Owing to a recent issue, I'm locking my account too. We can't survive with attacks like this.

A reminder that if you're designing computer security systems in 2017, the following threat profiles are actually all the same threat actor:

* 4chan
* neo-Nazis
* Twitter trolls
* radical theocrats
* the Russian Mob
* the Russian President
* the Florida casino mafia
* the New York real estate mafia
* armed conspiracy theorists
* some Silicon Valley billionaire CEOs and venture capitalists
* The Senate, Congress and President of the United States

Not even joking. This is where we are.

@xkeeper Some of the activists are control freaks. I learned that the hard way. x.x

There's too much Nihlism and Apathy in this world. I don't know why..

@paulfree14 As long as they don't turn out like the Terminator, I think we'll be fine. :3

@oxenfree@mastodon.social <billwurtzmode>The news is a deadly laser</billwurtzmode>

Which is why I avoid it like the plauge. >.> <.<

@Kit @vahnj Remember: "Freedom is merely privilege extended unless enjoyed by one and all."

So, yeah.

I hadn't realized how much I'd gotten used to the idea of being harassed on the web because 'hands off' policies from inaccessible site admins were so common.

Being here on masto really made me think about how much the web-based cruelty I had come to think of as """"""normal""""" was in fact unnecessary.

Culture matters, in a visceral way.

hello mastodon let's see if you're already being able to mobalize ppl
By activists it's the main argument why use #facebook and #twitter

#G20 is comming to #Hamburg

How about you?

- the 20 most important character masks of global capitalism will meet in the city
- the 20 strongest national economies will push forward the harnessing of the world for the global capitalist use
- G20 is a assembly of bourgeois governments, torture states and warring military blocks reinforcing global exploitation

Choosing to block an instance is part of the concept of the Anarchist methodology of "free association", meaning you can choose to associate or not with any other instance.

What an idiot!

That comes with the important disclaimer that I do suffer from anxiety disorder, so I might be reading too much into it.

Global Politics 

I picked up something involving the death of a US traveler who went to NK. I'm willing to guess that it could be the flashpoint of war, and as a result, the reaction could endanger thousands, if not millions and even billions of lives.

An unwise decision made by one person could easily esclate to war, and I do fear tht might happen. So, keep an eye out for any warnings.

the core of my kinks (aka may as well do this one) 

@Thaminga Well, I share a lot of those~
