Oddbean new post about login | logout This to me sounds like showing up to a war and telling your front line to rush the enemy at their convenience. Unorganized and destined to fail.
The only thing that’s destined to fail is the strategy of staying anonymous while the censors take away more and more of our rights. If everyone stood up and told them to fuck off, the flight would be over today. And I can’t order anyone to do anything. I can only say, “Look, I’m going to charge, and I encourage you to back me up because we are in the right, and this is important.”

That’s not the reality we find ourselves in. With comforts of modern life you won’t have organized revolt. Even when it is organized, very few things change. See Canadian truckers. You don’t win by being loud, you take action. Vote with a brain not party lines, speak up when others have nothing to say, and don’t use their money. We have all the necessary tools at our disposal and it’s up to people to use them. Sadly, harder said than done - see bitcoiners on X.
Truckers are a good example. They won: https://www.sott.net/article/481158-The-Truckers-Won-Everything

didnt seem like they did
Have you lived in an oppressed country ? Have you been oppressed ? I'm guessing its a big No. For every Snowden and Assange, there are thousands out there in detention camps and prisons all over the world who have been there for years for saying something their govt didn't like. Welcome to reality
If you’re a gay person in Uganda, it’s pretty clear you shouldn’t be posting your real thoughts under your real name. That’s not the case for 80 percent of the people here with nyms though to whom the post is obviously addressed.

You are welcome to make a hybrid client that requires email and enforced real names and ask people to use it. If people agree with your take, maybe they will. There are many good reasons to use nyms. If you don’t agree, that’s fine.
You obviously didn’t read the post: Short term benefits and medium-term risks aside, I’m generally against the practice, though I wouldn’t go so far as to require platforms to KYC (Know Your Customer), and obviously doxxing people, barring proof they’ve committed a crime (a real one, not a thought crime) is wrong. In other words, I think it should be legal, but discouraged.

Well Chris, I hope you get to know the world better. 80% of the world are screwed.
not relevant to the post which is that most of the people here are not nearly as screwed as they pretend to be. They’re just fearful.
what do you think they are fearful of ? getting a gentle pat in the back ? Or being immediately arrested and being put into detention camps with a min of 2 yrs - 20 yrs with no hopes of coming out or a fair trial because judiciary is just as corrupt? If you really want to get to know the world better, look into “security acts”, “prevention of terrorism” and “prevention of crimes” in all countries from 1st world to 3rd world, not just gay rights in Uganda. And look into all those who have been harassed, charged, convicted, imprisoned for saying something that did not please their gov'ts.
Do you think by keeping your head down and going along you are safe from a regime that would put you in jail for 20 years just for having an opinion? A regime like that would do anything to maintain power, even arbitrarily, and you know why they get away with it? Beacuse when they start threatening people, the people back down and go along with it. Pretty soon you can’t dissent, then you can’t listen to certain podcasts or access certain websites, then your bank account is frozen, etc. How does that state of affairs come to pass? By the compliance of the people. Those who hide are throwing those who stand up under the bus. They are playing a short-sighted game of going along, hoping no one comes for them. We’re not there yet, but we surely will be if everyone stays in hiding.
lol Chris. you really don't know the world do you? Ignorance is always bliss. Good luck with your ideal opinion. I hope you never have to experience what it feels like getting harassed non stop by the govt and cops or being put in prison.
Good luck to you too. Pam. I hope enough people refuse to live in a society where that’s permitted.
