  • That’s how you get “general secretaries” and “chairmen of military commission” who are totally not Supreme Leaders.

    Any attempt to “limit” power by declaring that there are no rulers and everyone is “just a comrade” only leads to obfuscation of power and complete shift to backroom politics.

    There are people who like being told what to do and there those who enjoy giving orders (and “apolitical” people who “just want to live their lives” are actually part of the first group). Hierarchical systems will form one way or another, whether codified or not.

    Yeah that’s a solved problem. Iran, Russia, China and other countries have gone through this “stages of denial” process years ago. It starts with “haha they are incompetent and can’t block everything” and 10 years later half the Internet is blocked and you have prison sentencing for accessing “illegal” information (for the flgood of the people of course). Anyone who claims that internet censorship is not possible is a naive person fortunate enough to live in a place where it’s not a thing.

    “IT people/programmers are furry gay liberals” is a myth. There are plenty of bootlickers among them, like in any large enough group of people that’s not defined by a specific ideology/political affiliation.








  • VPN does very little to stop fingerprinting done by websites. Your IP address is only a tiny bit of information in a vast ocean of data that websites can collect from you. “VPN = privacy” is a marketing scam. The only ones it protects your from is your ISP. VPN’s purpose is to hide you web traffic from your ISP, bypass website bans kindly mandated by the government to “protect” you and enforced by ISP, or to hide torrent traffic (again detected by your ISP), etc.
