"To demonize state authoritarianism while ignoring identical albeit contract-consecrated subservient arrangements in the large-scale corporations which control the world economy is fetishism at its worst. " https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/bob-black-the-libertarian-as-conser… Except that some people "forget" that "state authoritarianism" is usually imposed involuntarily upon all inhabitants of a huge geographical land area, with essentially no competition at all. Whereas contract-based systems generally include very high levels of competition. So, calling them "identical" is laughably false. <<<< Spoken like a true conservative that's never worked in a factory. Its also easier to 'forget' - and lie-flat as they say in China - where social-security welfare-statism is more developed. So for many in the West statism is less to be feared and loathed than the activities of contract-based-systems causing environmental damage that can be seen from space. Logging and Glyphosating huge geographical land areas doesn't exist on planet Dumbell?

Cryptocurrency: Seeking Approval
by grarpamp 12 Dec '21

12 Dec '21

Ultimately "seeking approval" is generally bound to be unproductive and cancelling to the goals of the approval seeker, as there is most always a point at which the would-be approver realizes their very existance is in jeopardy, from which they will thereafter always act to disapprove, violently. It's an odds game as usual, however analysis of history may show that your only hope is to indeed blitz efficiently, rapidly, subvertively, adoptively, privately, transformatively, without approval, far past the point at which disapproval is long since mooted. Whichever the way... Qapla'

Attorney-client privilege doesn’t apply if attorney & client are plotting criminal activity
by professor rat 12 Dec '21

Ellis is not refuting that she wrote the memos, and instead appears to be acknowledging their authenticity. As for attorney-client privilege, that doesn’t apply if the attorney and client are plotting criminal activity together. https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/trump-lawyer-jenna-ellis-freaks-out-a… Ellis? You shouldn't be doing this.

Wikipedia Mirrors and Forks

I'd lost all my links to wikipedia forks, websearching hadn't worked, and was quite excited to see this.

This page also indirectly links to a number of third-party archives of wikipeda. It also gives instructions on running your own fork or mirror. The list of all mirrors considered active is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/All . The archive of sites that have gone down is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/Archive . Attached is a very quick scrape of names and urls [sorry it is so hasty]. It contains 706 entries, and misses a number that have abnormal formatting.
