I can see how someone could get me mixed up with a successful tech entrepreneur like Dave Barret Only missing the subtle detail that he calls for a vote in nationalist elections for Joe Biden while I call for a 'vote ' for Joe at STIFFS dotcom. Its a common mistake. " LETS GO BRANDON!" https://stiffs.com/celebrity/joebiden Reposts not voluntaryist bilgewater

Jillian C. York: Why Online Anonymity Matters
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 05 Oct '22

05 Oct '22

This is an enumeration of research articles regarding why it is very important to keep your legal name secret online. Last updated early 2021. The EFF links would likely be the most known in this community. https://jilliancyork.com/2021/01/14/everything-old-is-new-part-2-why-online… Every few weeks or so, some[one] some white dude suggests that the way to solve all of our online problems is to require users to submit ID verification and use their “real names,” ignoring years of research and commentary. This is what I like to call the White Man’s Gambit. I’ve advocated in favor of the right to online anonymity and/or pseudonymity[1] for many years, but no need to take it from me; there is loads of research and advocacy out there from a diversity of groups and individuals. This page will seek to compile that research (as always, DM me on Twitter if you have something to add). # Academic and other research - J. Nathan Matias’s foundational work[2] on the “real name fallacy,” demonstrating that the use of “real” names does not inherently result in civil discourse. - Emily van der Nagel’s research[3] on the linking of identities and bodies on NSFW Reddit. - Also from van der Nagel: “Alts and Automediality: Compartmentalising the Self through Multiple Social Media Profiles”[4] - Research from the Queensland Department of the Premier and Cabinet[5] on social media and identity verification - “Constructing and enforcing ‘authentic’ identity online: Facebook, real names, and non-normative identities”[6] by Oliver L. Haimson and Anna Lauren Hoffmann - “Trustworthiness and truth: The epistemic pitfalls of internet accountability”[7] by Karen Frost Arnold - “What do we know and what should we do about internet privacy”[8] by Paul Bernal - “The Adobe Content Authenticity Initiative approach to authenticity infrastructure against media manipulation”[9] from Witness - “Ethics for Cyborgs: On Real Harassment in an Unreal Place”[10] by Katherine Cross # Advocacy, popular media, and other expertise - Realnames.online[11] is an excellent resource on the topic of identity verification - Geek Feminism Wiki[12] maintains several excellent pages related to the subject - An important comment from an early Facebook moderator[13] - “Facebook’s ‘Real Name’ Policy Can Cause Real-World Harm for the LGBTQ Community”[14] (2014) by Jillian C. York and Dia Kayyali - EFF’s 2015 open coalition letter[15] to Facebook urging them to change their policy. - “Changes to Facebook’s “Real Names” Policy Still Don’t Fix the Problem”[16] by Eva Galperin and Wafa Ben Hassine (2015) - “Korean internet identity verification rule struck down unconstitutional; 13 highlights of the judgment”[17] (2012) - “One Name to Rule Them All: Facebook’s Identity Problem”[18] by Jessa Lingel and Tarleton Gillespie (2014) - “Pornhub Is Just the Latest Example of the Move Toward a Verified Internet”[19] by Robyn Caplan - “True Names and Identity on the Internet”[20 by Andrew Conway - “Real Names Chill Free Speech”[21] by Paul Bernal - “Tracing trust: Why we must build authenticity infrastructure that works for all”[22] by Sam Gregory - “Human Rights Video, Privacy and Visual Anonymity in the Facebook Age”[23] by Sam Gregory - “Nymwars!

Cryptocurrency: Libertarian Socialism and Bitcoin
by professor rat 05 Oct '22

05 Oct '22

Bitcoin, 'the clearly early held out as and by OG Voluntary Libertarian AnCap coin' ( according to Garbage-scow Grampus ) was not wholeheartedly embraced by OG's like Mongo and Dumbell, then Assmange traded million in crypto for fiat. Seems their possible concerns about the ' public ledger ' aspect may also be very well justified when Chainanalysis hops into bed with the pentagon. Btw, the US military has been described as the most socialist institution in America ( Stan Goff ) BIG DOG is also linked to UNCLE SCAM by brazen collaborators like Adam Back and Paolo Adoino. Certainly at least one nation-state doesn't find Btc a threat. El Salvador should be welcoming the likes of Gramps any day now. Come to think of it - why hasn't he moved there already? If Btc is his OG Voluntary Libertarian AnCap coin then it follows with an iron logic, El Salvador is the answer to all his prayers. Hasta luego G!

LOL. Let them FOMO the price up. Socialism has always, wherever and however it has been tried, failed, miserably. And the "but real socialism works" claim is nonsense. There are reasons why it will always fail, but those are beyond the will to comprehend of any socialist so no point in covering them. Also funny that all these self proclaimed "socialists" totally refuse to move to any socialist country (most countries are, including all with taxes aka theft) so they can live out their glorious "struggle", give up all their own property, etc... instead they stay in and fuck with and leech on free-er countries. Said refusal is yet more proof they know socialism sucks. But they still shill it, lol. ps @tomjmaxwell: There is no "liberty" under any "equality" enforced by "solidarity" or any other socialist mechanism. > Reposts not necessary-rally Grow up.
