https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Fischer GRAMPS-Fischer appealed to a group of Nazi students, proclaiming that “Those who call for a struggle against Jewish capital are already, gentlemen, class strugglers, even if they don’t know it. You are against Jewish capital and want to fight the speculators. Very good. Throw down the Jewish capitalists, hang them from the lamp-post, stamp on them.”

emptywheel ·2h The article DOES, however, make it clear that claims that were key to Julian Assange's extradition attempt--that his charges arose from Trump's animus--were a lie. He was charged when he was bc of a credible RU exfiltration attempt.

Cryptoanarchism didn't fall from the sky

If it aint broke don't fix it - I would go so far as to vote to save the jury system. Crypto anarchy is basically trad anarchism dragged and dropped on the net - and as the net self-encrypts so does the anarchism. TL/DR its political-economy for laymen NOT quantum-fucking-gravity for specialists. I can't wait for the strong AI to start work on some of our great data-banks! https://libcom.org/library/collectives-spanish-revolution-gaston-leval And I also can't wait for the long overdue death of Thiel Kochsuckers like Buttface Buterin.

BUTTFACED LIES about C-Punks
by professor rat 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

"... And so we get the fundamental conundrum: the cypherpunk spirit is fundamentally about making maximally immutable systems that work with as little information as possible about who is participating ("on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog"), but making new forms of governance requires the system to have richer information about its participants and ability to dynamically respond to attacks in order to remain stable in the face of actors with unforeseen incentives..." https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/09/26/limits.html GET FUCKED MORON! Its the anarchist political-economy stupid. Cypherpunk revolution is all about privacy for the poor and transparency for the powerful. Love it or leave it. The core spirit of cypherpunk will always be cryptoanarchism. DEAL WITH IT!

Thanks to laidback list member, Jakob Applecheeks, we are now much more cognizant of the sad plight of multi-millionaire, celebrity journalists in todays harsh modern networked world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_Russia At the dirty highwater mark of the WL scam, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) repeated its conclusion that Russia was one of the deadliest countries in the world for journalists.

Turn about is fair play
by professor rat 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

When cypherpunks have been targeting USG employee's with APster - including the POTUS every year for the last 20 years - why would the USG not try and target us? Turn about is fair play and " When cypherpunks are called terrorists we will have done our job ". Old cypherpunks proverb. The problems any journalists are having with the USG is orthogonal to cypherpunks. The last time journalism worked as advertised was nearly half-a-fucking-century ago and in any large Military-Entertainment-Complex the Media are precisely half the problem. Journalists that actively work with and praise the police and/or military are the natural enemy of all revolutionary cypherpunks. Take Declan, Thomas Rid and etc. The scum of the earth. Like Wikileaks... With enemies like Wikileaks the USG doesn't need friends.
