Censorship: Linus Torvalds Comes Out Blatant Censor's Advocate, Anti Privacy/Anonymity
by grarpamp 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/25-years-later-interview-linus-torvalds "Social Media... Add in anonymity, and it's just disgusting. When you don't even put your real name on your garbage (or the garbage you share or like), it really doesn't help. I'm actually one of those people who thinks that anonymity is overrated. Some people confuse privacy and anonymity and think they go hand in hand, and that protecting privacy means that you need to protect anonymity. I think that's wrong. Anonymity is important if you're a whistle-blower, but if you cannot prove your identity, your crazy rant on some social-media platform shouldn't be visible, and you shouldn't be able to share it or like it."

Can you be banned for an unpopular opinion?
by Ryan Carboni 11 Apr '19

Can you be banned for an unpopular opinion? Why ban someone for an unpopular opinion anyway? What exactly is in the first amendment? If law enforcement advises a company to ban a person, how does one appeal? I really think Cloudflare, Reddit, and the DoJ IG should be shut down. Sent from ProtonMail Mobile

To much forwarding, not enough commentage and extra goodies, so here we go again muh gritties - on the third time, if at first and at second you don't succeed, go directly to Google, do Not pass email through your local censoring ISP which deceives you with a nefarious yet happy "Email Accepted" log reply, and do Not assume your email got through. Send directly from Google gmail, and you are a known entity and escape this little loop of insanity. Purgatory is shared. Peace.

Caitlin Johnstone co-creating her, and our shared, world: “Just A Note Of Gratitude To Readers And Patrons” - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Not everyone agrees with everything one human says. And would you have life any other way? Caitlin Johnstone speaks, as best her many supporters can tell, from the heart, and this authenticity is longed for and sought after by many who've had enough of cotton wool PC conversations by the "even tiniest of confront" challenged. Thank you Caitlin for your self expression in this world. She is one current example of a human co-creating her and our shared world. Show up to this present life, here, now, in humility and authenticity, and life, the universe, and sometimes even other humans, have this one wierd little trick of synchronicity of showing up with you. When life throws you a lemon, don't bother with the sugar, add salt and really savour that lemon-y moment ;) ----- Forwarded message from Caitlin Johnstone <donotreply(a)wordpress.com> ----- From: Caitlin Johnstone <donotreply(a)wordpress.com> Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2019 14:25:50 +0000 Subject: [New post] Just A Note Of Gratitude To Readers And Patrons Post : Just A Note Of Gratitude To Readers And Patrons URL : https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/04/07/just-a-note-of-gratitude-to-readers… Posted : April 7, 2019 at 2:25 pm Author : Caitlin Johnstone Tags : caitlin johnstone, crowdfunding, gratitude, journalism Categories : Article I was planning on writing a poem this evening, but all I've got coming up right now is sheer gratitude for the kind of life I get to live because of the generous support of my patrons and the circulation of my work by my readers. I think prose will be my partner for this one. People have really been so good to me. I got to spend this morning ( https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/assange-is-not-a-journalist-yes-he-is-id… ) writing about how it's bullshit for people to claim that Julian Assange is not a journalist, which is just something I badly wanted to say. And people thanked me for it. How crazy is that? I'm really wild about this job, and I'm appreciating it more and more lately. I love that I get to spend all day thinking deep thoughts about our world's ills and then making word sculptures expressing them. I love that I get to keep my mind pointed at the fundamental struggle and let inspiration come up with new ways of addressing it every day. I don't really understand all the forces that have been in play in taking me to this point. Ideas bubble up from source unknown, people show up from the most unexpected places to help and uplift me, perfect strangers defend me when I'm being smeared and subverted, and money comes in so I can pay my bills while staying focused on this ongoing project. Whatever has caused this truckload of miracles to show up on my doorstep every morning, I am deeply grateful for it. This job has been very strange and scary at times, but there's nothing in this world that I'd rather be doing. So thank you. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for the financial support, thank you for sharing my work around online, thank you for spreading the word of mouth, thank you for the likes, the retweets, the comments, the feedback, and thank you for taking the ideas I've been putting out there and coming to your own thoughts and insights off of them. All of these things help immensely. I deeply care about this work, and it means so much to me that there's been such a tsunami of collaborators participating in it. The freedom that comes with being completely reader-supported enables me to attack the machine in ways I'd never be able to get away with in any other writing gig. Having to go through editors who don't always understand what I'm going for or who will chicken out when I want to say something controversial that needs to be said would have severely hobbled this work, and being able to skip the editorial approval process altogether enables me to interact with events as they come up quickly and in real time. I promise to always use this freedom for the greater good, and I will never under any circumstances accept money from anyone paying me to change the way I talk about anything (if I was going to that I might as well whore myself out to the MSM). I've learned so much on this journey, and I'm getting better and better at doing this thing. I promise to keep improving and keep finding the most effective ways possible to keep throwing scrap metal into the gears of the oppression machine. Thank you all so much for coming along on this weird and wonderful journey with me. It's only going to keep getting better. This is just getting started.
