This list is *not* for that, and it's not a list to longtalk food recipes, or anything else either. Lack of moderation is not license for people to come here and setup their own offtopic shops, grossly, willfully and continually disrespecting what it says on the tin and the history of the list long before you [1], to the tune of many tens to hundreds of messages per month, especially without tying it into that. If you want to longtalk anything other than that to the point that the charter would need a whole new section just for you, GO FIND OR MAKE YOUR OWN FUCKING LIST FOR THAT.

If you're wondering why the "thousands" of people on the list aren't "analysing political philosophies" with you, it's because YOU'RE FUCKING OFFTOPIC, THEY DON'T WANT TO, and they've BLOCKED YOUR ASS. But for new people hoping to find a real or even passable cypherpunk list, and before even joining and blocking you, but just looking over archives, your noise, and the angry abusive trolls, kills it for them. Have some respect for that. The lot of you. Or get off here.

Yeahhhh!!!! Yaaaahuuuu! For that shit, real SHIT of pseudo-respect to some imaginable list rules - grarpamp gives AND demands respect. YEAH!!! Respect!!! But giving some respect for some things... you know, a little, just "a little bit" more important... like Dignity.. or Humanity.. or Virtue.. or Compassion.. or even this Appelbaums case/thread from today? No way. No fucken way. No fucken respect. We are "anarchists" and we do what we want. grarpamp and alike, with aaaalll the respect - *Go, please go, pleaaaaase go go go fuck yourself at last! You peace of petty HYPOCRITE(s)!*

Anarchy doesn't scale. What will you expect with billion+ people without societal structure? Watch World War Z and then Book of Eli to find out. The future will probably be some mix of Apocalypse and Enlightenment, with the latter growing over the former. Some Judgement will happen, but unfortunately or not, it didn't come from the technologically-minded -- that Revolution got ***co-opted*** by CSS, Javascript, and Node.js. Now collectively called "systemd" (in my warped mind). So how do the techno-literati take back the Net, just as the masses need to take back the Law? For that, find the Business Plan at hackerspaces.org and read Zen Code. You may be seated, \0xDyamite

Anarchy is a beautiful dream. But it's unworkable, except in small, self-selected groups. Basically, there are too many sociopaths. Maybe about 10%-20%. Some are just mean, dishonest and violent. But for the most part, they mind their own business. So they're not problematic. We can live with occasional serial killers ;) But the others, they seek wealth, power, and control. They become the mafia, the feudal overlords, the government, the corporates. So unless and until they are excluded or eliminated, anarchy is unworkable.

Some discussion of "* anarchy" isn't really anarchy, it is just maybe anarchy to someone fixated on a fixed definition of their favorite system. Or a signal by someone suggesting such a departure. Any real political anarchy has been a failure. If you have proof that isn't the case, then present it.

Keep picking nits loser. Red Flora, Rote Flora, Hamburg Germany. A whole anarchist neighborhood and community center that's existed for years. Three years ago they stood the government down, with assistance coming from all over Europe.
"The city experienced some of its worst street violence since the Second World War. Masked protesters torched cars and showered police with stones, bottles and fireworks. The police responded with water cannon, baton charges and tear gas. More than 120 police officers and an estimated 500 demonstrators were injured, many of them badly.
Just days later, another group of protesters assaulted police with stones and bottles as they were leaving the Davidwache station in what was apparently an unprovoked attack." http://auntieimperial.tumblr.com/post/73176327509 http://en.squat.net/2013/12/23/hamburg-update-on-saturdays-protest/ Ps.

If it isn't directly about the access to or effects of cryptography and related security practices, it is off topic. Early on, the list was largely about making sure that we had unfettered access to encryption and reasoning about the consequences of that. This was important for ecommerce, the Internet in general, the boundaries of the First Amendment, and as the baseline for the rest of the world. All kinds of power grabs were in play, directly from the FBI and others. A weak response might have left us in a position difficult to unravel. Most of that came out OK, but there are always ongoing concerns and implications. Arguing whether the end of the world is coming or whose fault it is or who is making political or military mistakes is all completely off topic. sdw

Exactly what a US establishment puppet woud say. So let's see : 1992 : "Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. " I wonder if Tim May is embarrased at having mande such a blatantly wrong predicion. " Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re- routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering." Where are such networks operating? What we do have is completely sabotaged hardware courtesy of Intel Inc, a criminal organization that May had something to do, I believe.
but there are always ongoing concerns and implications.
Oh...

Sure. It's especially important that the political 'mistakes' of the american nazis be completely 'ignored'.

I wonder if Tim May is embarrased at having mande such a blatantly wrong predicion.
He wasn't wrong. Anonymous communication is fairly easy now. But for most of us most of the time, there is no need. That's the real revolution, although off topic. That we have options and methods is on topic.
" Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re- routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering."
Where are such networks operating?
Government networks work that way. Others generally can use less intensive solutions to get a good enough result. Do you think that anyone savvy and not a target of anti-terrorism has trouble communicating securely? We should keep examining theory, writing code, finding good solutions. There are definitely interesting problems left. My favorite thought experiment: Instead of weak centrally controlled communication systems that can be accessed, broken, leaked widely: A distributed system that is secure from abuse, yet able to expose communication that some important subset vote to expose. Instead of threatening violence, threaten exposure within the rules of a self-regulating system. That's on topic.
What we do have is completely sabotaged hardware courtesy of Intel Inc, a criminal organization that May had something to do, I believe.5but there are always ongoing concerns and implications.
Worry about whatever you want to worry about.
Oh...
Arguing whether the end of the world is coming or whose fault it is or who is making political or military mistakes is all completely off topic.
Sure. It's especially important that the political 'mistakes' of the american nazis be completely 'ignored'.
Completely off topic. And ignorant. But especially off topic.

I wonder if Tim May is embarrased at having mande such a blatantly wrong predicion.
He wasn't wrong. Anonymous communication is fairly easy now.
Stupid, blatant lie.
But for most of us most of the time, there is no need.
Because we live in a libertarian world, right? So are you crazy beyond all hope, or just an establishment mouthpiece?
That's the real revolution, although off topic.
There hasn't been any revolution. Only crazies completely out of touch with reality would believe otherwise.
That we have options and methods is on topic.
LMAO. You want to dictate what is on or off topic? You the champion of 'free' speech? What a cute clown you are Stephen.
" Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re- routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering."
Where are such networks operating?
Government networks work that way.
Aaaaannnd, yes! You've done it. You are saying with a straight face, in the fucking cypherpunks mailing list, that the people who have the 'cypherpunk tools' are the government nazis...that the cypherpunks were supposed to overthrow. What's wrong with you Stephen? =)
Others generally can use less intensive solutions to get a good enough result. Do you think that anyone savvy and not a target of anti-terrorism has trouble communicating securely?
I know for a fact that is the case. The whole infrastructure is sabotaged. Only a government agent would deny it.
We should keep examining theory, writing code, finding good solutions. There are definitely interesting problems left. My favorite thought experiment:
Dude, the cypherpunk movement is pretty much a failure. Why don't you get the basic problems fixed first, before embarking in more deranged speculation?
What we do have is completely sabotaged hardware courtesy of Intel Inc, a criminal organization that May had something to do, I believe..
Worry about whatever you want to worry about.
What's the problem Stephen? You are too much of a despicable coward to face reality? Again : your motherfucking americunt corporations have sabotaged all the 'information technology' infrastructure. Do you understand? Is that ON TOPIC, RETARD?
Oh...

The group was "an effective anarchy". So is hanging out with your friends. Corporations (and families for that matter) are, classically, dictatorships. Does that make the political and economic system they operate in dictatorships too?

Families and businesses are dictatorial beacause they operate in a dictatorial environment - child raising tends to be pretty dictatorial per se. What is your point. My point was to inform people that the 'themes' of the cypherpunk 'movement' are supposed to be libertarian themes (forgetting for a second that the US libertarian party is a joke)

ps: messages from the great philosopher Stephen D. Williams? 77 in total, stopped posting in 1995 - messages are either content free or nerdy, useless, technical stuff.
And firewalls: http://www.greatcircle.com/firewalls/archive/firewalls.199502
We were talking about crypographic and security related topics, like firewalls and protocols, time stamping services (which I implemented a couple times for widely used services), etc.
Cool. And you sabotaged them as well, as per orders from your government I assume. Why don't you tell us about that?
I even found time to correct Tim May, who cried uncle sort of. ;-) I happened to have personal knowledge of that situation.
I wasn't mature enough to philosophize much then.
And you think you are know? Do you know the etymology of the word "philosophy", I suppose? Philo-sophy means love of knowdlege/wisdom. See, the requirement for philosophy is not 'maturity'(whatever you mean by that). The requirement for philosophy is the love of truth and intellectual honesty.
I lurked later, being extremely busy implementing things and other pursuits.

Families and businesses are dictatorial beacause they operate in a dictatorial environment - child raising tends to be pretty dictatorial per se. What is your point.
I've said this before. Your world is lonely and miserable. Rr

"Similarly, there's the Libertarian Party, with similar themes to our own..."
"Getting back to your suggestion that "we" change the name to something more respectable. How could "we" do this, given that "we" are an effective anarchy?"
The group was "an effective anarchy". So is hanging out with your friends. Corporations (and families for that matter) are, classically, dictatorships. Does that make the political and economic system they operate in dictatorships too?

My point was to inform people that the 'themes' of the cypherpunk 'movement' are supposed to be libertarian themes (forgetting for a second that the US libertarian party is a joke)
"Form your own group, your own mailing list, with a catchy name, something like "The Privacy Education Foundation," or "The American Civil Liberties Union" (whoops, taken), or "The Society for the Preservation of Cyberspatial Liberty." " "Evolution in action. The market in action. A better approach than trying to get the name and the charter changed."

If you want to longtalk anything other than that to the point that the charter would need a whole new section just for you, GO FIND OR MAKE YOUR OWN FUCKING LIST FOR THAT.
