  • It was only a secret to the dumbest people on earth.

    If you didn’t know about the fact that this has already been happening for over a decade, welcome to that club. Being stupid and oblivious isn’t really something to brag about, though.

    And I’m sorry that I have to actually say this, but being as dumb as a box of hair is not a state of victimhood.

    Certainly, everyone is deserving of being taken care of, but when you are willfully, ignorant and forcefully expressive of those dumb, fuck concepts, you’re part of the fascism machine. And you are the problem.

    Not the victims of society that need help.

    Most people don’t have a choice in their ISP. Or the government which provide provides oversight… But if you are privileged enough to have a ISP, you can trust, you’re certainly amongst the minority.

    At least VPNs take transparent steps to protect you. At least there’s evidence supporting that.

    defending bigotry isn’t progress, and outright lying in the face of obvious bigotry isn’t doing yourself - or anyone - any favors.

    “don’t believe your lying eyes” is a line that only works on the most stupid and gullible, and you’re not going to get very far by telling your audience they’re too stupid to know better.

    oh, and if you think that defending bigotry is “contributing something meaningful,” think again.

    perhaps you should ask yourself: why do you like bigotry so much that you must dedicate so much time and effort and space to defending it?
