From here in Canada it looks a lot like, instead of governing responsibly, the USA is burning up its own land in the expectation that when things get tough it can just take ours.

Italy kind of said yes to fascism already. Their government is at least fascist-adjacent. Funny that even they don’t want ICE anywhere near them.

Scott Bessent is an absurd human being.

I don’t actually know. That comment comes from the origjnal submission which I cross-posted. I had not heard about any malicious code.

Well it’s not like there are any glaring examples on the world stage of exactly how this combo can cause your country to plummet very rapidly into misery and violence from which it won’t recover.

They’ll get a surprise when they realize they just made every server in the UK illegal and stopped the economy. But perhaps “relevant devices” are only those owned by the plebs.

Some of them are frog-faced loudmouth wankers.

Who knew that real-life Big Brother would turn out to be as dreary and limp as Keir Starmer?

Tor gets better the more people run nodes. The main danger with Tor is that someone can control enough nodes to analyze traffic back to its source. The best insurance against that is loads of independently run nodes. I2p is less convenient than Tor but actually a little more secure against that kind of traffic analysis I believe.

Yes, grab your meshtastic (or similar) gear now before you can’t any more.

OK. Here’s another:

Israeli fire kills 11, including journalists and children, Gaza medics say

The NYT is still intent on portraying these as a sequence of reasoned policy positions, and not the aimless meanderings of dementia writ large on the world stage.

It’s because they’re privileged people who only notice government when it inconveniences them. Liberty for them means “I can do whatever I want and I am under no obligations to my country or anyone else.” Underneath the rhetoric, the motives are the same as for “small government” conservatives. They care only about what directly inconveniences them, not about principles or other people. Small government or freedom from government just means “don’t ask anything of me.”

He’s dangerous because he’s sponsored by the forces of international fascism.

More fascism. That’s a plus for “former” Hitler fan Nigel.

Michael Scott would make a better President than the orange fascist buffoon.

It’s not clear how long Canada can fend off the far right, both internally and from the USA. I hope we can survive but there are too many damn Conservatives around.

Boycott US products and services in general too. Switch your online accounts to non-US companies. If you have investments, pull them out of the USA.

Unfortunately, we’re going to be feeling less keen to let Americans in while Trump is actively threatening our country.

Doesn’t sound fun to me.
