  • Bro anarchists and socialists and communists and regular ass Democrats also own guns. They probably don’t LARP like they’re SEALS or post about it on the medias either.
    Some of the most dedicated to their beliefs and world view people I know were trapping in the sandbox during GWOT, doing hood rat shit on the daily. They’ve still got sticks bro.

    It probably helps drive home the point that you might want a way to defend yourself on hand when you’re searching a house for ordinance and you catch a 7.62 round in your front sapi and you realize that if that hit like 3-4” up you’d be gurgling blood out your Adam’s Apple or 3-4” to the left and your be frothing blood at the mouth while your boys try to seal up the lung leaking air out your back with the plastic wrapper of a field dressing, while in reality the homie your boys just bodied was just some farmer dad living in the house with his family. Bro was just some old fucking guy who thought his country should be sovereign strong enough to fight for it, probably killed or wounded a fair amount of troops with the ordinance stash he had hidden away, and came inches from killing you for it, but all dude really wanted to do was farm and chill with his family.

    Seeing that kind of reframes your whole idea of who would make up an armed insurgency, or at least how it’s not just the head choppers and brainwashed kids who are willing to die for it.



  • I understand the inherit issues/limitations with PGP, but this would be a non-issue if services just stored messages encrypted on disk internal to prevent leaks in case of a breach, but were otherwise unencrypted, and everyone just sent messages like: -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----\nVersion: GnuPG v2.2.0\nhQEMA+gAAKCRBKxZ12345678EBAAIAAAQABAoAB+P/234567890-=+QWErT\n... (a long string of seemingly random characters) ...\n=sdfsdf\n-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

    A lot of the issues with PGP would go away if applications had first party support for encryption and decryption with personally managed keys. You’d still have the issues that come along with personally managed keys though, but if the alternative is every government can compel central services to hand over managed keys, I’m fine with yelling “skill issue” at people who permanently lose access to all their messages.
