In all these operations, anonymity is what drives it.

I was born and raised in the anonymous internet, and tasted its freedoms. I oppose censorship. But, at this point, I have come to wonder it it would be best to always have your real-life personality attached to all you do. At least to any action that feeds an algorithm or creates something someone else can see.

It is the nature of the internet that you could never achieve absolute censorship -- and maybe anonymity should belong to the hackers and tinkers with the will and drive to hunt and craft for it.

I do not like holding this opinion, because it feels as though it is on the similar boat as that of those who 'pull up the ladder after themselves'. Increasingly, I see it as pulling shut the trapdoors to hell.

P.S. This goes without saying -- it's also the only was to defend against "ai" bots.

EDIT: I'm thoroughly convinced that my initial position here was wrong. Yeah -- easy to forget that, with, COINTELPRO, the feds are not bound by the same laws as the people, and that oligarch-controlled media will bend over backwards to give them backdoors. Thanks for all the feedback.

It is worsened by the fact she, too, now, has been unemployed.

The status-quo is awful. Leeches in C-suite doing everything they can to squeeze pennies from the people, leveraging their capital to in turn abuse those in other countries.

The world needs to come together and cap how much value can be retained without reinvesting it back into the lifeblood of society.

The one exception I had for this was Bill Gates.

Then I looked into the past behavior of Microsoft, and what he was going with Jeffery Epstein.

I no longer hold him as an exception.

I have a coworker that does the same. His logic was sound -- when something is heavily subsidized, abuse it.
