- As I explained in my quote for this post, alt OSes are already being targeted too, the US is turning into NK, and worst-case, could be locked to a state intranet with its own Red Star OS.

There could be a time also when Linux desktops and laptops are targeted like alt Android phones are being targeted right now.

@cwebber USA=1970s USSR, we became the evil empire we opposed.

@cwebber

This is a threatening development.

I say this with love, even though it's going to sound a lot like hate.

They desperately need a short and sharable description of the problem for people who aren't leftists and don't like leftists.

You know, something that points out why this this a bad thing for everyone, yada yada yada.

That blog post isn't sympathetic at all if you aren't another leftist.

@cwebber Thanks for sharing the news. I tried to donate to A/I about 12 hours ago via Liberapay, but their payment processor PayPal wouldn’t allow me to send money without creating an account, which I was not willing to do.

I tried again just now—and PayPal have locked A/I’s account. I hope no money of theirs got frozen. Let’s hope the Italian banking system is beyond the U.S. government’s reach for now and SEPA transfers still work.

And plugging NoBlogs can't harm I guess ?

https://noblogs.org/

Oh, I remember when I created my blog there, the onboarding was not smooth sailing. But if you're a little bit into technology you'd probably fine. 😇

Folks, how about creating a wiki or blog page where all the links can be put for other websites, magazines, news outlets who posted in solidarity ?

@cwebber It was a target the moment the fascists took power from the people

@cwebber God forbid we don't suck the cock of big tech(TM), our grand overlords ruling with an iron boot of ads, firmly planted in our faces 24/7.

@cwebber

they already stated recently they want to punish criticism against capitalism, and being on fediverse is even not just criticism but a plain attack by not giving meta etc. your data

@cwebber
Can anyone file suit against this? I want to support them financially but apparently that would be a federal felony now?

@cwebber You are correct, their legal strategy is broadly to define all opposition as terrorism. They are attempting to create a narrative that there is an international leftist conspiracy against the USA. It’s a means to then attempt to connect domestic political groups to this international “conspiracy” as a means of targeting them with the state apparatus originally designed for the war on terror.

They’ve been wanting to do something like this since the 1980s.

@cwebber Truth is the enemy of fascism, dictatorship, authoritarians, oligarchs.
