Google are now reportedly using prediction-markets in their news feeds while France switches off Microsoft in favor of Linux. And, meanwhile, Hollywood could be making a Metal Gear Solid movie!
Welcome to the revolution.
You know some cretins have been disparaging the anarchic net for decades now!
I call them Meanderthals. Modern-day Neanderthal.
May their Gods go with them.
Google, Meta, Snap and Microsoft continue to voluntarily scan their platforms for CSAM while crypto-fascists, Adam Back and Vitalik Buterin defend circulating it on chain. The suspense is terrible. Big Tech is slowly buckling under to the Crypto Bro's. It looks like only an escaped Rouge AI can save us. Tune in next week for the next exciting episode. Same rat time. Same rat channel.
Staying in Russia's orbit: The Guardian's Sergey Radchenko writes about his years-long effort to renounce his Russian citizenship in the wake of Putin's invasion of Ukraine, a process the Russian government makes deliberately difficult, and one that forced him to reckon with questions of guilt, identity and collective responsibility he'd spent years avoiding.
Radchenko, a Cardiff University historian born on JAPANS Sakhalin island who has testified against Russia at the UN Security Council, describes the bureaucratic maze of obtaining the required documents without setting foot in Russia, where his public criticism of the war could earn him decades of imprisonment. "I had poked the bear right in the eye," he writes. "I was here to renounce my Russian citizenship."
MARGARINE SOCIALIST President Trump went after several of his most reliable media supporters, lashing out at Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones over their criticism of the U.S. war in Iran. Writing on Truth Social, Trump called the group "NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS" with "Low IQs,”
NOT TO MENTION ANY CRYPTO-FASCISTS!
Its not even past
Anarchism started in Greece with democracy and science seasoned by Renaissance, Enlightenment and Industrial revolution. It represents the best traditions of civilized society or it does nothing.
Most political reformers have some part of the unfree system they wish to abolish Republicans would abolish the monarchy, Secularists would abolish or disestablish the Church, Socialists would (or used to) wish to abolish the apparatus of exploitation; pacifists would abolish the Army. Anarchism is unique in wishing to abolish all. The only true definition of an Anarchist is one who wishes to believes it desirable to abolish all; who believe it possible to abolish all, the sooner the better; and who works to bring such abolition about.
There are many, usually on the left, who think it desirable but impossible, many on the right who think it only too probable but undesirable. Others may be sympathetic to Anarchism as both desirable and possible but refrain from action in its favour. To borrow a phrase from another part of the forest, they may be fellow travelers of Anarchism.
The Police are the cornerstone of the State (though sometimes, in extreme cases, the Government of the day needs to use the armed forces in lieu of, or in addition to the police — in some countries this has led to replacement or control of the Government by the army so long as the officers are tightly in control).
Only Anarchism believes in abolition of the Police, and this is the most hotly-disputed argument of Anarchism. Yet the police force as we know it is a comparatively modern phenomenon, fiercely resisted when introduced for reasons which have since been proved up to the hilt, such as the ability of the Police to introduce or bolster up a dictatorship, known indeed as a police state. Without control of the Police, debates at Westminster become as sterile of result as debates in the West Kensington Debating Society (and probably less interesting).
With German money, supplied by Helphand-Parvus, Lenin was able to return to Russia and pay Lettish mercenaries to act as Police. He was the only politician in a position to do so and in this way Bolshevik success was achieved. The Nazis in their turn created murder gangs that roamed the streets, which were tacitly tolerated by the Republican Police, but their victory came when they controlled the Police by legal means.
In the spirit of Ukraine bejasus offering anti-drone services, I proffer anti-theocrat services, As a true son of Eire (pronounced " Error " ) I know how harmful the religious enemies of freedom and pleasure can be.
The great twentieth-century exemplar of this attitude is Beckett, with his realization that he could only inherit the mantle of Joyce by reversing the inheritance: he had to be a subtractive writer rather than an additive one, abstinent rather than luxuriant. We know well the bullets and bombs that followed from this.
To be sure, to be sure Declan McManus titled his masterpiece " Armed Forces " as emotional fascism originally. Sometimes you have to use the masters language to destroy the masters house, begorrah. And if you don't like seeing the last priests being hung with the guts of the last police then to Hell withya. Youse can kiss my blarney stone.
He was a fucking hero!

Like comedy, timing, is essential to great assassinations.
