outright paid indirectly by the state

I think he realized the US’s turn towards fascism and amp up the right-wing rhetoic to secure his adjustment of status. AFIAK, he is still a citizen of South Africa, and I’m not even sure if he has permanent residency in the US, or just some visa. I think he’s bootlicking to make sure he doesn’t get deported to South Africa.

And he’s a cishet white man, so this spiral into fascism doesn’t affect him, which is why he’s too blind to see the shit that’s been happening.

And its also the fact that he criticized South Africa and China too much, he just has to keep his mouth shut about the US to stay out of trouble, kinda similar to how Snowden went against the US, and now he is in a situation where he can’t criticize the Russian government.

I got a weird vibe with serpentza.

One one hand, yes he does tell the truth about China sometimes. But he also have this weird vibe like putting “My Chinese Wife” in youtube titles (like imagine a white guy in America putting “My Black Wife” in the youtube title) or even a video title designed to clickbait people like “Are Chinese Men Cowards” which its just like WTF is that title, he did answer “No” in the video, but this guy clearly doesn’t care about Political Correctness (aka: Politeness).

But he literally made a video recently proclaiming the USA is “the best” country in the world. Not “one of the best”, he said “the best”. The Video was made after trump won the election for the second time.

You can’t take this guy seriously.

The homeless thing is real tho. They exist. But my point is: serpenza is a joke.

Edit: This is the video where serpentza said the “America is Best” thing: https://youtu.be/1hePvgiYyhU?t=1029 (Starts at 17:09)

“America is the best country I’ve ever lived in” Which is because he have lived in 3 countries, South Africa, PRC, USA, of course the US seems the best, because he haven’t lived (as in long-tern) in EU countries, but then he doubled down in the next sentence:

“America is the best country in the world” LOL nope. Dude forgot the EU Exists. 🤣

Video was published in December 30, 2024, like… bruh… forgot the LGBT people? Minorities? Immigrants? 🤔 This is white privilage in action. Maybe he isn’t malicious, but this is peak ignorance and being totally out of touch, even if he has good intents.

Perhaps the official app has issues.

Some VPN providers have wireguard protocol. (I think nordvpn does)

Search “[VPN Provider] Wireguard” for info.

Usually you log in to the account on the website, you choose some servers then create a configuration file.

Then you find any app that can create a Wireguard tunnel. There are many open source ones on F-Droid. Import the configuration file in the app and you have a VPN. I use “Rethink DNS” which has both a Firewall and VPN via Wireguard (and various other features). If one doesn’t work, just try another, there like 3 different wireguard apps at least.

Bruh

Delete all the text and this diagram looks like:

One male medieval era soldier fighting for an oppressive patriarchy, in a battle where his fellow soldiers surrendered after realizing they are the baddies, surrounded by an army of women-only skilled archers fighting for egalitarianism.

Bruh, this is the Good Place Committee IRL 🤣

I guess Germany is fascist for banning the nazi party then? 🤔

Cold? Lol, they should live in russia, the regime they are loyal to. Experience the actual coldness.

What are they gonna do, arrest 70 million dissidents?

Spontaneous Nazi Combustion

Nothing to see here, nature just did that. 😏

I mean, people are usually safer if they are part of the majority racial group.

Similarly, a cishet straight white person is safer in the US than China (probably… as long as they aren’t being openly leftist)

FYI, you can just ignore any “No Pets” rule once you moved in, especially with individual landlords, if you already have a cat, just lie. They don’t have the leverage to do anything such as trying to evict becuase it would lead to a lot of money lost because the time being empty in between tenants which mean they won’t be making any profits. So most would just not enforce the rule since its much easier. Especially in blue jurisdictions where eviction is much more difficult, tenants have much more leverage. Landlords aren’t gonna evict unless you damage the house, or stop paying rent.

I know this because I have an aunt that owns a few properties and I heard about how they conduct their “bussiness”.

Nah, how about blue states take on the name “USA” then declare red states to be treacherous states engaging in rebellion. They are the ones going against the constitution, afterall. Better legitimacy to convince the military to side with the Pro-Constitution forces (Blue States).

Great, makes things a lot more clear for EU Political Asylum Applications

Everyone have different roles. The truck drivers who transported ammunition during the fight against nazis is just as important as the soldiers on the front line.

As I said in my other comment, this era has one of the best tools. Cameras. Record protests and share videos so there is evidence of popular resentment against the regime, and also proves any acts of police brutality. Information can sway the “court of public opinion”. Use social media to counter corporate propaganda.

Oh yea, it seems like Motorola also doesn’t have it the last time I checked. Samsung still has it. Not sure why, but I’m guessing it has to do with Pixel not having an SD card slot, so Google stopped developing those part of the code and its OEMs to keep those code maintained.

I’m curious, which OEMs/ROMs still have it?

Step 1: Obtain Cat

Step 2: Show the cat your roach infestation

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit? MEOW?

(Good for getting rid of mice, doesn’t do much against roaches… 🤷‍♂️ At least the cat is warm to hold when I’m sad)

“The attack on my life has left me scarred” 🤣

Hmmm

I skimmed the webpage and seems like some minimalist phone, which cannot adequetely replace many functions of a modern smartphone.

Fairphone works in Europe, but in the US, for example, only Tmobile allows fairphones, the other carriers, while there nothing technological that prevents them fron working, the carriers being being really shit about it. And Tmovile could also become hostile with a flip of a switch. So yea, that’s a huge issue, unless you want a wifi-only device.

I fear in the future, devices will be more strictly locked down because of “terrorism” “scams” “fraud” or “criminial activity” that allows the authorities, worldwide, to control devices even more. Perhaps, computers could also face such lockdowns.

I mean, look at drones. One harmless crash on the US whitehouse lawn triggered a lot of laws restricting them, inclusing the infamous DJI Geo-locking. One terrorisr using encrypted messaging apps to coordinate would allow governments to control our communications even further. All locked bootloaders. Perhaps even locked BIOS/UEFIs. Imagine such a future.

The future looks bleak. It’s not even like 1984, the reality of dystopia is more subtle. People are being stalked by the government, while there are parties are happening all around, that is what dystopia looks like.

China turned QR codes red to restrict people’s movements on the pretenses of Covid. The US trump admin could do the same with QR code IDs to “prove you are a citizen” with checkpoints throughout the country.

(Sorry if it kinda got offtopic, but still kinda relevent)
