From the government? Because he bought it.

From Tesla? Because he is the largest individual stockholder.

Why are the rich so stupid? Just pretend you care about human rights and your sales go up. It’s so simple. Why can’t they even put up the facade of being a normal person?

So here’s the thing.

My country is being taken over by fascists.

Economy is already fucked up before the fascists took control, now the economy is even worse. Cost of living is too high. Moving out is not an option. It’s either shitty toxic family, or some random strangers as roommates (I have no friends) in order to split the cost of rent, like it’s literally impossible afford to rent alone. People are getting fired all the time, any small issue with income would mean being homeless, and that would guarantee ending up snatched by the gestapo.

There is no choice.

I’m not sure if I have a legitimate concern. I have never attended a protest (too scared) and I never had any large online presence. I don’t even show my name or face on the internet. I don’t have any wikipedia pages.

So… maybe I’m just over-cautious… 🤷‍♂️

They took black mirror as an instruction manual… 😭

You’re probably not so important that they’d target you.

Not actively, of course. I’m talking about when the authorities one day want to retroactively dig through stuff to find dirt.

The threat would be that they do a targeted attack on my devices and monitor for 72 hours, recording everything happening in my device, before they apprehend me.

(Not that the lack of evidence would stop them from trying, but the less info they get, the better chance I have)

Mullvad and IPVN has too few servers, its very likely all their IPs would already have been flagged. ProtonVPN has like 10,000 servers. (The CEO Controversy aside, it’s OP’s best bet for an IP that isn’t banned) ProtonVPN also accepts Cash.

Not sure how an .onion address helps?

If you are using Tor, the admins wont know who you are anyways.

The nazis during WW2 were defeated with love and kindness 🤗

(lol no, we shot them to death)

Point out all the racism in various Western countries, and it pales in comparison to what goes on in China.

Only applies to “Liberal” cities. A conservative town in the US could potentially be worse than a Tier 1 City in China.

Depends…

I would say: Blue Jurisdiction in the US > Tier 1 City in China (Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai) > Red Jurisdiction in the US.

But then you also have to factor in the reach of the government. You can’t criticize the Central Government of China, likewise, nowadays, you cannot criticize the Federal Government of the US. (Also, don’t have tattoos, authoritarians hate it)

This you? 😁

(But this just an internet comment, ain’t that deep, Mr. Peele 😉)

Lol, didn’t even click the links, I kinda assumed it was Russia-Ukraine and just googled “countries that start with R”

Pls 100% world wide tax.

I like to go straight to the “Find Out” phase.

👀

(Remember, when the great depression happens, its our duty to eliminate nazis)

Wait what?

President Paul Kagame of Rwanda declared war on Uganda?

As someone have said, lemmy.world blocks VPNs.

But I’m curious, why are you sometimes using VPN, but other times exposing your real IP? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose, since your instance admins would still have your real IP, once you have accessed your account from your real IP, even once.

Either use VPN all the time, or just don’t bother. A half-assed approach doesn’t really do anything.

"I thought it was just a normal day. I mean, 4 years, how long could that be. Then one day, out of nowhere, I heard a bunch of helicopters hovering, and I heard sirens wailing. Just another day of police chases, I thought, nothing unusual. I went on my laptop and tried to watch a Youtube Video, but the browser says ‘Unable to connect’. I tried to use my phone’s hotspot, same thing. I tried to call a friend, but calls keep geting dropped, and even SMS says ‘undeliverable’. My phone says ‘Emergency Only’ instead of the carrier name. Oh well, I’m bored and there’s nothing to do, I guess I’ll just do my grocerry shopping early. I drive to the grocerry store and on the way there, I saw a bunch of soldiers with a roadblock thing and… it’s a checkpoint…

The next thing I saw on my phone was an emergency alert ‘Martial Law has been Declared Nationwide effective immediately…’"

Walter saw the white supremacists and went “nope”, “I might be a drug dealer, but I ain’t a dirty bigot”
