You’re not thinking nearly dystopian enough. Want to play a game? Need a cloud gaming subscription. Want to send an email? Add Gmail to your Google subscription for $5.99 a month. Want enough speed to stream higher than 720p video? Gotta pay your ISP for the bandwidth and YouTube (Google again!) for the access. You will rent everything from the system.

Probably shouldn’t make slop then, huh?

If you’re at a protest and notice you only have 3G coverage for some reason, you’re connected to a fake cell tower.

If you absolutely must have a phone at a protest, use a burner you bought with cash. Otherwise, look into meshtastic devices.

Danish troops are instructed to fire on invading US forces without asking for orders first.

Somehow, I think they’re taking him seriously.

The meshtastic network only has a max data throughput of 28.8kbps. If you’re looking to do something more than text, you’re looking in the wrong place.

In my case, decentralized communications that are vastly more disaster and conflict proof than internet and cell is exactly what I’m looking for.

Let me introduce you to black powder. Protecting your rights since we kicked it all off on April 19, 1775.

Plus, nowadays you can get a drop-in conversion cylinder to go from powder to modern cartridges without an FFL.

It’s in their interest to make exercising your rights difficult. Don’t let them.

First device Benn goes into in this video is how to build a repeater from a cheap Home Depot solar light, but you can easily scale up with a larger solar panel / bigger battery for a repeater you’re going to stick up on a hill somewhere or something.

In the last week or so, I’ve really kicked my goal of getting solar powered mesh repeaters placed around my town / local area into high gear.

I don’t think we can wait any longer.

That’s exactly how JD Vance would phrase it.

It wasn’t supposed to be an argument. It was supposed to be an insult.

If the taste of boot wax gets to be too overpowering, I hear buckshot makes a good mouthwash.

I hear ya. All of a sudden projects that have been “some day” turned into “right the hell now”.

Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me. The front left tire / left bumper have passed him when he fires the first shot.

Not to mention he has been trained that he is not to shoot at moving vehicles if the driver is not presenting another potential form of deadly force.

No matter how you spin it, he broke the law.

liiiiiiiiick

“Thank you, Mein Führer! This new wax polish is tasty!”

Regions will be walled off by censorship / content laws, freely accessible information will be a thing of the past, you’ll have to pay a subscription for anything you want to do, and you will own nothing.

Just as the Founding Fathers intended.

Of course it will. Or it will be quietly changed and this version will be branded AI, woke lies, or whatever else the administration can think of.

But the internet never forgets. Their immunity ends when the regime falls.

Renee Good was without medical care for at least 10 minutes, and eyewitness reports state that ICE vehicles blocked EMS and responders were forced to approach the scene on foot.

Time for all those 2A, Castle Doctrine, “tally-ho lads!” types to start defending their homes, right?

…right?

Yeah, I like to think they just happened to be in the same studio or something

I’ve had an insane theory since this came out that the final two lines / scream are sung by Matt Barlow of Iced Earth.

They don’t sound anything like the vocals on the rest of the song (processed differently / different resonance, reverb, etc), and sound just like Matt, who’s singing with Iced Earth was at god-tier in the power metal world at the time.
