Anyone who can look at a human being and say “this is what your just do no matter what because of what parts you have and nothing else” doesn’t see others as full people.

Yeah no shit.
> say they reject civilisation
> Ignore the resistance movements and organisations actively fighting Taliban rule
> Ignore the independent media organisations being crushed by the Taliban for speaking out against the Taliban
> Ignore the people fleeing Afghanistan every day because of the Taliban.

Yes, clearly the Afghani people are savages who cannot be redeemed. There’s no external factors for the clusterfuck that is the Taliban. Anyone who says otherwise is a liberal hippy. /s
You’d also not be able to own guns, or have freedom or religion or speech. Look up the meaning of Amendment why don’t you.
Breaking community and individualism is kinda a big thing billionaires want because that way people can’t organise to rise up against them.
If History is anything to go by, poor people threatening the rich.
Oh there’s several ways, especially if you have poor opsec. People used to raid people’s twitch accounts and bring down their internet connections by looking for their username on Skype which had a vulnerability which they could use to find a person’s IP.
For swatters on the otherhand, they tend to either know the streamer themselves or they tend to be groups like KiwiFarms who are a lot more organised and do a lot of research and detective work, like looking at the video, looking for usernames elsewhere, looking for emails, and looking for location clues. It’s really fucked up. They found Keffels’s Motel by the sheets in her room. It’s bad enough if you do not think about these things and just have sloppy OpSec, but even if you do, they can still find you.
A lot more regularly that they do in the rest of the UK.
So (not so) fun fact: Keffals, who was targeted by KiwiFarms for being trans (yes that’s all) and got Swatted. She then went to stay with another streamer (EllenFromNowOn) in Northern Ireland. Just for information sake, Northern Ireland is still a bit rocky security wise, Police there still carry guns on the regular. So when she went there, Ellen called up the police and explained the situation to them (they had never heard of Swatting weirdly enough).
Sure enough, someone found her flat, posted her address (with a message referencing a Unionist Slogan, Ellen was from the Catholic Community), and sure enough, the police came. Instead of raiding her all guns blasing (which they normally would) they saw the warning, knocked on the door, saw nothing was wrong, called off the squaddies, and came in to basically make sure everything was okay.
Bare in mind, this was in Northern Ireland, a place where the Police still drive Armored cars and have regular riots, and they handled this better than the Police in London, Ontario.
They’re using child safety as an excuse to pass this bill, which is funny because criminals don’t tend to care about the law and thus will just move to (now illegal) encrypted services.
It’s doubly interesting because Boris Johnson (the former prime minister and head of the party who came up with this bullshit) is literally hiding behind the fact he can’t find the passcode for his encrypted WhatsApp messages to stop the COVID enquiry seeing evidence he has in regards to how COVID was handled, and members of his party, who proposed this bill, are saying it’s an attack on democracy that he hands over these encrypted messages.
In short, the government is coming for YOUR encryption but they’ll keep using it to keep info they don’t want you to know, thank you very much!
Modern Pop country can go to hell. Want to listen to country, go look up Bluegrass or Folk Punk.
You can tell Russia’s desperate because they’ve got the North Koreans involved.
