  • Even before I looked more into the wider alt media network he is a part of, Prysner always made it clear what is at stake is shedding precious American blood on Iraqi soil. This never sat well with me. It is nakedly opportunistic social libertarianism. Did you know he was an interrogator? Not the only former interrogator to become a leftist superstar.

    John Kiriakou lied about being present at the torture of Abu Zubaydah in order to frame his “torture-based information is too low-quality for the noble CIA” (missing its many many other uses) narrative. Kiriakou did actually torture people of course. If you line up his service record he worked at places where it happened all the time.

    Strange bedfellows? No not really. More on this later.










  • i breathe more hash oil than air

    Fucking act like it then and calm down, I was just saying to the other guy, the issue is having to be online in order to connect contacts. That is a serious issue outside of people you’re already tight with, think abt how flaky people are even in important situations.

    Besides, what makes XMPP perfect to me is that the ecosystem is mature, it will be around forever, it has a service I can use to access Canadian and US cell networks while abroad. It has an encrypted facebook style social media site in rapid development that any XMPP acct can login to so they don’t need to make a new account, that by design NEVER HAS THOSE ASSHOLES ON IT

    Hopefully Webxdc on XMPP takes off more it’s currently only on Cheogram Android app and Delta Chat droid/pc. You can make collaborative editors and games n stuff if I guess you want encrypted tuxcart (someday)

    I mean to set up the chat in the first place you gotta both be online. I think OMEMO is good idc if its quantum safe ill check later. Good tonmention ty, but if the government wants me bad enough to use quantum shit they’re just gonna go thru my device itself. Yeah I know abt post processing it all after stashing it. The american govt is gonna collapse first anyways #whocare #theytouchedthemoney #theytouchedthemoneyanditgotquiet



  • Look everyone I know smokes weed it’s really bad. More like a turn your brain on situation. You know how bad that is for your sleep architecture™ over a period of 4-5 years? It’s a wonder they can even remember what I said, but telling them to do something at a certain time? I’d be uncloseted as an authoritarian. The only way I even get people to use these apps is Appeal to Paranoia.


  • Not Marxist. If you guys want I can give you a list of like every alt media outlet and you’ll see how small a world it really is, and how close to anticommunist bastards like Chris Hedges.

    I read them too but it’s Propublica/Truthout type reporting but antizionist. Like Mondoweiss. Antizionist in a way slightly less offensive than, say, 972 mag telling us Al-Aqsa was all part of Israel’s master plan, but strictly unrevolutionary consciousness-raising exercises for the great cause of Western nonviolence (groovy)

    They state the obvious. “America is hypocritical”, “the NYT headlines are insultingly stupid” and they state it every day. How many times are we going to be satisfied with this introductory material




  • You misunderstood, I was saying that the ACP is just like the other orgs I mentioned. These orgs see themselves as the polar opposite of the ACP, but they have very similar politics that coddle the labor aristocracy in the US. (Go read The People’s Republic of Walmart and tell me the DSA didn’t lay the foundation for ACP shitposting lol.) These are the distinctions I made.

    • right wing culture war nonsense (EDIT: TO BE SUPER SUPER CLEAR THIS IS THE HATING GAY PEOPLE PART)

    • obsession with the petit boug over ludicrously-compensated office workers (both are your class enemies)

    • different network of alt media funding that intersects with many of the same people despite having separate ideological aims

    There are infinite quirks, there are infinite ideological flip flops we can point to on either side to try to create more distinctions. I highlight structural similarities because the ideology of fascism shifts constantly. Just take a look at Mussolini’s leftoidism



  • Your eyes have a sort of epidermal layer that can be damaged by all sorts of things. Viruses, dust, poor health, poor sleep. Compound that with eye strain and you have two potent but variable illnesses. Stay hydrated, eat plenty of protein, and hike frequently where your eyes will focus on distant objects.

    Or maybe you are describing a schizophrenia thing, kundalini awakening, or something else I don’t have any experience with
