I don't get what you're saying. Who burned down what house? What is "the oligarchy" supposed to mean? I don't see any Parler links anywhere and I thought the platform shut down anyways? I found some older posts of his in Wired and Slate. If he's a right winger, please show me what's right wing but don't come at me with some ramblings of spreading right wing propaganda.

The US is headed to shit and they're obviously tightening the noose in terms of wanting to do away with privacy and with Tor being basically the only widespread anti-censorship network with decent UX we all must be aware that this is a gift that can easily be subverted and taken away. Sure we can fork it, but you need some decent cryptographers to ensure it remains secure and these people don't grow on trees.

I don't think the author is telling anyone not to use Tor but to keep in mind that it'll probably only last as long as it works in the US' favor of enabling color revolutions in "evil countries"

Responses like yours really worry me about the political discourse.

And not a single useful change of copyright laws will happen, because the entire system is crooked and the Internet has shown how it benefits only the very few big players who profit off of it.

safety, freedom and human empowerment

I hear NATO, I think of this!

Yes, because you can still cherry pick results, studies, sources and skew data.

Google his name and he's basically writing the same stuff for more than a year:

He's been all over the highly divisive topics that generate clicks right now without providing any deep insights.

Nigerians don't seem very happy with all that "costly help supplied by French democracy". If history is any indicator, that deal wasn't something beneficial for all parties involved.

If even Italian right wingers can call you out on your neo-colonialist shit you're either bad at PR or you're actually still a colonizer.

I don't know. I dislike Musk as much as anyone but this NGO isn't transparent about their funding and the people involved are way too involved in shitty UK think tanks and politics to not consider them as part of a campaign to reign in on actual free speech in the name of "protecting people from harm".

Stuff like that should be grass roots and not a "yeah we're funded by private philanthropist institutions but we don't disclosure which ones" op.

Nothing about these people feels legit.

It shouldn't, but I don't see how to prevent something like that? Lone wolf, used legal material, didn't arouse much suspicion. (It's been a few years since I dove deeper into it though.)

Lots of videos of pro-coup/military protests on the streets.

Even if the West intervenes, Africa is growing stronger and less dependent. Multi polarity can't be stopped anymore.
