News are quite anxious, and I understand that we have to take her of ourselves by categorize it. However all political contents do not bring anxiety. I'm sorry but ignoring people struggling for their lives with tag system is making hell places for them, not safe place.

I don't see the point of that kind of contribution, and I must admit, I seems kind of suspicious to me

Understand what make our life shitty, and smashing the smallest and less protected object of those things. Tesla, ATM, Adds, …

You could organize too, but its take more time to take effect

Marxists and unionists

It's fun with this rhetoric, 'cause if you replace imperialism by capitalism, and country name with corporation name, we immediately see how confuse it is. "You can't say Shell is capitalist, it's not the global leader in the Petrolum Market. BT is"

We are talking about system. The Federation of Russia engaged in a competition against NATO, which result in wars and economic predation for power and ressources.

The same logic apply for Iran and China, but not on the same scale. A state is structured with the current international relationship; it need to gather power to secure its existence. Exactly like a corporation. North Korea is weak example of imperialism, not because it would be "socialist", but because it is losing the competition against other states.

That's why strong workers organisations where independent from states and political parties. And that's why we may mobilize first and mainly (but not only) against our one State imperialism, in order to not feeding this international competition.

And if you think that's their is no colonial history in Russia, you may think again. The Eastern conquest had some similarity with the western one in the USA.

For information, a strike is going one in the video game industry in france, including ubisoft : https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@STJV/113843503849511121

And inside france :

• Social Republic 1871, Paris, Marseille, Saint-Étienne, Narbonne, Toulouse, Perpignan, Creusot, Grenoble, Bordeaux and Nîmes l
• Bavarian Soviet Republic (1918), which included Alsace

We shall stop being anxious, and start to be outraged. Organize, fight back, even at small scale

People are self hosting their emails for themselves, their collective, or their relatives. This a solution to avoid regulations, and keep a low profile. Their is others solutions (such as, not using email, or encrypt email by yourself). You could keep saying that everybody should using VPN (which don't remove the issue, but move it elsewhere) or we could be less idealist and see what people are actually doing, and why.

All I see is Direct Action

Sooo what proton will do now if some fascist law ask proton to jail people, or worst ? Please stop to say they have no choice. They choose to make a public organization, and say it is safe. It's not. Being public, host data for people and activists, and respect imperialist law is not possible. This was a bad solution from the beginning.

You could say that they say so in their legal term. Nobody read them, and everybody still think proton is top notch on safety. We couldn't warn every activists that this just marketing. Their is no collective with enough people to be heard.

Maybe you think that Proton leaders try their best. That not the point. The point is that people are being repressed, and that being critical could diminish their numbers in the futur.

Proton AG do not depend of the European Union. It's a Switzerland company, that snitched ecelogist activist to french intelligence. Swiss is very conservative, with a lot of disdain for foreign workforce. I don't see any contradiction.

Yep, the uniform seems to be a thing. However, the experience of social struggle is a thing too In France, after the police making their job (using gaz and punching people in struggle), firefighters fight back. This append several time, and have impact on public opinion (and main media bougeoisie)

wait, shell could make matrix multiplication ?

"abusing civilians" is not the worst of the french army in Africa. Several civilians bombardment, letting genocide going, and sometimes helping. News on that topics are always too soft. Everybody know that imperialism is bad, but we underestimate by far bad it is.

Time for real hardware

I would have put OpenBSD in "focus on security". Or hell The only prebuild thing their is pain, pain and suffering

Brave is not a privacy focus browser.

In France, the left government of the "Front Populaire" was forced by the unions to pass social laws that was not on their program, including 40h works per week, the 8h/day and the first paid holidays. The struggle of this unionize include general strike, demonstration and riot, and was sometimes repressed by the State.

The 40h weeks where already done in Italy (until the rise of the fascism), thanks to the red week. Following the death of 3 people during a demonstration against war and colonization, an expropriator general strike was made in nothern Italy by local unions. Those strike do not stop every production, but focus on the needs of the workers. For example, foods was still collectid and dispatch, including by trains, but without trade; Malatesta try to warm workers to not accept the bourgeoisie gift, but to achieve the socialization of the society. Central unions accept, and betray the revolution. That may explain why the Operaism came from Italy. And why we -anarcho syndicalist- do not trust unions with hierarchy

There is some other exemple, of cours in Spain with the CNT (20 millions people living in aracho syndicalist situation), in Ukraine with the joining force of mutualized farmers and industrial unions, and the IWW

Unionize fellllloooooooows

That does not magically appears in Europe, but the victories thanks to strong unionism and revolutionary unionism. The same that was directly attacked by the US government in the 1920's
