        its gone beyond protesting, protesting is active, Im not so sure about China, but Russia is so far gone in it’s forever war mentality that its gone straight into thoughtcrime now.

    Mentioning climate change. Seems every government is backtracking on it.

    If right-wing nutjobs keep running the government I am going to say “birth control” and “sodomy” are on the chopping block. Hopefully by 50 years this won’t still be the issue but its what they want now. Just to note that the old “sodomy” laws made everything that wasn’t PIV illegal. So if you like oral sex that will be illegal now. Sorry everyone no more fun

    Private ownership.
    Why would you even want this, when you can book it as a service without all the hassles and this highly criminal “privacy”. What are you? A drug dealer? A pedophile? Both?

      It still sounds so insane. Imagine it being illegal for us two to share some public keys. It’s like banning fundamental maths

      Well okay then, use steganography.

      Secure Space Encryptor (https://paranoiaworks.mobi/) is one that I know and they have source code published, although I personally don’t understand coding so I can’t guarantee how secure it is, but its been out for like a decade and I haven’t heard anything bad about it, and its on F-Droid.

      They won’t know you are secretly sending an encoded “ATTACK AT DAWN” message hidden inside the cute cat photo. (I mean unless they just shut down the entire communications infrastructure and even ban mailing stuff, which is unfeasible because of the economy)

        They’ll use ai to do pattern matches on available data to assassinate leaders of dissent or those capable of organizing resistance. Knowledge of encryption is uncommon enough of a population to be an acceptable cost.

          In Germany it‘s similar. You are required to have an ID with you. It’s not strictly illegal though to not have it on you but if you happen to have business with police (be it an accident, random traffic stop or you having part in illegal activities), when you don’t have it on you, they can make you come to the police station with them to confirm your identity, even if they wouldn’t otherwise.

              The cops will still take you with them to the station when you don’t have an ID to show if they ask for it. You are by law required to identify yourself with a physical ID.

              So yes, while it’s not illegal to not carry your ID on you, it’s still to your own detriment if you cannot produce it.

          Not exactly, there are some requirements but if they’re met (you commit an offense, or in high suspicion, e-bike controls), and you can’t show ID it’s a fine

          But essentially yes

        I always had some sympathy with them. It just seems like they want off this awful capitalistic treadmill we find ourselves on. Everyone always laughs and belittles them, but I’m always rooting for em just a lil bit

          Are they anti-capitalist or anti-government? Maybe some are both, but it seems like many of these types are probably capitalist and don’t want the government to get in the way of corporations screwing people.

            I doubt they would be able to articulate the difference between ant capitalist vs government. They’re just giant whiny man babies.

          SovCits are not noble campaigners fighting against injustice. They are idiots deluded enough to think they’ve found the cheat code to the legal system by spouting the right string of nonsense.

            They’re desperate and aware there’s something wrong with the system they’re in, without having the education or experience to realize that the people running it don’t actually care about the rules.

          If they went and lived in some remote mountain village or something I wouldn’t mind.

          But they claim all of this while driving without a licence or insurance. Would you be as sympathetic to their cause if they hit your car and cause serious damage?

          I sort of understand their point but they’ve also been unimaginably selfish and entitled and that’s the part I can’t get behind. Also every single one of them is, without fail, an utter moron.

    Civillian use of Drones.

    I’m very certain there’s gonna be a 9/11-like terrorist attack involving drones and then governments all around the world are gonna get extremely paranoid and just ban it unless you get a special permit that only big corporations can get.

        Private equity figured out that the 2008 panic happened because people were defaulting on mortgages. So they just went straight into the housing market as landlords. They’ll eventually lobby congress to make it illegal for the poor to own housing
