A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacist websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.
This is where I am at where MAGA is concerned. It would be a crimson lining to a 2nd American Civil War, where I and others can free our society of Nazi kindred for good. IMO, the 1% of America are very likely to sympathize with the Confederates, because they believe that slavery of the poors is the natural state of things.
The problem is how do you find them all? You never will since some of them are smart enough not to advertise how vile they are. And as long as a few of them still exist they’ll multiply and spread their shitty philosophy.
An anonymous internet allows Nazis to connect with each other without fear of social or legal consequences, thereby raising their confidence in/dedication to their ideology.
It’s certainly not on a par, but the same thing happens with weird kinks- I have one I probably would have forgotten about if it weren’t something that I then found online. Instead, because I saw that it wasn’t just me, I had the confidence to tell partners about it. And it was only because I found queer online communities that I was able to explore my gender identity and sexuality in the same way.
I absolutely support an open and anonymous internet, I just don’t know if there’s a way to stamp out bigotry and fascism while having one.
Or rather, I know how to do it, I just don’t know if we can. The answer is absolute solidarity among non bigots against anonymous bigots: cancel your contracts with platforms that host fascists or bigots, tell them and everyone else why, and get others to do the same.
Of course, at this point there are enough of them to have their own economy, so it’s not going to work now. This is more like the wound care to prevent a recurrence of the infection, instead of the infection treatment itself.
In the early 90s, my grandfather assured me that he fought and killed nazis, so that my generation would never have to deal with them.
He didn’t say he cancelled the nazis. The word he used was “Exterminated”.
Maybe we should all do that again. Exterminate the nazis. Because quite frankly, this government is lousey with them.
Nazis weren’t exterminated, the US government hired quite a few (and that’s not counting the ones who went on vacation to Brazil in 1945)
Maybe we should do it right this time.
The biggest sin of the American government was failing to hang every single confederate sympathizer. The problems only cascade from there.
