Session is not that good. SimpleX is a much better alternative. Session got rid of forward secrecy, meaning that if one of your keys is intercepted, any new messages going forwards will be encrypted but your old ones are able to be decrypted. Signal has forward secrecy, as does SimpleX.

SimpleX I would say is really the best tool for organizing and activism because you use a random identity for the protocol instead of a username and phone number like Signal, and each time you enter a new group or chat, you can create a new identity with no ties to your last one. Also Simplex runs all traffic through Tor and LokiNet (a modified version of the Onion protocol meant to be faster and able to process more bandwidth for things like voice calls). Session also routes everything through Tor but again, it lacks what SimpleX has. And Simplex also has the additional privacy over Signal.

Signal is a great interpersonal chat app, and when functioning as an SMS/RCS/Phonecall alternative it is a great app. Never going to say don’t use Signal, it is simple enough for most people switching from normal text to use, and much much more secure. But definitely check out SimpleX as well!

She 100% would no question. The Zionists made an agreement with the 3rd Reich towards the beginning and even after the Holocaust, they saw survivors as weak and disgusting.

To this day the leaders of the Zionist movement pretend that they care about Holocaust survivors and that they’re not just milking Jewish trauma and fear for reprehensible ideology.

How does a system that requires a stateless society appeal to hierarchists like tankies?

No. That logical fallacy is completely misunderstood and posted everywhere. It only occurs when you continue to shift the goalposts. If someone makes a claim and defends it continuously, then the fallacy does not occur.

“No true Scotsman or appeal to purity is an informal fallacy in which one modifies a prior claim in response to a counterexample by asserting the counterexample is excluded by definition.[1][2][3] Rather than admitting error or providing evidence to disprove the counterexample, the original claim is changed by using a non-substantive modifier such as “true”, “pure”, “genuine”, “authentic”, “real”, or other similar terms.[4][2]”

Shut down discourse! That’ll show them!

Maybe the problem isn’t the technology in this case but a system that promotes consolidation of power and money as its top and only priority.

Idpol in a nutshell

No you’re not too cynical. You’re paying attention

Yeah the top 10% in the US account for 55% of market activity. There’s no way boycotts and divesting are as impactful as they used to be. Thankfully there are many other methods of throwing down the system, but they have to be used together. A general strike by itself will not accomplish much, but that combined with community militias and fierce mutual aid networks caring for neighbors, has a higher chance. Combined with mass noncompliance and subterfuge in multiple layers, we might be able to win this without a full hot civil war. But we’ll see.

100% they’re trafficking kids and selling them

And the UK and Canada. Maybe not as bad as Brazil, but the NHS is Britain is being eroded every single day.

This is why even the best welfare states are not good enough. The greed of the rich and the bendy spines of politicians will slowly chip away at the systems and privatize them.

Get a gun for self defense and go to the range at least once a month. Organize community watches and mutual aid networks with your neighbors. Start creating relationships which pull away from the central supply chain, form community networks to supply needs and services locally and mutually: tool library, seed library, multiple large community gardens (no I’m not naive enough to think this will replace a grocery store), and any other services that are needed.

If you have the means, buy another gun, preferably a rifle or shotgun. Train with that. Start encouraging others in your community to arm themselves for self defense. Form a well organized militia.

Distribute organizing to others so you don’t burn out. Help others start their journey of community action. Then they start book clubs to read theory and praxis, then they can teach foraging techniques. Eventually, others in your community are learning skills which you didn’t have time for or didn’t interest you. That’s the point of community, not everyone has to be good at everything. Now you have people who can set up a local intranet with copper wires and servers to maintain crucial information offline, in case the internet goes down or is shut off by the government. You have those who can knit faster than you’ve ever seen and are providing socks and hats for everyone.

The Utopian and end goal of all this is to form resilient and thriving communities not dependent on the state and corporations for their needs. And yes, that would take a long time to get there. But for me, my admittedly Herculean dream is eventually those community gardens would become vertical farms and inspire other communities to practice the same. The construction crews in your area would become coops and with their needs provided would slowly start doing community projects, that the doctors and teachers would separate themselves from the state apparatus and serve their neighbors in mutual methods, bringing their passion and skills into the community.

But even if we don’t get to that end stage, or if that doesn’t appeal to you, mutual aid is still wonderful and any bit of it is beneficial and forms networks of trust. I’m not saying don’t vote, but know that the state and powerful are counting on you to place your trust in that one action and nothing else. Don’t give them that satisfaction.

*betrayed by the USSR and then taken over by fascists

France and England have enough to be a deterrent. I think around 500 between the two of them. And France has like 200 on active deployment, I think because of Russia.

Chuck Schummer had already basically bent over for them multiple times.

For people who have grown up under fundamentalist religion or abusive families, this definition of shame is very narrow. Often times, shame isn’t a vice that you hold onto for an excuse, it’s something that you were told you should feel for so long.

I don’t feel shame for being bisexual anymore or for thinking “filthy” and “sinful” thoughts but for years and years I did.

I know this is not related to the previous thread but I just wanted to point out that shame can sometimes be something placed on us, even if we don’t want to believe it.

They’re replacing us. Until now, corporations have obviously marketed to the working class, even the poorest of us. And they put in that effort, but now they’re moving past us bottom 90% of consumers and focusing on the top 10% and of course the ultra rich specifically. The top 10% of consumers already accounted for 55% of all buying power in Feb 2025, before tariffs, before the unnamed recession we’re in now, before the shutdown and mass firings.

So now you can imagine what that number is at, and you can see their thought process. It’s just not worth bothering to market and sell to us commoners.

Now, I think they’re stupid and I think they’re way too confident in something like the AI bubble, which will pop eventually. That being said, most new purchases (cars, clothes, electronics, ect…) are by the top 10%. They are gunning for our buying power and they are gunning for our labor power with AI. If they succeed, we will lose our two biggest bargaining chips. The ultra rich know this, and they hate that we have had any say over the economy.

If we’re gonna do this general strike, we gotta do it soon, because they are actively working to make action like that impossible.
