  • Honestly? It really doesn’t matter that much considering the western empire basically owns the root-level chain of trust for nearly the entire internet. This is only for superpower state-level attacks, so why bother building a quantum supercomputers to crack RSA or break D-H, when you already have access to the private keys from nearly all CAs on earth? Not to mention almost no one uses anything resembling a secure OS or web browser, which is the only thing keeping your private keys secure.

    Even if you’re shelling into a supersecret chinese personally-compiled openbsd VPS full of classified USDoD leaks, with your own personally managed 4096bit RSA keys with no other chain-of-trust to worry about, kicking down you door is going to be a hell of a lot cheaper and less complicated than building multi-trillion dollar gigantic secret underground quantum computers, that can, at best, break RSA in weeks instead of millennia. If that’s the case, then you better have strong disk encryption and nerves of steel. Ultimately breaking at-rest schemes and aes/(x)fish/serpent ciphers is more important.

    If 4096bit RSA is somehow broken in our lifetimes, we can probably replace it with ed25519 or something more complicated and the arms race continues.

    A large state breaking RSA is more-or-less a vanity project with regard to the implications.


  • No, sorry, that’s just marketing bullshit for honeypots. There are no cosmic deep magic herbs and spices here. Just open encryption standards. But… Mullvad is based in Sweden, which is a member of the EU, NATO and 14-Eyes, however, which automatically makes the country (and every capitalist enterprise in it) part of the largest US-controlled mass surveillance programs on earth. It’s capitalism renting you the illusion of privacy while also purposefully destroying it.




  • I sure hope Brown Hitler beats Orange Hitler.

    What a vibrant fucking democracy you amerikkkans sure have over there. Whatever meaningless, bootlicking bourgeois electoralism you choose, let’s hope you don’t get everyone else on earth killed as a result of your endless and unapologetic imperialism, invasions, coups, proxy wars and many genocides.

    Is it guilt that keeps you from reading your own history and understanding that all this mass murder that amerikkka has been inflicting on the world for hundreds of years is not driven by the individual incoherent puppets your political system forces you to choose from, but from the very nature of your capitalist empire? Fascism is the product of capitalism in crisis. It’s not a thing you can vote against, since you have absolutely no meaningful input in the decisions of the worlds most violent military empire (and you know it). What kind of political system creates a revolving door for endless marches of psychotic war criminals and even puts a few of them on the menu every few years? Obviously not a system that opposes fascism.




  • driving a black SUV […] Vem Miller, a 49-year-old resident of Las Vegas, Nevada […] possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine […] license plate was “one that is homemade and indicative of a group of individuals that claim to be sovereign citizens,” […] Miller’s car—the interior was in “disarray,” […] “multiple” fake passports and fake drivers’ licenses […] Miller claimed to be a journalist with VIP access to the rally […] Miller’s car wasn’t registered […] “It actually did belong to him, it just was not ever registered.” […] possession of several unregistered firearms, including a shotgun and a loaded handgun, as well as a high caliber magazine (no accompanying rifle?) […] Miller is also a registered Republican […] "He was a lunatic.” […] released on his own recognizance.

    Dude sounds pretty normal for Nevada or Texas

    “The U.S. Secret Service assesses that the incident did not impact protective operations and former President Trump was not in any danger,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. “While no federal arrest has been made at this time, the investigation is ongoing.”

    “We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Bianco told the Southern California News Group Sunday afternoon.

    😂



  • I understand that after WWII the CIA took control of the Banderites as a terrorist force to use against the Soviet civilians and armed forces; how NATO was cobbled together from the Nazi diaspora; how Canada imported Banderites to gut labor organization and all that. There’s probably a lot more awful stuff I don’t know, too.

    So yeah, in the larger picture. But I was mainly referring to the time since the Maidan coup (which, of course, even then goes directly back to the previous color revolution…)


  • If this kind of messaging is not some semblance of regret, then what else might it be?

    My other take is that it might be a pretext for a western invasion of Ukraine under the guise of “stopping the far-right and restoring democracy”, which, of course, would just be an excuse for the US to block an end to the conflict and create a new tripwire for nuclear war. The Kiev regime would probably also be relieved to get an easy out like that. Given how depraved and psychotic the US and NATO are it wouldn’t surprise me. In which case, I hope they’re just showing a little regret.


  • The starting point for the Marxian analysis centers on the existing dominant forces of monopolistic industrial capitalism. Therefore socialist revolution still must move through capitalism by process of subordinating the ruling class to a proletarian state. As Cowbee pointed out, fascism is not a state absent capitalism, but rather mode of capitalism itself. Because of the inherent contradictions, we assume that any capitalist system already produces various quantities of fascism as a mechanism for maintaining superiority of the owner class.
