It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Yeah that’s the thing, I am more comfortable with Chinese backdoors.
Not in the sense of being a pro-Xi Tankie, which I basically am, but more in the sense that I don’t live in China or have any significant dealings with China. I don’t care if China spies on me.
In a world where I have to choose between Uncle Sam or Uncle Xi reading my emails, well, what’s uncle Xi gonna do to me?
To be fair I’m not that radical and Uncle Sam would find me at most list-worthy and probably not even that because I’m not that interesting but I am even less interesting to Xi, so given that choice I’d rather he’s got the keys you know what I mean?
Thank you for the write up though, upon reading my comment I wonder if I come across as argumentative and I want to stress that’s not my attitude, I appreciate your points a lot. You make good points especially about needing to blend in. I really do appreciate the effort post.
Nah you don’t sound argumentative, I probably sound argumentative.
It’s just crazy hearing people say “x is better for security”. Who’s security, what kind, under what circumstances, when and where?
Our approach to information security is very matrix when it needs to be more French connection.
