Yea this is the crux of the whole fucking situation. And the paramilitaries are filled with shitty cops... as I just read in a recent mole dump.

How did they not see this coming and have something in place? Not to victim blame. I'm just like, if you are in a position of leadership in yor nation's security how did you not strategize this scenario coming up? Either way, please isolate us (the US). We fucking deserve to lose leverage.

I went to Beijing and noticed young people in the stores and coffee shops who worked there sometimes would put red armbands when they saw me. It felt creepy. It's a shame their culture has been so shaped by authoritarianism. (Obviously it's not just China that has this issue, btw). Ultimately the majority of the people I met were absolutely lovely. Truly terrifying experience Junjie had. Poor kid. Definitely can see that shit happening there, though.

I quit journalism as a profession for the same reason.

 

A) "Reporting Highlights

A Freelance Vigilante: A wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover, climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell his family or friends. The Future of Militias: He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors and government attorneys. Experts say that militias could have a renaissance under Donald Trump. A Secret Trove: He sent ProPublica a massive trove of documents. The conversations that he secretly recorded give a unique, startling window into the militia movement."

B) There's also an audio version of the article for those who need vision asst or time asst.

C) The reason I shared this was William's record dump was just shared on ddosecrets this month - https://ddosecrets.com/article/paramilitary-leaks

I'm leaving Meta fully this year. I think that platform is in for a rude awakening.

Lol I uhh... when I was a teenager I was taking them a lot. One fine night I was admiring the full moon from a park by my house and then it popped into my head that the full beautiful bright moon might also be a meteor coming in for the kill. Worst trip ever, lol. I haven't done a full dose since. That being said, I did micro dose on a chill countryside trip to Colombia and that was ok.
