Yeah just like they arrested Netanyahu!

…oh wait.

Oh I agree totally. I’m just wondering if this legal structure could be hijacked to build a leftist city state instead though. The independence from the existing state could be very helpful, if you can get them to let you make one.

Could these be hijacked to create autonomous leftist city states? I’d be down for that but I’m not sure the fascists will just let it happen.

Spying is a bit different from being compelled to share data though. Probably everyone is vulnerable to secret surveillance, I’m not sure how to mitigate against that. But the information from such efforts will be more limited.

True… I guess I’m not too knowledgeable about the situation in Australia. How would the US approach them and what legal avenues for resistance exist?

They’re not a fascist government but they also don’t seem to have the same free speech protections the US does. Not that that has helped us much,

All the more reason to be on a non-US based server right now.

Worth noting that a lot of their subpoenas are BS though and could be fought successfully. Big tech is too scared to do even minor things to protect their users because the regime will retaliate in other ways that could cost them money. Small hobby servers don’t have the same avenue of attack, although they might be more vulnerable in other ways.

I often wonder if DHS is aware of the threadiverse. I would assume so but who knows? At least I don’t think our admins would cooperate with them for the most part.

I’m ready to try anything at this point.

These aren’t real subpoenas. They’re just paperwork filled out by DHS to justify their own violence and authority. They’re totally illegitimate and they just call them subpoena’s in a (mostly successful) attempt to fabricate legal authority from thin air.

It’s almost like there’s almost zero non-citizens voting or something…

Not that there’s even a need to prevent them from voting.
