Feedback I just want to talk

[mindlessobserver]

I just want to talk about things that interest me. I want to talk about geo politics, politics in general, US law, funny legal cases, and I want to do it in a setting where some feral imbecile with moderating power will not IP range ban me for no discernable reason. I want to do it in a setting where everyone knows who is saying what while still preserving some modicum of anonymity. Where Everyone knows the "Characters" of the debate, but also knows there is a wall of fire between the real life person and the persona.

I want the forums of my childhood. I want what has been scoured by hook, crook, and force from the internet. I want what I had for my children.

I am here not because I hate Transgendered people. I honestly don't give a shit if someone wants to cut their balls off. You do you. Bro. I am not here because I hate minorities. In actuality my real life work puts me in repeated contact with people of socio-economic means, and the common thread that emerges is me and them hate the exact same people for the exact same reasons. Reasons and people redacted.

All I want is a place where I can engage, and talk, and not have to worry about cancellation, getting fired, or having my random musings rehashed in a board room as part of a struggle session. The Kiwi Farms is one of the last places left that allows for this sort of thing, and it infuriates me to no end how belligerently it is being attacked. I just want to talk and every DDoS attack, every time its forced to migrate, its like my own tongue is being cut out.

When all records come to account, let this be one them. I do not hate people for what they are. But I do hate the people attempting to cut my tongue. I hate them as individuals, and I hate them for what they are. If their goal is to lessen the amount of hate in the world, they have failed.

Is this the heron of the water buffalo talking?

Is this the heron of the water buffalo talking?

Of course. Nobody knows you aren't a bird if you chat on the internet. This bird just spent the past hour getting through loading screens in order to argue about Azerbaijan invading Armenia.

Completely unrelated to whatever "cause" the current DDOS attack is "fighting" over. In point of fact if this bird and the "person" launching the DDoS attack were put in the same room, I think I would comfortably perch on their head just as well as my current water buffalo friend.

But alas, they attack me as much as they do everyone else.

After spending so much time making my points in a thread about an international crisis, and being forced to jump through hoops, mitigation and wat not, I came to a realization. It does not matter if I don't care about the people supposedly at war with the farms. They clearly care about me, and clearly want to rope my ambivalent ass into whatever fight they feel is necessary here.

I don't think I have ever felt as mad as I do now. I literally just wanted to talk about Armenia and Azerbaijan. Why the fuck should fucking ass holes in California give one solitary shit about my opinions about that? But for some reason they did, and they did everything they could to silence me. What really pisses me off though is I know they feel silencing me is acceptable collateral damage because I chose to speak on a forum they have determined to be forbidden. Unilaterally. Without any legal basis.

Of course you do. The rest of the internet has gentrified and turned into a corporate cesspit. Everywhere you look, automatic content moderation, "trust and safety" team retards, and long lists of rules and policies predominate. The internet has been completely restructured around not hurting people's feefees, due to the centralization of discussion in just a few over-moderated social media sites and content aggregators full of cocksucking normies. The corporations behind all of this are actively trying to create a curated environment, to move some topics of discussion outside the Overton Window, and to control discourse online and keep it within a narrow range of accepted views.

Throughout the 00s, all the independent media guys, blogs, whistleblowers, FOIA watchdogs, and muckrakers scared the shit out of the government-corporate-media mind control complex, because for the first time in decades, people were throwing off the yoke of propaganda and brainwashing and freeing themselves from their programming. Rich and powerful people feel deeply threatened by your free speech, to the extent of characterizing it as a weapon of war.

Spoiler: Videos

There shouldn't just be one Kiwi Farms. There should be hundreds of them. The ability to freely speak your mind on any topic online free of censorship should be the norm everywhere. Instead, what we have is armies of self-important net nannies everywhere, curating content and reaching out and pinching your lips shut if they don't like what you're saying. Behind those net nannies, an army of literal glownigger intelligence community goons have sprung up, eager to shape narratives to fit their shady geopolitical objectives while casting anything that opposes them as mis-, dis-, and malinformation.

What're you yammering about? Being on this forum at all marks you in the eyes of those who hate it. Just enjoy the off-topic section of the site and be careful about letting PI slip.

There still is parts of the internet that aren't seemingly run by SJWs, but they seem rare and hard to find. Like I mentioned before, there's wiby for finding old stuff. Also on YT, you can type in "before:2012" in a search to bring up vids from before 2012.

But seeing how SJWs are trying to get the world before Current Year "cancelled", who knows how long old stuff will stay up online?

I have the grave and terminal misfortune to be Br*tish. Yesterday our parliament passed legislation that requires content providers (not just big tech, but 20,000 estimated platforms) to pre-emptively scan posts before they are sent for wrongthink, to demand messaging services provide backdoors to the state, requiring ID checks for adult websites and much more. I'm now a political dissident just for wanting to express my milquetoast libertarian opinions and dark sense of humour. I never wanted to be a rebel, I've just been manoeuvred into being one despite not changing my views substantially for 20 years.

I'm not technically breaking any laws (yet) by posting here, but you all know that the law doesn't matter any more to The Cathedral. We have an offence in the UK for "possessing material likely to be useful to terrorists" that is used to jail anyone the government doesn't like - a bus timetable is "likely to be useful to terrorists" and people have already been jailed for multiple years just for possessing a single book. In fact if I want to express any opinions at all without the government reading my messages I have to VPN out of the UK at the very least, I may have to use Tor in future just to be able to speak. I'm extremely grateful to Null for the fight he has put up on behalf of those who want to shitpost.

This isn't supposed to be a site for politics, and Null tried for a long time to make sure it wasn't, but sadly the politics came to him instead. We're all forced to be involved in this shit just to preserve our basic rights and freedoms, let alone to make fun of idiots on the internet, which is all I wanted to fucking do when I arrived here 6 years ago to laugh at Shmorky. And now here we are on the Internet's very own Ruby Ridge. It's really fucking sad, and yeah it makes me MATI, and if it doesn't make you MATI too you've not been paying attention.

Null I know you hate my guts and that's fine. I'm still on your side.

 

[Coelacanth]

It was all over as soon as the other Kiwis tried getting Null to pass on info so they can "take care" of citizens who saw the Christchurch shooting video. After that, any way to spin the narrative that the Farms needs to be nuked was welcome. The governments don't fuck around with this sort of stuff.

@Spunt and anybody else reading this: frontends are your friend. That's what I'm currently doing to bypass shit like Youtube demanding I give them my passport so I can watch a video of a guy saying a naughty word about troons. I'm probably going to change operating system very soon as well, which will be tedious but for the best. Keep to small, private chat groups. The best thing you can do is to make yourself as invisible as possible to an autistic degree because we're in a day and age where it's legitimately warranted now.

 

[Procrastinhater]

I feel you. The attempted censorship just because a bunch of perverts don't like having the ridiculous shit they say laughed at or dont agree with some content here is what made me hate them.

Spoiler: Thought Policing in the 21st Century

I never used to give a fuck about trannies till last year. I mean I always thought they were gross and weird thats why I stopped going on Something Awful when it got infested.
Now I'd spit on one as I drove past, if I ever saw any, which I don't thank Christ. At least not yet

I'm a pretty live and let live guy myself but these fuckers have followed me across half the Internet. SA, the SCP, 4Chan got shit so I went to 8Chan, then Tarrant killed it by streaming on Facebook. Now they're trying to fuck with this place and it's been my favorite place on the Internet for years even before I bothered joining and it's the last place on the Internet I can talk how I talk IRL, (maybe I do say "faggot" and "nigger" and "fuck" too much) about the shit I want to talk about without having my words deleted and my voice silenced.
I get up at 5am and spend 10-12 hrs a day at work, this place keeps me sane and I hate that people are trying to destroy it, claiming "harrassment" when all they have to do to not be "harrassed" is not come here and read their threads.
And they think they are the good guys, based off of made up bullshit like the "suicide" of a guy who is still alive and has a cellphone contract, a party girl who was abused by her boyfriend, and someone who immolated themself to protest homelessness and, ironically since her death has been hijacked "for the cause," not being listened to.

If they left us alone I'd be happy to ignore them.
The great thing about this Forum to me is the amount of different subjects. Think of anything chances are there's a thread where people are talking about it, or if there isn't make one. It truly is a fragment of the old Internet before it got infested by woke jokes and Corporate scum and sanitized, purified, and suffocated.

I've been interested in decentralized social media for a while now, which is why I've been fiddling around with Aether, IPFS, et cetera. Distributed web protocols are the only thing that will finally end the reign of SocJus cancel culture and globohomo jannies for good, but they have to be easy to use, secure, anonymous, censorship-proof, and so on. A lot of the existing protocols and software are not very mature. The usual suspects are already whining about decentralization, which means we need more of it.

[Harbinger of the Demiurge]

You know what's crazy? I was once speaking to a trusted individual of mine about the state of the Internet. I was talking about all the insane things I've seen, all the people I've talked to, all the things that people were interested in, and the experiences of different people I've learned about. I mentioned that this individual didn't really know what the Internet is like because I know their activity. They just go on Facebook and Instagram and TikTok. The "polite" Internet. And I'll never forget what they told me.

"Where else is there to go?"

This is the mindset of the typical Internet-enabled individual. They use what's basically a little i internet. They don't know how large and diverse (real diversity, mind you) the real Internet with a big I is. They like the consolidated easy-to-use and access services that are sanitized beyond comprehension. They like the algorithms that show them safe and curated content, and they like to be put in their own little hugbox where the things they don't know about can't hurt them. In doing so, they learn nothing new that is of value and are fed a constant stream of "content" to keep them stimulated. They have a carefully curated form of Stockholm Syndrome that is born of equal parts ignorance and fear. They are the niggercattle, as Terry A. Davis put it.

Most people don't want to "just talk" because it's scary and different. They don't even know about places where freezepeach really exists and how hard people have to fight for it because it's easier not to know and not to deal with it. They prefer to be under the watchful eye of Big Brother so that their safety is assured. But, in doing so, they sacrifice one of the most interesting parts of the human condition - the freedom to express and understand different ideas. Those that enjoy that freedom are in the minority.

I hate the internet. I love the Internet.

/rant I'll go back to laughing at retards now.

My next personal rig will be Ubuntu (work machine needs to be Windows for application reasons but I don't do anything edgy on that), but I'm curious about what exactly what you mean by a "frontend" in this context?

FreeTube. It's on GitHub. Allows you to browse Youtube without being tracked, restricted content, etc.

I've been made aware of there being front ends for Google Search as well, but I'll have to look into that and see if they're worth it or not.

Jewbuntu is cringe and compromised by troons. avoid distros that come with a central planning committee. Arch is my default recommendation, it is more or less a barebones installation of the Linux kernel with a handful of tools, which allows you to choose (and later replace) nearly every other piece of system software without breaking anything you didn't put there yourself. if you absolutely must use a prefab distro, Manjaro is Arch with all the modern OS parts already set up for you. contrary to what you might think, it is not easier to learn Linux with something like Ubuntu or Mint or Fedora which comes with a huge number of preinstalled packages. if something breaks you will be utterly lost and the support forums are full of retards. Arch comes with an autistically maintained wiki that has helpful information on nearly everything you could want. find an installation guide (the Arch wiki has one), install Arch, build your own desktop. putting in the effort now will save you a ton of work and frustration later. don't be intimidated, it really isn't terribly complicated, and unlike with Windows, everything you learn about Linux gives you more control over your own computer. see here for some hot newbie ProTips™

btw, SteamOS, the version of Linux the Steam Deck runs on, is a modified Arch installation. it was originally Debian-based (like Ubuntu) back in the Steam Machine days, but they switched. gaben knows.
