^ what does this even mean

I'm deeply sorry I'm still annoyed at Fallon for helping to humanize Trump and , in a small way perhaps, get him voters he may not have previously had. He's made a change but I'm suspect of his motives, whatever, it's helpful, I'm somehow not sure how one person being annoyed with him on a forum will cause him to turn back buy okay bros.

We get it. Your personal annoyance with Fallon is what matters. Making sure everybody knows Fallon is Bad and Dumb is more important than standing in solidarity against nazis.

The only useful takeaway from Fallon is that his whole shtick is to be a really nice guy who laughs at himself and is just having so much fun being a jokeman on the television, so when he gets serious and tells you to gently caress off, you've probably done something pretty bad.

I don't think Jimmy Fallon was choking up during that video because he was sad about his ratings. A lot of people are being forced to confront their political apathy and ambivalence. It's good when one of them rebukes the president in front of an audience of 2.5 million.

It is fine to question Fallon's motives for turning on Trump, because in the most likely scenario of him just chasing ratings, there is a good chance of him flipping back if it becomes good for ratings. If there were a mine collapse, or some other disaster, and Trump did the bare minimum expected from a president in such a situation, you can bet Fallon will be playing with Trump's hair the following week.

We want people to do the right thing because its the right thing to do, not because it was expedient at the time.

Similarly the idea that anyone even cares what the pundit Van Jones thinks about anything after he pivoted from crying on election night and being a voice of reason, to calling Trump "presidential" the moment he murders a few people in Syria is probably one of the most skin-crawlingly cynical and destructive things I've seen to normalize Trump. I blame him and his ilk for giving Trump the idea that war and murder = solid media approval.

It's not that Fallon denouncing Trump is wrong if it doesn't come from some ideologically pure place, it's whether he's liable to muddy his own message if the media message changes, and he doesn't really take seriously what he's saying. In a way it's worse for the public than just being an all-out Jefferey Lord sycophant.

It's Silicon Valley as gently caress but the hope would be that increased demands would create better networks. Is that realistic? No, but we are dreamers.

as long as there are single points of failure you're going to have the government seeking to control those points of failure. a lot of these "technical solutions to social problems" encryption ideas have leaned heavily on the government just not quite getting where the points of failure are because they're behind the curve, or putting the points of failure outside their control by putting the points of failure in jurisdictions that will not permit the sort of snooping you want to prevent - which is giving credit to the encryption instead of the real hero, whatever social measures were used to get that freedom in that jurisdiction

this is all putting aside the problem that the instant you create these super-private communications channels they're instantly invaded by child pornographers because those are the people that want the best protection against government snooping possible and ordinary people are not terribly interested in things that associate them with child pornographers

so yeah, it's silicon valley as gently caress, but not in a good way. you can't get around the need for society to decide what level of government snooping it will tolerate

It's fine to question motives though. People need to stop acting like saying "Hmmm, he may have ulterior motives" means poo poo other than thinking about it. No one here is telling him in a tweet to gently caress off, tweeting sponsors to drop him or whatever.

I really really doubt Fallon is suddenly going to silent and back Trump because a couple of dicks on a loving forum said "hmmm maybe he's not totally truthful" chill out.

Literally no one gives a poo poo about Fallon. It's YOU whose own poo poo we're trying to rub your nose in. Don't make a habit out of questioning people's motives for doing the right thing. It literally doesn't matter in this specific case what you think about Jimmy loving Fallon. What does matter is if you pull this poo poo all the time, which makes you a drag on a cause and not an ally.

not to my knowledge but there was one completely unrelated professor who was getting harassed because of a vague resemblance to someone in the pictures (he has a rock-solid alibi and was not at the nazi march), so it's important to be sure before demanding someone be fired :v:

I would've had a much more positive reaction if he also apologized for rubbing Trump's head and normalizing his hatred of other people. He was part of the problem and while I hope he's feeling some actual regret for what he did until he publicly says "I am sorry I did this" it's all just crocodile tears to me.

Yeah. More specifically, Tor is an infrastructure for anonymizing internet traffic as completely as is practical.

This move is weird, though. Daily Stormer still need to either find someone willing to host the content on their servers, or build their own servers. Which is the real problem they were facing.

by putting it on tor, they make it difficult (theoretically impossible, but the FBI keeps proving that's not the case) for people to determine who is hosting it and complain to the hosting company and get them kicked out, and hosting companies tend not to be proactively screening the content they host and instead just respond to complaints

Or better yet, don't. Don't give them the views.

Yeah he is pretty much right. Liberal intellectuals are complete hypocrites telling people that race is culturally constructed and non-essential and then reordering culture completely along racial lines. The invisible knapsack does nothing to help oppressed people it only demoralizes and humiliates privileged people. You can't really check the privilege of someone else you can only check your own, meaning that this program needs the internalized beliefs to already mirror anti-racists ones. White racists will not consent to being singled out and demoralized, they will react and assert their white pride.
