Hey, try to be a social-nationalist anywhere, you'll probably even get jailed for your political opinions.
Fortunately most of the nationalists I know recognize the value of capitalism, and most of the socialists think globalization is a good idea.

>We dont yet life in the police state where everyone's political opinions need to be hidden in dark networks. Try being a communist in America. You will get fired and your life ruined for your political opinions.
No, do not try to be a communist, anywhere. It's a horrible political philosophy.
Freenet is well designed and well maintained, but it is a solution looking for a problem. We dont yet life in the police state where everyone's political opinions need to be hidden in dark networks. At the moment, freenet has a bad reputation for hosting very illegal content. That rep is so bad that if authorities ever look into your internet traffic, freenet connections are more than enough to get warrants that will…

You don't live in a police state. My Russian friends definitely do. You can easily get a large fine (on the order of 2 average monthly salaries), or 5-10 years in prison for stating your political opinion on the internet. There are many countries like that and I am not at all surprised that the top comment does not even acknowledge their existence.
He said "we" maybe he thinks everyone here is from Arrakis or US?

100m dead people agree with you.
BTW: I don't say it's a perfect system but worth a look, and maybe one could mix both systems together.

Millions of people are in places where acknowledging that they want abortions[1] or miscarried[2] can pique the state's interest, along with people who are trans[3] or have trans kids[4]. We have police using web searches to prosecute women for abortion[1], we have states compiling lists of transgender indiv…
That is what Tor is for. If all you need is protection from authorities, Tor is enough. Freenet is content-focused, designed so that not even the original uploader can ever remove popular content. Tor protects people and speech from the police. Freenet protects files from everybody.

You've never experienced communism. So stop talking out your ass. I'd take it over this abomination that we have now any time. Vietnam. Cheap life, good life, friendly people. None of this "I'll try to screw you over and steal your money, because money is all that interests me" You have no idea.
I assure you, I have a pretty good idea.

Well.. Tor can create trouble for you as well, or at least it did for me. I used to sometimes go through Tor to visit competitors' websites when I used my work computer, just because I didn't want to leave a trail of my company's domain in the competitor's logs. That was quite innocent I thought. Then my sysadmin informed me that the national security monitor (or whatever it was called), which my company was connecte…
