"Google and Apple can’t keep pretending like the MAIDs being broadcast into the bidstream from hundreds of millions of American devices aren’t making most people trivially trackable.
"'The privacy risks here will remain until Apple and Google permanently turn off their mobile advertising ID schemes and admit to the American public that this is the technology that has been supporting the global data broker ecosystem'"
The left statists are absolutely enraged 😂 (decent rant)

"A specter is haunting the modern world, the specter of crypto anarchy."
Now do government contracts, grants, subsidies, and favorable legislation
"...The association [between the State and the Church] nonetheless led the church into a position of both conformism and of power, and this was the basic error, the fundamental heresy, of Christendom.
"...For the most part the church sold out and was led astray by the exercise of power and by association with the political powers. This was the most sinister aspect of the entire period we know as Christendom."
"From the time of Constantine there was an active alliance between the church and the political authorities.
"The [State] supported the church, gave it preferential treatment, helped it in its undertakings and expansion, gave special and privileged status to its personnel, protected their persons and possessions, put the secular arm at its service, accepted its advice, gave it an important role in the state's deliberations and decisions, and supported the claim of Christianity to absolute truth.
"The church in return had to support the secular authorities. It had to give them a part in its undertakings, become their public relations officer...
Some people on here need to learn the phrase "truncating the antecedents"

GN-z11 is one of youngest and most distant galaxies ever observed by humans.
These deep field images always blow my mind with the immensity and majesty of the universe.
New HE microSD coming for the Ronin Dojo. I think the other one is on its last legs; it's having issues with Docker failing.
So they have a moronic neo-Marxist fascist vs. a moronic state-capitalist fascist as options for a figurehead ruler.
The Empire, its military, its intelligentsia, its media, its corporations, the deep state, and its ruling class (1%) all win, and everyone else (99%) loses. The outcome of every cycle.
Statist quo maintained.
Then, they do it all over again with different authoritarian, bread-and-circuses options in another 4 years. (Make sure you have extremely acrimonious conflicts about which vision of social domination and imperial order is best.)
Lather, rinse, repeat until you die.

Anarchism is the only ideology that accounts for human nature by rejecting violent power exercised by inherently depraved human beings.
"And the extraordinary thing is that according to [the gospels] all powers, all the power and glory of the kingdoms, all that has to do with politics and political authority, belongs to the devil. It has all been given to him and he gives it to whom he wills. Those who hold political power receive it from him and depend upon him.

He does not dispute this claim. He refuses the offer of power because the devil demands that he should fall down before him. This is the sole point when he says: 'You shall worship the Lord your God and you shall serve him, only him' (Matthew 4:10)."
