sorry to put sims drama on the dash but this person literally claiming that all russian sims game modders are “underhanded little weasels who don’t care about progressive issues and they’ll use tricks to try and keep everyone away” and should be kicked out of the sims modding community because all they know how to do is lie cheat and steal and that whatever sims patreon community drama is going on is some kind of organized 4chan tactics scheme on the part of russian modders intending to tear the sims community apart
i’m losing my mind this is completely insane. this is your brain on racist geopolitics. this is russiagate for sims players i’m literally speechless. like this is literally just xenophobia and russophobia . because of video game mods
sorry I’m still pissed about this because this isn’t just a sims thing this is something that i see all the time especially this past year with the war in ukraine and it’s just so completely baffling to witness. like as a child you hear about people being extremely racist against japanese people because of WW2 and later koreans and vietnamese and anyone assumed to be of these ancestries because of western war propaganda doing Yellow Peril shit all the time to justify their wars and it’s like come on you had to have seen that they were clearly trying to justify their wars through racist fearmongering and phrenology race science type shit but you see it happening constantly with chinese people and russians today and it’s just like.
“who possibly could’ve supported something so clearly horrible like racism against japanese people or koreans or (insert ethnic group declared enemies of western nations)” the type of person in the screenshot is the exact kind of person who would’ve supported the us and canadian govs putting japanese ppl in internment camps in WW2, who would’ve supported war using racist language against koreans and vietnamese, who would’ve been fully pro red scare red peril type asiatic hordes fearmongering against the eastern block during the cold war like it’s so fucking insane seeing this happen again in real time with people being like “no this group of people are just inherently untrustworthy and evil and love to lie and steal and they’re All bad people fundamentally and must be universally shunned for the sake of Our Society” against russians and chinese people. how easily people buy into racism and twist it into something righteous because “no no you see These People are All Actually Evil and if you don’t agree with me you support atrocities” like do you fucking hear yourselves??? and all this just comes out through the most banal situation like video game mods something completely unrelated but this rhetoric is so pervasive it just seeps into everything and we’ve reach the point where people can just be Overtly Racist against russians or chinese people or any other ethnic group considered to be “on the other side” of geopolitics against the west and no one bats an eye. unbelievable
hey psa if you are considering watching the new h*rry potter movie please unfollow me before i find out and block you. jk rowling is a racist, antisemitic terf and if you support this movie then you are supporting her. it’s not hard to avoid it. it’s not hard to stop engaging. and if it is, then let me make one thing easy for you: you are not welcome on my blog. goodbye
So I kind of hate that Putin is trying to restrict the flow of information into Russia so that he can control the narrative, so for my Russian friends, here is my guide on
How to get around internet censorship and maintain internet privacy
This will hopefully help you access the internet regardless of Russian government bans. It’s a little slow, but better than nothing. It hides your IP address from the internet, so it’s kind of like using a VPN. A very basic summary of how Tor works: your internet traffic is routed through several “nodes”. The Entry Node, can see your IP address but has no idea what data you’re sending, and this goes through several middle nodes, until it reaches the Exit Node. The Exit Node can see what data you’re sending, but it can’t see your IP address so it doesn’t know WHO sent it. That’s why it’s a good idea to do nothing identifying when using the Tor Browser, like writing personal information. Here’s a blog post with more detailed information about the Tor Browser.
Get a VPN
VPNs are often used to get around government internet restrictions. Russia will probably not be able to do much about it. However, not all VPNs are created equal. Nearly all of the free VPNs are a scam that turn around and sell your data, so free VPNs are not secure. The only exception to this is ProtonVPN which has a free tier, but it’s very slow. Basically the only good VPN is one you pay for. When choosing a VPN, be aware of where the company is based, because if a VPN company is based in the USA, it will have to comply USA privacy laws. So choose a VPN based in a country that has good privacy laws. A great one is Mullvad VPN, which is based in Sweden. But for the purposes of Russia, just making sure your VPN is not Russian or in a country sympathetic to Russia is probably good enough.
Alternative Front-Ends A frontend is the the part of a website which the user interacts with directly. To browse the contents of websites, you usually have to visit them. However, many people have made alternative privacy-respecting frontends to popular websites that allow you to see the site’s content without actually visiting the website. This helps avoid tracking, data-collection, and even countries’ attempts to ban websites. Twitter is banned in Russia right now, but using all an alternative frontend to Twitter works (according to my Russian friend).
If anyone knows of one of these for Tumblr please let me know. I found this site called Tumgir but it looks sketchy and unlike the rest of the ones I listed, it’s not open-source. So visit with caution, but I’m mentioning it because it might be better than nothing.
There are also these browser extensions that automatically redirect site links to the available alternatives:
Privacy Redirect - Redirects Google Maps, Google Search, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, Youtube.
iPhone (iOS 15+) Safari
Privacy Redirect - Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, Google Translate, Google maps, Google Search, Medium
Android
UntrackMe - Google Maps, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube
Messaging / Communication
Matrix is a federated and decentralized End-to-End Encrypted (E2EE) messaging with many platforms, the most popular of which is Element. It’s like Discord, but worse. It’s getting better over time though! You can even use a a throwaway email to sign-up.
If you’re Russian you likely already know about Telegram, but MAKE SURE you’re aware that only Secret Chats are End-to-End Encrypted. So don’t say anything that would get you in trouble outside of a Secret Chat.
End Notes
China is way better at internet censorship. They’ve had years to build the infrastructure to control the flow of information online. And yet, the Chinese people still manage to “climb the wall” and find ways around this. Russia is new to this game and doesn’t have the resources China does. So I really doubt it’ll be that hard to get around their attempts to block websites. Have faith! And feel free to DM me for more info cause this post just scratches the surface for things you can do tbh.
Biden said he’d give $2,000 stimulus checks. Instead he gave only 1400 and means tested it to be given to people making under a certain amount based on pre-Covid income.
Biden said he’d forgive student debt. Instead he backed Betsy Devos and her campaign against loan forgiveness and while he did cancel 3 billion, he allowed the national Student Debt to increase by another ~40 billion.
He said he’d he raise the minimum wage to $15. Instead, he secretly told his colleagues that he was not trying to and scapegoated the parliamentarian, someone who can be ignored and fired.
Biden said he would lower the Medicare for all eligibility and create a public option. Instead he has blocked any attempt on Medicare expansion in spite of raging pandemic.
Biden promised that he would listen to experts to defeat Covid. He meant economic experts apparently as his strategy is nearly identical to Trump in spite of Vaccines.
Speaking of which, Biden said that he would make sure no parents would get in the way of distributing the vaccine worldwide.
Instead he has coddled the patents and prevented exports of the vaccines to developing nations. This allowed Big Pharma to extort developing nations.
But I am not finished lol.
Biden said he’d cure cancer if elected. Not only he didn’t cure cancer, his sanctions have prevented cancer patients from receiving treatment.
Biden promised he’d decriminalize Marijuana and expunge the records of those convicted of the possession of the drug.
He fired his own staffer for past use after tricking them into revealing that info and has sent the ones that Trump pardoned back to Prison.
Biden promised to remove the racist mandatory minimum drug sentencing that he instilled in the first place with assistance from a segregationist.
He is expanding on Trump’s expansion of them.
Biden promise to end Trump’s racist Muslim Ban. He has continued them instead.
But I am still not finished.
I’ve been talking about this for awhile now but liberals have been moving goal posts on this particular issue.
Biden promised to halt deportations. Instead he expanded on them, increased ICE’s funding, and doubled the amount of migrants in concentration camps.
Biden promised to end the practice of putting children in cages.
Biden just renamed them, and opened more for profit detention facilities while tripling the amount of children in cages with the added quality of denying them masks and other basic amenities like food, medicine, and clothes.
Biden promised to end family separation. He didn’t end family separation.
Biden promised to end the construction of the Border Wall. He stalled when he was perfectly capable of doing something about it and continued to seize property from families in order to continue the construction of the border wall.
To be continued
Biden promised to believe in Climate Science and fight the climate crisis. Instead, he increased the oil drilling, defended the pipelines, and placed fossil fuel executives in his administration.
Biden pledged that he’d stop supporting the genocide in Yemen by US ally, Saudi Arabia.
He gave them more weapons and support.
Biden promised that he’d rejoin the Iran Deal and improve relations with Iran.
He refused their offer, and chose to bomb Iranian forces illegally, seize their lands, and kill their citizens with sanctions.
Biden promised to improve US relations with Cuba. I am starting to think that Biden thinks sanctions and blockades are not acts of war and oppression, but how we make allies.
Can’t stop. Won’t stop.
Biden promised to stop giving the police weapons of war. He actually increased the militarization of the police.
Biden promised to punish the Saudi Royal Family for brutally murdering Jamal Khashogi with US trained assassins.
Biden promised to give more refugees an opportunity to seek asylum in America.
He has been Trump-esque.
I am pinning this for posterity and in case there be updates. Yes I am that petty. You liberals pissed me off.
I was waiting for at least two weeks to update this but since Liberals want to play, “discredit the black man, he bad” with me and super monitor everything I post. Cool. Fact check this.
Biden tweets out that he will fight for the climate science. But he not only won’t ban fracking, he urged OPEC to boost oil output to subsidize for the Covid Pandemic, and arrested protesters who are actually fighting for climate change.
“I drove people to the polls for you, Joe Biden. I drove people to the polls who had never, never voted in their lives,” Winona LaDuke said in a July 7 press call. “We believed in you.”
Sorry, Winona, you aren’t one of the oil lobbyists that Biden put in his administration so your council don’t mean shit to him.
By the way, if you are worried about the recent IPCC report that said in more certain terms that we are fucked if we don’t do something, support the StopLine3 movement. And you should because well…
Back to the Biden bashing that you assholes don’t have an answer for.
Remember that promise Biden made that he will have Covid down by Independence Day? I found a nice little parallel.
Not like they handled it too differently. I think that’s the definition of insanity.
But Biden wouldn’t mind being associated with Trump since the fucker has been actively defending him in court.
Well I guess that is a common courtesy Presidents have: shield each other from their own bullshit.
Game on, liberals. Let’s fucking go.
Back again to make niggas heated. Not just remind you that you got more stimulus money under Trump than you did Biden or to how the administration abandoned you in Covid just like Trump, but to dig deep into some Biden lore.
Today we are talking about Tara Reade.
Tara Reade updated her story in early January to include the tidbit of Joe digitally stimulating her because, under my assumption, she didn’t initially classify the gesture as assault. Before we go into details about how rape victims, especially women, recall trauma. One particular thing about the persecution of Reade was that her claims found some truth. Her ex-husband corroborated her story in a civil divorce proceedings, years before Biden decided to run. Her mother called Larry King anonymously asking about sexual assaulting Senators and the victimizing interns and who they can come to. But one detail, I found particular is the “well” that Biden allegedly brought her to according to her interview with Katie Halper.
This story was written by the unfortunately named and late Alexander Cockburn back in 2008. He mentioned Biden sexually assaulting a staffer much in the same manner as Tara Reade. In other words, Joey Fingaz had a preferred location to get handsy with his aides. Speaking of which, the incident of the car accident Cockburn mentions is often quoted without the context that Biden was caught with a staffer.
Biden blamed the driver for his wife’s death and claimed he was drunk in order to garner sympathy and take eyes off the fact that he was caught weeks prior to sexually assaulting a staffer.
This is not me saying believe Tara. But why do you believe Joe over her when Ho Biden was already caught doing this before?
It’s getting super obnoxiously long just beginning to cover this asshole’s lies.
This one. He lied to the whole world. If you don’t believe me and of course reality, the US is still in war with Iraq, is intervening in Syria militarily, funding the Saudi Genocide in Yemen, and is involved in the Somali Civil War. Like…duh.
And also Sanctions and embargoes are acts of war.
Not to mention the antagonistic attitude towards China and Russia that the administration fostered. Like…what?
This is one will hurt.
Both of these are full on bold faced bare assed lies.
Biden has brought back fucking overseers. He has used exceeded Trump’s use of Title 42 to expel more than 200k more migrants from this country. Biden is on pace to strip the title of Deporter in Chief from Obama within his first year knowing that most asylum seekers deported and sent back to their country fucking die.
And just to twist that knife for specific pro-abortion folks.
It’s over. You lost. Don’t politicize your issue to shame voters into voting Democrats again.
A couple more to add to your list (feel free to just steal it if convenient) just from today (9/22/21) and today:
This has been long overdue.
Remember that outcry about ICE beating and whipping Haitian refugees escaping and seeking asylum from a country that the United States indirectly helped kill their President via training his Colombian Assassins in a coup school in the US? Thus inferring that the US is behind the discord in Haiti that those Haitian refugees are escaping from or at least partially ? Yeah, so after those images of ICE officials living out their overseer fantasies were released, Joe Biden promised to end that mindless and racist-image invoking practice. Well, he lied.
“Oh, but I thought Joe Biden was going to practice a more humane immigration process,” you fuck ass liberals may ask but then justify at least that it’s not as bad as Trump. You are wrong again.
Damn. It’s like electing the guy who once said “if Haiti were wiped off the face of the Earth, it would not matter to the US” was a bad idea.
I remember this. I also remember the leaked call of Joe Biden condescendingly talking down to Civil Rights leaders about Black Lives Matter protests and Defund the Police.
He says as Immigration is a Black issue. 7% of non-citizens in the U.S. are Black, but 20% of those facing deportation on criminal grounds are Black. 44% of people detained by ICE from 2020 to now are Haitian. Bonds for Haitian detainees average $16,700, 54% higher than for other immigrants.
Black Lives Never Mattered To Joe Biden.
But there is a caveat here.
¼th of black folks who did support Biden, no longer do. And you liberals aren’t going to gaslight them about Biden or any likeminded liberal politician, again.
In the onset of the media somehow preemptively blaming leftists for Virginia losses and Republican gains around the country, I just want to remind you that Biden has failed to deliver on essentially anything.
And these betrayals are coming back to bite the man who fell asleep during a summit about a climate crisis after repeated failings on doing anything substantive about climate change. Biden is going to be the president of failing to live up to anything he campaigned for.
This man supported his own perceived obstacles.
Democrats are going to blame the left for their inevitable loss in 2022. And then move further to the right.
And there is no one will ever dispute or question their logic.
New Lying Biden a day early because @wilwheaton pissed me off.
Which is basically the summary of Wil’s Biden apologia. And I am a little sick of this.
View on Twitter
Remember Puerto Rico and how devastated Biden bums were and how they used Trump’s mishandling of the devastation?
Made a whole ass plan, part of which was to audit the billions of dollars of debt that Puerto Ricans incurred along with protecting pensioners.
Well…
Biden lied
Biden promised that the board that is still heartlessly collecting debt would respect Puerto Ricans but they are in court using the law that the board’s demands exceed any law of the land.
Oh and to update, Biden has lost more refugee children than Trump. Damn. So much for kids in cages, huh, liberals?
But that is not going to stop conservative war mongering piece of shit conservative liberal Bill Kristol from gas lighting the fact that no one wanted Biden to be the next FDR.
You did and fuck you, Kristol. And how are you not in prison for creating the agenda to get America in war with Iraq with your think tank Project New American Century?
In spite of Biden’s torrential failures and disappointments, I just to remind you all that almost everything in this massive posts was within Biden’s power.
He could have not given a student loan debt collector more money and instead cancelled the student loan debt.
He could release political prisoners like he would said he’d respect and would do.
Biden is every bit as bad as Trump and you motherfucker’s are lying to yourselves at this point.
Fuck Joe Biden.
Mother fuck, all of you liberals who co-opted a movement to vote for this piece of shit.
Don’t talk to me today or this week. Eat shit.
Okay I did say I wasn’t going to update this anymore. And I truly wasn’t. Like I was completely satisfied with just moving on. But this is just getting egregious. First, Republicans and Ancaps shouldn’t complain about Biden because you are getting everything you want. Liberals never really had principles to begin with so they don’t matter. But yeah, this shit is absurd.
Oh wow weee are fucked.
On every fundamental level, Joe Biden has lived up to every leftist’s worst fears. Like a neo-liberal he has prioritized the health of people for the health of the economy which at this point is short hand for rich people because you don’t fucking matter.
But hey, let’s get on the CDC since no one is raising an eyebrow as to how this public health National bureaucracy has been handling a pandemic in the country with the second most deaths from said pandemic probably doesn’t have its Nation’s people’s best interest.
Because we are in a banana republic, mis amigos. A plutocracy of the rich. Biden’s plan for Covid was for people on red states to just fucking die. His plan of getting back to normal was resuming student loan payments.
It was never about the human element in Biden’s campaign. In his whole political career, Biden has never cared about the human aspect of governance. He has only justified the institution of government.
But you are thinking, “Wait, Ubernegro, you are a crusty Anarchist, you don’t like the state so why are you criticizing Biden for stating there is no federal response to Covid?”
Because he is undermining a collective response to Covid. Which Anarchists are for and governments are also capable of and somehow this country doesn’t even want to implement because it goes against their real God, endless production.
Sorry to dump this on you, but you liberals have no excuse.
The Battle of Blair Mountain occurred in August and September of 1921
However, on May 31st-June 1st of that same year, the actual first airplane attack on US soil occurred in Tulsa where violent white mobs murdered over 75 innocent black civilians in the Tulsa Race Massacre.
I hate you all. Because he campaigned on doing this.
He fucking campaigned on this and you pieces of shit didn’t hold him accountable because you lowered the bar so fucking low. Well thanks. Fuck you.
“But it was worse under Trump.”
Look at that chart. It literally fucking isn’t. I had friends lose eyes and get severely injured because of this shit and you literally choose the guy that wants to give them more money. For fuck’s sake!
Ok, so what’s the plan now. How do we more forward and hold him accountable and stop this. How do we abolish the police
If you ask me: we don’t ‘hold him accountable’, we fight his power an the power of the cops and prisons he commands.Here’s a few starters on what that might look like and where it might go:
I could list many more resources, but you can probably find your way from here.
Many, many, many people are already fighting the cops, fighting the prisons, fighting ICE, fighting the electoral scam, fighting capitalism, fighting sexism, fighting racism, and caring for each other to make it through together. All you have to do is join in. Find a collective, an affinity group, a mutual aid group, a revolutionary union, and start creating change instead of waiting for the chance to vote for it.
Just to add on with @queeranarchism ‘s resources that you motherfuckers don’t have a choice. If ending this police state really mattered to you, you’d stop turning to electoralism. Accountability is a lie.
