It does look like the hackers have got information about what you've downloaded as well. This doesn't bode well for anyone who downloaded non-free content from the website because if the hackers can get that information, so can the IP owners via legal means. Anyone who opened an account and downloaded said content should be sweating right now.

That's the impression I get as well. He seems to say all the right things but always seems to bend the knee when push comes to shove.

Two phrases that I think are quite apt - "never meet your heroes" and "don't listen to what they say, watch what they do".

In the UK for those in a position of trust such as teaching (as this woman was), the age of consent rises to 18 for those you are trusted with. She is a criminal in the eyes of the law.

Well yes. Paedophilia carries a stigma and rightfully so. It shouldn't matter if the perp is a man or a woman. She might find this offensive and kryptonite to her but as an adult, you have responsibility and accountability for your actions.

Also, you know the title of that article would not say "having sex with" if it was a male perp.

"Quiet", "withdrawn" and "lonely" man who goes online and plays video games.

Now you know which group the Government will be targeting.

"We're not coming for your video games" the ideologues used to say.

They're now saying "we're not coming for your kernel".

As the saying goes, 'fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me'.

Invade and destroy. A tactic of ideologues to wipe something from the face of the earth through subversion.

And the Prime Minister who had to fall on his sword when it turned out he was hosting parties while his Government was terrifying the nation with propaganda.

One of the theories that I have heard as to why the worst criminals are being freed to make room for "rioters" is that a message is being sent to any potential dissent once unpopular and damaging decisions are made in the next couple of months, starting with the abolition of the winter fuel allowance for most pensioners but also other decisions that will target the elderly, single people, the disabled and victims of domestic abuse and violence. Namely the most vulnerable people in society. As a result, civil unrest akin to the Poll Tax riots are expected so this move is being done in advance to dissuade dissenters furious at what is being done to said vulnerable groups who can't fight back for themselves.

The fact that both broadcast and Internet outlets for the establishment news means that it's them which is the issue, not the medium it is being sent by.

I expect more moves by Government to suppress or censor everyone but the "authoritative news sources".

Projection I suspect. That and hypocrisy. Western Governments could easily become as draconian and authoritarian as the likes of China, Russia and North Korea if they wanted to.

This will then give the Government power to introduce new legislation under statutory instruments where only a minister with a swipe of a pen can bring in new powers without scrutiny or debate in order to quash dissent.

It's already happened before during Covid-19.

It won't be too long before the legislation comes to Parliament. The review into misogynistic violence is due soon.

There's a reason why Gad Saad called it the "sneaky fucker" strategy.

It's not necessarily that they consider themselves unattractive, it's that everyone else considers them unattractive. The halo effect and ugly tax are real things and your looks (predominantly genetic so you can't change them at the gym) do influence how people treat you and whether you are welcomed into social groups. If you're unattractive, you need to be exceptionally talented in a social activity to overcome thar. Neuroatypicality also have an effect. We know that a disproportionate number of incels have things such as autism.

If you have ever read or studied female feminist media and literature, it has a trope based on reality where they don't want to get rid of all men but rather they want a society with just two groups of individuals - women and "Chad". The male "ally" is too blind to see this and assumes his sycophancy will save him under this ideology. It's also why as Government cabinets become majority women and male feminist (such as the UK one is now), you're starting to see the beginning of the introduction of new misogyny reviews and laws which will criminalise incels, unwanted attention, communication and behaviour (such as a woman having to swipe left or reject a man's advances) as well as unrequited love that only Chads would not fall foul of at any point.

You're dealing with a mainstream media who have no concept of a sense of humour and want to ban jokes, comedy and sarcasm because they cause offence and hate.

Wait until the consequences of the recent lawsuit against the Internet Archive comes to pass. It will lock all knowledge, ideas and information behind expensive paywalls with no way to bypass them.

They know that alternative media is a threat to their model because they want all the talking points to themselves as a monopoly. This is why they have to attack hard and twist things. Worse still, Governments will deem the likes of CBC as the arbiters of truth or in the case of the UK's Online Safety Act, give the BBC an exception to the rules on misinformation!

It's also why the UK media has been all in against the Lotus Eaters. It's a threat to the monopoly that the BBC, ITN and Sky has in news and politics.
