        Also there is some large overlap in folks on the right and left that want/need to hide from some level of legal stuff (or at least adding some level of anonymity). Very unfortunate since the adblocking/malware blocking DNS they have is something I have on all my devices/browsers. Seems to work better for me than AdGuard’s, but might give them another try (open to any recommendations for DNS providers with ad/malware blocks that people like). Real answer is that I need to finally setup a Pi Hole I guess.

        Does anyone have recommendations for VPNs that are similar to Mullvad with no logging and servers that are RAM disk (and CEOs that are slightly less problematic atm if the article is true)? Mostly use VPN for torrents, with some uses for random times where I want to not have my real IP (normally when tor is just a brick wall of captchas or similar), or get around something being region locked.

          While not a recommendation as I can’t be sure of every CEOs takes and how they align to your values, I’d recommend giving VPS’s a look.

          There’s plenty of guides out there to help you set one up, and you can be more confident with what’s running on your system.

          Could be worth a shot if you’re having trouble locating a VPN you like.

            Thanks for the advice. I have heard of VPSs but never looked into them. So at the very least this is a chance to learn about them.

      They’re not fascists. They are liberals - and like liberal elites throughout history, they are utterly incapable of defending their precious private property by themselves. That is what they need the hencherproletariat for - fascists.

      Fascism does not beget fascism - liberalism begets fascism. The liberal economic order is popping rivets all over the place… so some of these elites are building bunkers in New Zealand, while others do what liberal elites have always done when their power and privilege is facing a threat from below - feeding growth hormone to the vilest and most violent elements of the working class - the hencherproletariat. That is why you see liberals like Trump, Musk and literally a “whose who” laundry list of liberal elites enabling fascists and inviting them into power structures - they are essentially holding auditions for Hitlers and Pinochets.

          Not true at all. The liberal elite that funds fascist violence does not do so to become fascist themselves, but to remain a liberal elite when their power and privilege is threatened. By classifying all these liberal elites as “fascist,” you are painting over the fundamental class divisions that separate the true working-class fascist from the true bourgeoisie liberal capitalist.

          Are you sure you want to do that? Because if so, you will have to classify every liberal regime who funds instrumentalised fascist violence through the institution of police as “fascist…” and you might find yourself in very confusing territory because of that rather quickly.
