[Magnetron]

In the beginning, anonymity was sacrosanct and people were encouraged to use handles and protect their privacy. Since the net was opened to the retard public thanks to Facebook and Youtube, the reverse became the policy. Now identity politics is a cultural imperitive and everyone is encouraged to profile themselves to the tiniest detail and be the specialest snowflake.

But behind all this is the trend of centralizing everything. Corporations want to retain power, monopolize and exploit everybody. Decentralization = the people own and control the infrastructure and they can't allow that. This is why Bittorrent never should've become a thing. P2P networks were perfect the way they were, but idiots decided to trade their freedom and security for convenience and speed.

There needs to be a modern equivalent of what Ben Franklin said about people trading their freedom for security deserving neither. Well, all the stupid fucks who abandoned P2P in favor of centralized services to enjoy super fast download speeds also deserve neither. I celebrated when Megaupload was busted. That fucking idiot Kim Dotcom was keeping IP logs of all his users which the authorities later got their hands on. I pray every single user gets tracked down and busted too to teach them a fucking lesson.

Social media? Exact same thing. Service requires your real name and address before you can use it? Fucking avoid it like the plague. You end up getting in trouble? How did the authorities even know your address? Oh, you willingly provided it when you signed up? That's real touching. Enjoy prison.

Seriously, what are these people even good for besides building botnets with?
