Well, I watch you over at Survaliance Report, and over here, and I've gotta say that this was an enjoyable, good humoured and informative 'rant' on the state of online privacy which deserves to be seen! Bravo👍👏
Signal is the most important program of the last decade. Honest political discussion will soon be exclusive to nets where it can't be viewed by the public like on political Facebook pages. Largely because a lot of people are so sensitive to disagreement that they'll try to ruin you and say you're a horrible person.....because apparently that's easier than having a conversation.
It's genially just disgusting that political violence, politically motivated attacks against people, etc even exist. I am moderate right, and I used to work for a local restaurant, they somehow caught word of my views. And I would constantly have a bias against me, where if I do something that is slightly wrong I would get punished more than others. I ended up being fired because of my political beliefs, luckily I found a new job that does not care. People used to be accepting of others opinions but the extreme of both sides (though more towards the left) have become more and more intolerant of others with the "wrong opinion". Also not helped by people being stuck in echo chambers, only hearing one side, which only gets more and more extreme. Also you can use online aliases if you want to talk about your politics in a more secret manner. Separating it from Online and real life.
Nate I see U and Henry were talking about your phone doing the mission impossible thing. I am currently in the market again and looking for recommendations. I have been seeing some things on the brax3 phone that is new to me. Maybe it's time to dedicate a show on the new state of privacy phones.
I don't recommend any Brax phones. I've not heard anything good about it from any of the experts I trust. I've talked extensively about phones here (thenewoil.org/en/guides/most-important/mobile/) and in the last two paragraphs here (thenewoil.org/en/guides/moderately-important/mobile-habits/). A phone video is on the roadmap but it will be a while.
Absolutely outstanding advice! This one is a reference-quality video I'm also putting to my "Watch Later" folder so I don't forget it! Well, done, Nate!
I had to laugh at 5:08, all the election signage... instantly recognized the signage from Alberta, Canada. We're a little more lax about that stuff in the great white north, neighbours will have signs from opposing parties on their lawns up here and still get along noicely over a coffee at Tim Hortons. "I don't care if you vote wrong, how's the fishing last week?" We actually care more about how Americans vote in your elections where it's actually consequential than how we vote here because our Left and Right have basically the same policies... that and the head of state is not elected. The Governor of Canada, functionally ceremonial, is appointed and is an arm of the British rule. But he or she can technically decide who runs the country. It's an electoral college of one.
Nate: "Practice minimalism. Detach yourself from social media." Also Nate: "Listen to a new podcast." Podcasts are no different than a TH-camr spouting off their opinions in a video. People should be doing their own research, not relying on the "trust me bro" mentality that's rampant among content creators.

Be sure to use an unrelated email address and don't give them your phone number
