What do you not like about the EU

centralizing control is bad. It gives less freedom and autonomy to the common man.

A citizen of a country in the EU votes for their parliment or congress or whatever to decide things, but then the EU parliment can just override whatever your elected officals decide. Doesn’t that piss you off? Imagine an entire continent being an HOA neighborhood. Where the HOA gets to dictate everything you do with your own house that they don’t own, don’t pay bills for and don’t maintain for you… and that’s a metaphor for the EU

I wouldn’t just get rid of the EU if I had my way, I’d de-centralize as much authority as possible down to every town being a self governing local community.

But with a constituion of rights that are always off the table for any debate.

Full bodily autonomy, free speech, gun ownership, right to privacy, right to remain silent, right to a fair trial with legal representation…competent legal represenation that won’t pressure you into admitting anything…basically a set of rights that allow you to do what you want with your own things and your own land

If you have a problem with gun ownership. You won’t once you’ve had to deal with someone invading your home. What? you think calling the police is going to stop a home invader from hurting you?

“hey I just called the police!”

“oh shit! you got me! Guess I’ll just sit here and wait to be arrested”

Never ask an EU supporter about why their own country doesn’t get to decide things for its self

A library is a tax-funded service and you’re expected to return anything you check out from them.

Imagine if it was “Europeon Union” firing at “Europe” with the gun being labled as “centralized control” and asking “why do so many of them want to leave?”

Anything controlled by a centralized bank is evil.

the ministry of truth in china would be monitoring where those emails are caming and going at minimum.

In developed countries where people don’t get arrested for wrongthink mullvad is great, I’m just saying, be prepared if you plan on going to a place with a censorship firewall

Good to know, but how can you safely request them without giving away that you’re using them?

What method does the request go through? What happens when those proxies get blocked by the censorship firewalls too?

Unless you are willing to do the math, “no entropy really” deserves a [citation needed]

what kind of password has more entropy? one with capital and lowercase letters, numbers, math symbols and puncuation marks?

or the one with only numbers?

Is there really a citation needed for that?

It’s just numbers, no punctuation marks, no letters, no math symbols. No entropy really.

For most people that’s not an issue, but some people out there can guess them.

one way to mitigate that problem is simply to not load your mullvad account with more than 1 year of time at any given time. If your mullvad account has like…10 years of time then yeah, lots of people are going to mootch if they figure out which number has that

Or even if they don’t mootch, they could just remove the devices on your account and fuck with you

it’s just a string of numbers with no password

Mullvad is much friendlier to privacy, but their proxies get blocked by A LOT of stuff, they also have a very small number of proxies. Mullvad collects literally nothing about you, but that’s a double edged sword. not having any way to verify exactly who paid money into which account number means they can’t help you if someone steals your account. I also have it on good authority that mullvad isn’t very reliable at getting past more aggressive censorship firewalls. the one in china for example won’t allow you to use mullvad unless the sim you’re connecting from is a US one.

Proton doesn’t record anything you’re doing with their VPN and they’ve had to prove that many times and their “sentinel” program and the 2FA and double password you can enable make it very hard if not impossible for someone to mootch off your account. I very rarely get blocked by anything when I use proton VPN, if I ever do get blocked I just have to change the proxy I’m on. I don’t even have to change the location most of the time because proton VPN has a huge number of proxies at each location.

Proton also gives you the ability to save recovery phrases and recovery files if you lose your password(s) or your 2FA

ente auth and ageis auth are great for storing your 2FAs and they allow you to back them up to a file if your account with ente fails in some way or if you forget the password to get into your ageis

as for those recovery files and phrases I talked about. save them in text files on a small capacity flash drive that you don’t use for anything else

not sure about a laser disk scan. It’s just a DVD box set that came included with the un-remastered editions in the bonus disk

I don’t support any kind of centralized control over anything. So I don’t support the EU

I like systems where you have inalienable rights from something like the US constitution, but then each town being a self-governing local community.

It’s much harder to bribe policitians when there’s significantly more of them you’d need to bribe. And it’s harder to get away with taking a bribe when everyone you’re serving knows who you are

I have copies of the second remastering box set that came included with the original un-remastered editions. What do I use to copy off those?

NextDNS and ReThinkDNS might be helpful, mullvad DNS, adguard DNS, also helpful

the post is too much for me to read right now. Every youtuber I like is constantly getting demonetized and/or having their revenue stolen. So I watch with some heavy duty adblocking filters on multiple levels.

And then for let’s plays where each video in a playlist is 40 minutes or more I use alternative front-ends exclusively

How is it crap and how does this overcomplicate any of it?

you’re adding too many steps, too many oppurtunities for fuckery to happen

Try to replace Swiss with British and see the reactions. They left the EU.

Did Switzerland crack down on encryption? No? Then what the hell does the UK have to do with what I said?

Because we both agree that the most votes should win for each representative.

No, you came up with a bunch of crap that overcomplicates it and I want to keep it simple.

what I want is for the person with the most votes to win. What you want is not that

We’re talking about electing representatives to govern our country, not picking what movie a few people want to go watch.

Yes, so whoever has the most votes should win in each election for each position, because the majority of people want that person for that job
