    Seems like an informative video by a talented creator who is rightfully skeptical of the US State Department, which makes it sad and ironic that he included a Xi Jinping = Winnie the Pooh joke—the official anti-China meme of the US State Department. I kept watching, but shut it off right after he said “China, Iran, and Russia are bad”.

      I switched off when he made the second “and there goes the other half of my tankie subscribers” joke too

      I might have powered through if he hadn’t fucking joked about it. Fuck that shit.

          I really don’t have time for anyone who encourages leftist infighting, or jokes about it in a way that is intended to pander to leftists that do the infighting. That’s how that kind of “joke” comes across and using the tankie phrase is just reinforcing and normalising it to the dipshit part of the left that doesn’t read.

      Video is far too long and nothing of worth hearing added over the Onion Router and PRISM NATOpedia pages, which is saying a lot.

      It’s over an hour long, no reason. I turned it off at 6 minutes when he seems to be implying there’s some huge conspiracy afoot with tech companies scrambling to do damage control post-PRISM (with making hidden service URLs for Zuckbook to be accessed by Tor and such). Like he said, of course they don’t care if you use Tor, it’s still your account… I can’t imagine where he was going with this was at all worthwhile. At best they were hoping to correlate people using their personal accounts via Tor with their other Tor traffic, or deliver Javascript exploits to Tor users. We found out quite quickly when Zuckbook paid for a TAILS 0-day which they deployed against a child abuser using their websites to go after kids, via security researchers.
