    We are rapidly moving towards a period where the few safe parts of the internet left that arent under strict corporate control will be targetted. Everyone should be preparing for that. Keep PDFs of useful info on your machines. I have a whole library of pdfs on mine with things from communist theory to first aid manuals. And switching to Linux so that your computer cant just be remotely monitored at all times is important too. I worry a lot of people won’t be prepared for when the digital surveillance they’ve been doing for years turns into actual mass arrests against anyone they see as an ideological threat.

        That’s ok. You don’t have to read them now. Just find PDFs and download them. I have a folder labelled “Digital Library” on my laptop that has a few dozen ones in it. I havent ready all of them cover to cover or anything. I have maps of my local area, theory, textbooks on mathematics, first aid manuals, herbalism guides, foreign language textbooks, and a few works of strategic or historical usefulness. Like The Prince, The Art of War, etc.

      1984 is funny because it depicts fascism to a T even though it was intended to critique Stalin and the USSR.

      Perhaps the oldest example of criticizing socialism by describing capitalism.
