Toolkit for the Modern Dissident

[Martin Hash]

dissident is when you recognize that it's all propaganda, there's no useful information, so you don't need to check anymore

I haven’t seen anything but YouTube clips in over a decade. Propaganda makes me physically ill. I’m allergic to indoctrination. I have a visceral reaction to brainwashing. It’s a superpower.

the key is just to avoid news

the constant bombardment with headlines, clickbait, and the like

more in depth philosophical discussions beyond the immediate moral panic, I still engage with that

[Smitty-48]

in terms of youtube, I think my favorite is Glenn Loury & John McWhorter

the Woke despise them of course, because they are black conservatives

Yes, cutting the cable and ignoring the propaganda machine is key.
Definitely a good call.

I'd add that if you want to deprive Google of your interests and browsing habits consider using the Brave Browser (if you want free crypto), or Dissenter Browser, and switching your search engine to Duck Duck Go. Search the web without being tracked. Deprive systems from some of the other information they use to identify you with a better browser.

I've used brave, it's a love/hate relationship. And I do use duck duck go... but it doesn't seem to matter, the big tech companies can hunt you down even if you don't want them to.

Each individual roadblock doesn't matter, and can be circumvented.
The aggregate effect of multiple roadblocks slows your opponent considerably.
I love Brave, no hate.
It's more secure, and they've paid me about $15 to use it since I started in September.
Put it on my work computer too - for those extra pennies.

the hardest part of being a dissenter is accepting that you don't matter anymore

the masses are not going to see things your way anytime soon, no matter what you say or do

these moral panics eventually go so far up their own asses they dissipate on their own

but it's going to be awhile

meanwhile, we're not getting younger, so you just have to get on with the rest of life in the now

[DBTrek]

I matter a great deal - just perhaps not to you or lefties.
And I'm fine with that.


Yet history is replete with dissenters that have changed its course.
My risk tolerance, with a family, probably means I won't be one of them.
But someone will be, and they'll need a support network.

that's who my techniques are for

if one is young & single with no attachments nor assets to lose, they don't need a toolkit

I mean, when I was young & single, I ran buck wild, getting in fights with everyone including the cops

[Smitty-48]

for the young however, what I note is that they don't even run buck wild

the paralysis by analysis actually causes their lives to stop

they don't have wives, they don't even have girlfriends

they aren't moving forward towards being parents & owning a home

they are just stuck in limbo, Prisoners of the Future

living in virtual reality on the internet at the exclusion of all else
