the age of demonstrations is over.

nobody in power gives jack shit about it, be it rainbows in russia or honking in canada. demonstrations against covid fuckery were nearly verboten in germany. it was ok that 100k demonstrate against war in ukraine though, the hygiene rules didn't matter anymore all of a sudden.

the only thing which will happen if you are in a demonstration (against stuff the "elected" determine, in their infinite wisdom, as truth) is that you'll get fucked short term by beatings and fines and long term because you will be registered as contrarian (yes those registers are probably illegal, but nobody gives a shit about that either).

lay low, be sand in the gears. game the government wherever you can. pull out as many resources as you can, while generating as few taxes as possible. try to be more self sufficient. good luck.

I just spent 15 minutes setting up this instance to prove it can be done. total cost to set up this instance - $0.00 upfront, $0.00 recurring

the domain (pl.poo.li) came for free from afraid.org public subdomain registry and is free for me to use as long as the person who owns the root domain renews it (look for domains with high ages if you are using this method)

the VPS hosting is free on the always free tier from Oracle. they offer free trials and when you sign up for always free tier you get a trial of the other services as well. these instances are 1 full CPU core (2 threads) on AMD EPYC server grade CPU with 1GB ram (1GB swap) and 50GB of hdd space. the caveat to them always being free is the disk speed is limited to 50MB/s and the network bandwidth is limited to 50mbps in/out. a single user or a handful of users would not notice this under normal circumstances.

I will likely write up a guide this weekend but this is just proof it can be done. thank you for coming to my tedtalk

Wäre eine Welt ohne die Herren Trump und Putin eine bessere Welt? - Ich denke nein. Gern werden die beiden in einem Atemzug genannt. Was macht sie ähnlich? Nicht viel, bis auf die Tatsache, das sie unserer eigenen Unfähigkeit, die Interessen des Anderen zu sehen und Frieden zu halten, als Projektionsfläche dienen. Sie sind die Spitzen, wir die Eisberge. Tragt sie ab und ein anderer hässlicher Teil von uns wird an die Oberfläche geschoben.

Geht in euch und bekämpft das Böse nicht in anderen.

@MechaSilvio It’s almost like having two giant silicon valley companies control the entire app space is a bad idea or something.

> In the end, it's better to trust retards on fedi than the psychopaths on the media.

This is the best sentence.
