I have Iranian and Chinese colleagues who still manage to visit dissident websites in their home countries. If there is a will there is a way and the piratebay is still up after a 20 year witch hunt. Hopefully MAGA will learn that cucking doesn't work. No matter how hard you cuck they will still come for you so there is no point in cucking. Hopefully they will start acting and behaving like dissidents and get that mindset.

This is also a great opportunity for us. They got kicked out of their platforms and their users have to find a new home. Their services aren't used to being deplatformed. TRS, counter-currents and daily stormer are used to being deplatformed and will have an easier time surviving. Hopefully many from the MAGA crowd will land there.

Is Anglin back from visiting Uncle A in the Jungles of South America or is he still running from the feds over this stupid "inciting violence" bullshit?

Dunno, I always took it when he said he was in Nigeria as a meme. It's clear he's out of cash, so I don't know how he's managed to stay online and avoid the feds for so long.

I'm sure the Nigeria thing is a meme but I wouldn't doubt he's also seriously on the run from the feds. Afaik they haven't mentioned him directly, however they are always eager to silence dissent, so it isn't really a difficult jump to assume they are after him for some reason or another. I haven't read much Stormer lately, but it doesn't surprise me he's strapped for cash, it seems quite expensive to run such a site when you're in practically everyone's crosshairs.

However, and I say this in the most positive way, Anglin is like a "Nuclear cockroach" in a way, whenever it seems the Stormer or he himself is in inescapable danger, he always seems to pull through by some fluke.

I know this is going to sound like a huge cope, and it probably is, but there is a silver lining to this. Casuals are increasingly going to be disconnected from the dissident sphere due to the huge censorship drive and police state crackdown. From here on out, its going to be ride and die niggas, and those who are fanatical and serious enough to make concerted efforts for the cause.

In a way that's better. Its better to have 5% of the population on your side who are dead serious and fanatical, than it is to have 20% of the population on your side but they're casual or are unwilling to take serious risks

Great article from our friend Anglin about what it takes to stay on the Internet as a dissident.
