hecatoncheires··on Kiwi Farms is down across all domains as DDoS-Guard terminates service
> combat footage is a popular sub that's basically just watching brown people get bombed

That's a reeeeach. I've been subbed there since 2013 and there were also many contemporary posts of white Americans (because that's disproportionately who serves and dies in combat) and European service members being shot and blown up by IEDs and so forth in GWOT (although the votes and comments were more controversial).

The war in Donbas also yielded plenty of footage of white casualties. And now the latest Ukrainian conflict.

The most controversial time on the sub was when ISIS was at their peak and people were straight posting their propaganda (executions and so forth). That was all disallowed unless it was only traditional combat footage, preferably with nasheeds stripped out. If the sub was about enjoying brown death that carnage would've been allowed.

If Reddit were materialists to that degree then they wouldn't have banned popular gore subs.

It's more likely the sub taps into a vein of black culture that happens to be interwoven with some violence, and Reddit tolerates it because they don't want to be seen as trampling out anything to do with black culture.

Now if there were a sub dedicated to a popular genre of exclusively white musicians who occasionally livestream themselves murdering their white "opps," Reddit would ban it in a heartbeat under their "glorifying violence" ToS policy

Wrong, Reddit explicitly allows hate speech against white people because it follows the nouveau definition of "racism" not including whites. There's a Reddit admin response to repeated requests to ban /r/FragileWhiteRedditor somewhere that outlines this.

> KiwiFarms does encourage everything that happens on it

Wrong. The admin, Null, has explicitly said they don't allow doxxing or swatting and complies with law enforcement

> If you're going to take a strawman this far, blame the cellphone and camera manufacturers involved in those live streams. As well as the landlord who owned the building it happened in. And any restaurants that serve them, can't murder if you don't eat.

That's cute but what you're describing as absurd is basically what Keffals et al are doing with this website by hounding every service they tangentially use to get them banned. If they could make the site operator unbankable or unable to receive postal mail it's pretty obvious they gladly would

Whoop tee doo. I've seen dozens of livestreamed murders on Instagram Live and Facebook Live. Reddit has /r/chiraqology where there are hundreds of videos of gang bangers and drill rappers beefing with each other and shooting at each other, and commenters celebrate the lifestyle and keep detailed ontologies of it all.

Nobody is talking about nuking any of these platforms from existence just because of some isolated illegal incidents.

hecatoncheires··on Cloudflare's abuse policies and approach
You seem to be operating under a definition of "white supremacy" that is at least 5 years out of date.

You see "whiteness" is an illness that uniquely afflicts white people, and causes them to act in their group's self-interest (which is only bad for white people as we all know). Unless you fight against this urge by being actively "anti-racist," i.e. agitating for the benefit of non-white people, then you are a white supremacist (because by simply existing as a passive not-racist white person, you are supporting the white supremacist superstructure).

> terrorist groups that fester through spreading conspiracies about other races and peoples and want nothing less than ethnic cleansing

Given the above definition who exactly is spreading conspiracies about races and agitating for ethnic cleansing? Who is inculcating white children with self-hatred?

Spend 10 minutes on TikTok listening to POCs talk about "palm-handed" people, "mayo demons," colonizers etc. with billions of views and the support of academic, media and corporate orthodoxy, and compare that to some basement dwellers at Stormfront most people have never heard of. Should TikTok be banned?

hecatoncheires··on Twitter's new Tor onion service
Twitter literally banned the sitting President of the United States, a Republican. Other Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene have had their accounts banned, while this has never happened to a Democrat. People were banned for questioning COVID (e.g. the lab leak hypothesis), banned for questioning the 2020 Presidential election's integrity (yet nobody was banned for speculating on Russian interference and calling Trump illegitimate in 2016), banned for misgendering or deadnaming transgenders. Conveniently all the wrongthink that fall squarely in opposition to progressive ideology.

I don't think anyone believes there's a secret conspiracy, it's more that the type of people who work in programming, and particularly for a Bay Area company like Twitter, tend to be very progressive. It's the same miasma that clouds the mainstream media, academia, and now most corporate PR.

It's more the abdication of critical gov't leadership during a global shipping crisis that people are unhappy with.

So you give the example of Britain plundering India. Explain to me why Indians in America are the most successful ethnic group in the country then, at almost twice the median income of white people?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_U...

By your logic of white "holy ground" whites should obviously be at the top of the list, no? Instead Indians and East Asians are.

hecatoncheires··on WARP is here
Sorry but when it comes to VPN providers you have to have a pristine track record, not a couple whoopsies here and there. And I doubt that grand total is going to stay stuck at two when they're hiring Antifa supporters/members.

If I were to use a VPN I'd stick with providers with proven track records of responding to court orders with empty logs, not the company with a CEO who capriciously kicks sites off their platform in response to online mobs.

I'd also feel very uneasy with continuing to feed the consolidation of the internet's traffic. Giving full control of your phone's routing to Cloudflare is sold as improving performance, but what it also does is give Cloudflare a lot of flexibility to pay less in transit costs and have a stronger position for peering agreements. Today that might be good in preventing ISP shakedowns, but very bad tomorrow if ISPs have to pay Cloudflare for the privilege of accessing the majority of the internet.
