    Unless your prep includes “fight against it politically, tooth and nail,” you’re only delaying the inevitable.

    There is no such thing as a technological solution to what is fundamentally a political problem. Ultimately, the fascists pushing this shit have to be destroyed or they will destroy us.

  • Linux and degoogle your phone.

    Put tailsOS onto a thumbdrive as a backup encase of VPN blockage.

    Is your Lemmy instance in a country likely to use age verification?

    Get away from big social media. Read about how the kids in Australia are staying on social media after the ban.

    Free yourself from digital “bigtech” dependence which might be affected. Make peace with inconvienience.

    Right? Not very concrete though. Anything else?

      It’s inevitable that complete dominance is coming. It’s clear. Eventually one will either have to use their bullshit or they won’t be able to exist in “modern” society.

      People need to realize the name of the game being played is conquest, it’s not for the good of humanity, it’s for ownership. “We” conquested animals, natives, etc… authentic genuine humans are next. Authentic humanity needs to stop denying that humanity itself, as a whole is part of the game. We aren’t special. Humanity will be conquested and you will either be in or out. And the divide will be like the difference of upperclass Manhattan and skid row. …Or worse… maybe a concentration camp.

      And we are still funding that dream today like fools.

    Get a tor browser lined up. You likely already have a VPN or won’t get one anytime soon, but tor is free. Three letter agencies have bought poisoned nodes but probably not enough of them, so this will give you a temp way around surveillance and VPN bans. Might be better if you set your entry nodes outside of 14 eyes countries.

    If you haven’t already, chuck linux onto some laptop/pc. In the future we may have OS level age verification needed and linux should be more immune
