Yeah, archive.today came out of gamergate, so there’s a very good chance that the owner sees their mission as being to help jumpstart fascism. In a world where the truth is paywalled but the lies are free, becoming more useful on the left might have been a real problem for them.

The problem that web.archive.org and ghostarchive.org both have is that they regularly fail to archive content

What happened is that the skill requied to manufacture a lower receiver out of metal dropped quite sharply, enabling a large number of people to make weapons without serial numbers

Printing isn’t enough, but it’s a piece of what needs to happen.

Its hard to import them in quantities of a few hundred thousand, and cheaper to print them than to buy in quantities of a hundred

Literally happening at scale already. Its not yet full victory, but it slows down ICE and limits their ability to take people at random

Intentional deescalation does more right now than having the people closest to ICE or Border Patrol agents carrying weapons.

The standard for now is that responders with guns stay back to deter massacres.

Yeah, it takes something like the California data brokers opt out to do that.

Or actively poisoning their data sets at scale

ICE regularly uses fake license plates. You can do a bit, in that they dont swap constantly, but its not going to be as good as the tracking of private citizens

No idea what level of defense is actually necessary; not having a phone, or any bills or official correspondence sent in your name to your home will suffice, but I don’t know what it takes which is less than that

I suspect they’re depending on data brokers who collect name and location from 3rd party apps. Set up fakes of a bunch of their metrics sending data, and you can fill it with junk

California has a universal opt-out for data brokers now
