    He didn’t really get “assassinated”. He just got denied his critical-life benefits.

    It’s one thing to mock it on pseudonymous platforms like Reddit and the fediverse.

    It’s another to do it somewhere linked to your real name and job like LinkedIn.

    People really hate insurance companies.

      People are too hung up about anonimity on the internet. When one of my country’s worst journalistic shitrags mandated a real name policy due to the rampant racism and other -isms in the comment section of their articles… nothing changed. People are happily spewing the same vile rethoric as before and proud to, instead of being shamed into silence.

      Don’t do it under your names folks, regime will be making lists based on this.

      They are scared and they will lash out.

      With that being said, fuck that parasite.

        You think having a fake online name will stop them from finding out who you are? Did you even pay attention to the Snowden leaks?

          Make them spend more resources doing deanonymizations. First they have to get the IP from instance admins, then trace the tor routing, then the VPN that I use, then ask for my ISP. Make them do all that work.

          (Or maybe they already have access by simply activating their backdoors within Intel ME, AMD PSP, and whatever baseband backdoor on the phones they have, and have just gotten everyone’s real identities in an instant, we can’t know for sure.)

            They also have backdoors in most implementations of TLS, according to a person I know who worked government security.

              I work in cryptography, and I guarantee if that’s true “some person you know who worked in government security” would not tell you if they did know, or they are pulling shit out of their ass. There have been so many people that have looked at or worked on SSL/TLS implementations (including some of my coworkers), any vulnerabilities would have to be pretty subtle or clever, and that would be kept highly classified. Quit making shit up or repeating bullshit you heard.

                Sure, if we’re talking about code vulnerabilities only. It’s most likely a compromised root cert though.

                  That just would allow a malicious attacker to fake being the server, it doesn’t actually compromise the TLS session. So you are talking about a much more sophisticated multi stage attack that needs to be actively executed. This wouldn’t at all allow them to record traffic and decrypt later.

                  The certs authenticate that you are talking to the real server, the symmetric session keys that are usually derived from a diffie helman key exchange have nothing to do with certs. That’s two separate (but connected) parts of the transaction to build a TLS session.

      LinkedIn is one of the least sane social media sites I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. Under all the marketing BS and obviously fake feel good stories lie takes that would make your insane Facebook uncle blush.

    What I like about this moment is that the people who ought to be fearful are indeed the ones who are fearful. I mean shit, Elon is posting Tweets about how great CEOs are actually, health insurance companies are removing pages from their websites that identify leadership, it’s a lovely little pocket of schadenfreude where we can all take a breath and prepare for the next 4 years.

        They couldn’t even hunker down in their mansions for two weeks of Covid lockdown.

        They like to fantasize about it, but the reality of living like that will hit them fast.

      These parasites know that we got numbers on our side and we permit their rule by and large…

      I don’t think this corp of owners realize that plebs can turn on a dime, they got too comfortable. This is a wake up call.

      Having their goon wacked like this got to make them feels a certain way hehe

      Maybe some future school shooter wannabe will notice that they barely even report on school shootings anymore, and Uvalde even reelected the piece of shit sheriff that let all those kids die. Maybe they will see this shooter being treated like some kind of hero, and decide to hunt Billionaires or CEOs instead.
      After enough of those, the world will be drastically improved, or the surviving billionaires will finally bring about some real gun control legislation.

        Even if he did, any funds would be frozen. A Monero Address would be a better way of receiving money.

        Edit: Mind you, I expect him to very soon be arrested, so he wouldn’t really have any time to enjoy it.

        Edit 2: Look up Jim Bell. He wrote a very popular essay in the 90s.

          This is one of the things that scares me about most about completely anonymous currencies and networks: untraceable kill orders and, to a lesser extent, unlimited bribery (that already exists in US). Because you know, it opens the most possibilities to people with money. Like billionaires.

            I suspect billionaires and other people of high authority, especially, would be the first ones on the list. But your average everyday person is very unlikely to be on the list because they don’t have enough people who hate them.

    You know what’s pretty neat about this?

    It’s not mob justice. Mob justice is when people get together and come up with bad ideas. This is an individual that the public has now rallied around.

    While we only see comments from a select few number of people in this country (relative to it’s size of 350m) it seems that democracy is voicing itself. I know a lot of people who were initially shocked, but then quickly came to the conclusion that FAFO is a real thing.

    And health insurance companies have done a lot of fucking around.

      “Mob justice” is a boogeyman invented to distract you from the fact that the cops and the state give you no justice at all.
