Russia has blocked the web anonymity service TOR, the RBC business daily reported Wednesday, citing state communications watchdog Roskomnadzor, in what activists warn is part of an effort to restrict internet freedom within the country.

Isavnin said Russia is moving closer toward implementing its so-called sovereign internet that will allow the country to cut itself off from the rest of the World Wide Web.

This is scary as hell. Tough times are ahead for us all, indeed.

Indeed. I remember their big test run from a few years ago.

Are we now close to the times where one can again make a decent living smuggling Levi's jeans into Russia? Or just regular plain war?

this is the worst news I've heard in a long time - perhaps worse than covid-19. I had hoped Russia would be the one place white people could emigrate to when their own countries took away their freedoms. Well, Russia never changed its habit of treating its people like serfs, I guess. Mother Russia was, and still is I guess, the mother who abuses and neglects her children.

No white supremacist comments, this is the last warning you'll get.

You are funny. I usually date N.E. Asian men, so hardly think of myself of a white supremacist. My landlord was born and raised in China. My fridge or pantry are chock full of east Asian foods. I can speak a bit of Japanese and lived there for a short while - with my Japanese BF...who I moved there for. He called me "henna gaijin" which means I am not like other Americans or foreigners (whites), because I loved the Japanese culture and wasn't "too" American. I simply think it is best for whites to stop moving to nonwhite countries and I happen to know that many nonwhites agree with me on that. My grandmother was Polish - moved to the USA in her early 20s. I am a big advocate of a Slavic Union so that the Slavic ethnicity has protection from other countries who keep invading them. People really jump to conclusions, don't they?!

Just listing off your associations with other cultures (sounds more like a fetish, but I digress), does not mean you're not racist. You can like another race's culure and still think they're inferior. Your backpedaling comes off a lot like "I can't be racist cause I have black friends". Check yourself.

ok. i am a racist with a fetish. you found me out. by comparison, i bet you feel like quite the angel, huh

Actually, compared to that statement, I am.

I physically cringed while reading this. It sounds more like a copypasta and I'm still holding out hope that it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

it can't be if I don't know what a copypasta is
