特朗普试图通过残暴的关税来实现美国的再工业化。
他的计划很可能会彻底失败。尽管现在还不能确定，但事情绝对不是这些天里人们所谈论的那样 …

Reading Marx is like unearthing the Necronomicon in a university library, a forbidden text that lays bare capitalism's inner workings.

But the true horror lies in realizing you're surrounded by people who treat exploitation as 'just how things work.' Suddenly the world reveals itself as a self-sustaining asylum, where the so-called 'rational' diligently reproduce the madness of the system.

The Atlantic just sent out this article, speculating why the stock market is behaving the way it is. I may be wrong, but it seems like NOW is the time for a General Strike. Perhaps hand in hand with a mass withdrawal from "passive investors" like Vanguard, the American people can reign in this runaway machine.

"As the stock market soars ever higher, the theories of why it rises have suffered the opposite fate. One by one, every favored explanation of what could be going on has been undermined by world events. The uncomfortable fact about the historic stock-market run is that no one really knows why it’s happening—or what could bring it to an end."

"The explosion of passive funds over the past 15 years could explain why the market has become less sensitive to real-world downturns, more likely to keep going up no matter what, and dominated by a handful of giant companies. Or that theory could end up being disproved by unforeseen events. It wouldn’t be the first."

Ok, let’s check out this Wired article about vibe coding:

> “One engineer at Notion compared the economic panic of this AI era to when the compiler was first introduced. The idea that one person will suddenly do the work of 100 programmers should be inverted, he said…”

That sounds great! One person will be able to perform labor that previously required 100 people to complete! Surely this will facilitate a radical reformulation of the way we work, freeing us to do so many other things!

> “…instead, every programmer will be 100 times as productive. His manager agreed: ‘Yeah, as a manager I would say, like—everybody’s just doing more,’ she said.”

Oh haha right, #capitalism.

Privacy is a human right, but getting more people to care about it is frankly (and literally!) a full-time job.

2025 has seen some of the worst attacks on privacy to date, and it has also represented the greatest commitment to our work our team has ever made.

Going into 2026 and beyond, we really need the support from all of our followers to keep our staff fed & housed and to keep our momentum going.

Your membership will directly support @Em0nM4stodon's writing work, @jw's top-quality video content, and @kevpham's work keeping our daily tasks on point. It also helps us find the best guest contributors, and review paid products completely independently.

If we've put out anything you've found helpful this year, this will determine the future of that work. Please read my message on our forum for more info:

2025 has been a crazy year for Privacy Guides.

In just 9 months we’ve published 15 videos, 21 articles, and we’ve pushed releases to the privacyguides.org website 13 times, with each release typically containing 10–25+ PR submissions from our team and volunteers. Since only July we’ve hosted 10 livestreams of our revived podcast, and there are plenty more on the way.

Since December, 3700+ more people have followed us on Mastodon, and about the same number have subscribed to our new YouTube channel. There are 200 per week more active users on our forum, and pageviews across all our sites have well more than doubled.

All of this is to say that people care about privacy a lot, and I believe we set the example in this space. While other “cybersecurity influencers” promote one-size-fits-all advice, we focus on practical and nuanced recommendations that account for the complexity of your personal situation.

To be real with all of you, the reason all of this is possible is because we hired 3 people to work on a regular basis at the beginning of this year.

Our volunteer team, moderators, and this community have all been doing exceptional work since 2021 which has established the foundation for all of this.

However, the reality is that to get this fantastic content out there and in front of people, there has to be a team doing work day in and day out to stay on top of the news feeds and create content that sticks with people and informs newcomers about why this all matters.

ALT

Our greatest strength is that we have no sponsors or affiliates. We have sent thousands of new subscribers to subscriptions for tools like Proton Mail/VPN, MySudo, Ente, and so many other privacy tools, and we do it purely because we believe in these tools and want them to succeed.

Frankly, many of the companies we recommend regularly send hundreds or thousands in affiliate dollars to other channels that give them far less traffic, while rarely if ever voluntarily making a donation to support our work.

Our choice to only receive income from the people who directly support our work makes us virtually the only review team in this space which has no reliance on the companies we recommend.

We have a handful of regular supporters who we are very grateful for, and we have received a very small number of very generous one-time donations which have made all of our work over the past year possible.

However, one-time donations dry up, and if we want to maintain our great momentum in 2026 and onward, we simply need people to make this work sustainable and give our team the safety of monthly recurring revenue.

ALT

My personal goal is for our membership program to give our members far more value than you will get from any other ~$10/month Patreon or subscription service from other YouTubers, podcasters, and writers in the personal privacy space.

I want anyone pushing privacy forward to be hugely successful, but to tell you the truth, I personally believe we are creating the best content in this space right now, and I hope that you trust Privacy Guides to publish the best version of this information as well.

Going forward, some of the content that we pay to produce will probably have to be restricted to people who are willing to pay for that content in return. Our members will also receive:

Early access to new videos on our channel
Priority Q&A responses on This Week in Privacy
Recognition on our forum and website
Priority response to comments on our articles/videos

We are also constantly considering new ideas in the team and from our members. Part of my commitment to make sure you can get the highest quality version from the Privacy Guides team of anything you can find from anyone else is to work with you all to decide what direction we should go in here.

Some other things we are considering include members-only forums and group chats, more detailed news reports about privacy tools and companies, private chats with team members, or free merch for our supporters. If any of this interests you, or if there’s something else you might want, please let us know.

I want to propose Commons Based Peer Production as an economic model capable of representing #opensource work, #carework, #volunteering and similar efforts, where traditional #capitalism can not.

Would this allow us to describe a path towards a #solarpunk #postscarcity future?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mstarace/116091556000456915

Folks, yes, corporate US media is largely going along. But, even worse, they have been going along for many decades. I know I keep bringing up Zinn's People's History and I'm going to continue because he details this over and over in the book. Others have as well. The US media system has, as a rule, gone along with the establishment for decades. Every US foreign aggression, and foreign policy in general, gets approval from establishment media. Most domestic news is covered with a persistent lack of critique of the long running establishment, the capitalist class.

The linked essay is great except in its pretending that the #resistance to #fascism is a defense of #democracy. No, it's opposition to overt fascism. But the framework of any #liberal world view, even #progressive, that describes the previous norm as #democratic is a failure. Establishment government is corporatism, an illusion meant to capture our energy and dissuade us from real #struggle.
