The Chinese be like: 真的吗？就在我的蟹肉馄饨面前。

Beep boop beep- I mean… a frappecino please.

Ee-ay-ew-ay-o?

…Jay-Z went to Jeffrey Epstein parties. Wtf did you expect?

New bargaining chip at the table: his balls and a tenderizer on a wooden slab.

Let us commence the negotiations.

“Well you tell that bastard Climate Change that I’m going to find him and tally his Wacker!”

I think he was wearing a coat, a hat and had a shit eating mustache. If we split up, one of us is bound to find him and can holler so the rest will come running. If nobody finds the bastard within the hour, we’ll regroup at the bar.

Somebody let’s out a badly timed “Good job, everybody.”

Trump: *gives Musk favour*

Teh Zuck: Wat about me daddy UwU

Wow, Americans really gonna kill American hegemony themselves. Like “fuck it, you oligarchs wanna fuck around?! Ni hau, mf. Time to find out.”

Trump would sell NFTs of the ash mounds found in LA, then rug pull and move the assets to the Cayman Islands.

Ask your mom. I heard she’s a mod, which means SHE’S GAY.

I would also accept “Mark Zuckerberg collects Tellitubbie porn and sex toys, complete with Tinkie Winkie custom that has an anal vibrator built-in dubbed the Twinkie Winkie suit that he wears when he bottoms at the local republican orgy.”

There’s a barrier to entry in those cases. If you’re DNS actively reroutes people are mostly inclined not to try and figure out a way to bypass it - unless bothered, like we see with the porn access law in Florida.

In any case, you can do packet dropping on a routing level from the ISP - which technically isn’t a national firewall, even if it serves the same purpose.

Segmenting the internet means doing routing in a way where the link between nodes is actively blocked, which is something completely different and is more what you’ll get behind the Chinese “firewall” - when it is more like a physical barrier than a firewall rule, because it’ll be impossible to actually facilitate a manual link, whereas a DNS blocking can be more easily bypassed.

There’s level to these problems and just having a “national firewall” means nothing, because it doesn’t get down to the minutia of what’s actually being achieved.

You don’t know and yet you pipe up. There’s a logical fallacy in there somewhere.

Translated from Japanese:

"I’m telling you, Shinjiro, this nuclear stuff I got from that Kenyan who couldn’t pay is harder to shake than shit after over eating pork buns. But, I think I may have a buyer down the line. I just told them I’m Iranian and looking for serious buyers only. They want to meet me at the local McDonald’s, which is weird, but I guess it’s as good a meeting place as any "

I’m sorry to say this, but the web ≠ the internet and foreign services ≠ the internet. If it was a question of starting massive invasive national firewalls, or segmenting the national net away from the wider internet through either routing or physical separation, then we are in agreement.

But tbh Twitter and Meta’s platforms should be carpet banned from Europe. Reddit can stay, and so can TikTok, but after the history both Mega and Musk’s Twitter has had, I think it’s perfectly defensible to tell them to fuck off - especially when they target vulnerable people who are impressionable, like the elderly.

And please, no American “slippery slope” argument, because it should be added to the logical fallacies list.

…hail satan.
