"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I find it curious hoe many big corpos maintain .onion services such as reddit and meta (with facebook)

Also, many nodes pass through countries such as the US, UK, DEU, NL and so on.

My rule of thumb is that if something is allowed to operate and exist in the imperial core that goes a bit counterintuitive to bourgeois class goals (specially today with surveillance) then it must have another purpose not easily discovered by the public.

Electronic warfare and C&C military technologies are leagues better than they were in 2002, so I’m not entirely sure that a lot of the asymmetric tactics Van Riper used would be of much use, especially in light of immense leaps in satellite imaging, radar tracking, and telecommunications technologies. The reason Riper discarded his electronic technologies was because his forces were expected to deploy antiquated Soviet C&C and radar systems, which in comparison with modern electronic warfare equipment wasn’t only a hinderance, but a liability.

The opposing general was also incredibly stupid and Riper exploited said stupidity excellently. Especially by pressing Blue team forces up against shipping lanes which prevented the fleet’s CWIS, Sea Sparrow, and other close-in weapons defense platforms from tracking incoming ordnance as the chance of locking neutral shipping or passenger liners was high.

Realistically, wouldn't those shipping lanes be diverted/closed? I dunno if a cruiseliner is floating along an active war-zone but I could be wrong, honestly.

You are right, but you get the point. I am sure anti-surveillance tactics have improved themselves since 2002.
