True... I guess I'm not too knowledgeable about the situation in Australia. How would the US approach them and what legal avenues for resistance exist?

They're not a fascist government but they also don't seem to have the same free speech protections the US does. Not that that has helped us much,

Cool story. I have no idea why you are reacting this way. If you wanted to give me feedback so I behave better this is useless.

Commenter literally posted the same non-reply twice. I was trying to be as polite as possible but what else can I even say?

Forgot England and their wigs.

All the more reason to be on a non-US based server right now.

Worth noting that a lot of their subpoenas are BS though and could be fought successfully. Big tech is too scared to do even minor things to protect their users because the regime will retaliate in other ways that could cost them money. Small hobby servers don't have the same avenue of attack, although they might be more vulnerable in other ways.

I often wonder if DHS is aware of the threadiverse. I would assume so but who knows? At least I don't think our admins would cooperate with them for the most part.

What else do you want to know? I explained as clearly as I can.

Yeah. This is super interesting but this was always a concern I had of this project, which has the potential to be great but is also so large it almost borders on geoengineering. Changes in water distribution could be good but I'd say they're a bit more likely to cause harm than help.

I'm ready to try anything at this point.

My personal view is campism is a stage 4 terminal tumor on leftist thought. So I'll stick with no in both cases. I support BDS.

The US is also a major economy that trades with every country in a substantial way. So do you find its trade with Israel acceptable, as I thought you were implying about China?

Should we excuse the US by the same logic then?

These aren't real subpoenas. They're just paperwork filled out by DHS to justify their own violence and authority. They're totally illegitimate and they just call them subpoena's in a (mostly successful) attempt to fabricate legal authority from thin air.
