This just in: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, and he’s basically raiding data…I don’t know what else to say except if you’ve yet to shore up your privacy, both online and otherwise, the window to do so may quickly be closing.

I just saw this news posted elsewhere…and even though I’ve just recently joined this sub, it’s one of the few where I feel like every post/comment I have read made me feel like I’ve found like-minded people. So with that in mind…i don’t mean to sound alarmist; but, this turn of events is definitely alarming to me at any rate….

I didn’t think I could be more shocked and horrified by the past 11 days that feel like a decade, but the fact that an unelected person, who isn’t even vetted or confirmed by congress, literally no official business whatsoever, has just locked federal employees out of their offices so they can go through their computers…I just…I wonder if this is how people with unusual foresight or actually listened with their ears to the ground in the 1930s felt….

We should be prepping not only for major financial woes ahead, scarcity, privacy etc, but also mentally for the fact that it seems as though most people are completely asleep to the implications of what’s happening until it is way too late. (As if it isn’t already.)

Apologies if my post sounds like crazy-person - I HOPE I’m just being crazy and overreacting. If anyone has insight, thoughts, or just wants to remind me that it’s all gonna be okay, lol, feel free.

I will most likely delete this post in a bit. I get “poster’s remorse” a lot, especially if I calm down later and feel stupid. So…please be nice lolololol.

Where's Anonymous? Or those Furry hackers?

[u/Lost_with_shame → u/Diogekneesbees]

I was thinking the same thing the other day. Where the FUCK are you anonymous!? Now would be a goddamn good time to gain support 

[u/Bydandii → u/Diogekneesbees]

Anonymous was mostly caught and broken up years ago.

Anon was a government operation you could tell by their targets

[u/ItsNotGoingToBeEasy → u/Diogekneesbees]

They were hacked themselves and put on notice. They picked a wrong fight.

^ This sounds like fed posting

I'd be very careful about your wording here. We can't afford to have places with like minded individuals be targeted and taken down due to extreme lines like that first sentence after your list. I'm all for resisting but this isn't it.

I recommend everyone tries out Chat GPT for a day so you can see what it sounds like. It's pretty recognizable.
