[FRIAM] adversarial networks

[uǝlƃ ☤>$]

While it can be tempting to read articles like this as:

Top Republicans rub shoulders with extremists in secretive rightwing group, leak reveals
https://ddosecrets.substack.com/p/epikfail-anonymous-gab-hacktivism

an invocation of the long-term and widespread planning and execution of organizations like conservative think tanks, ALEC, various gerrymandering schemes, etc, it's important to read the article carefully for evidence of the organizing ability of the opposing team (who's the red team here?).

In that article, we see DDOSecrets mentioned. Their latest contribution to the health of the world is here: https://ddosecrets.substack.com/p/epikfail-anonymous-gab-hacktivism. Following on the buffering construct Marcus introduced, the panmixia of neoliberalism, and the ongoing meta-discussion of the hyperconnected world (from the body dysmorphia of Instagram to the reactionary response to vaccine mandates), including some people's insistence that posts to FriAM need salutations like old-timey letters, there's a deep fluidity lurking underneath us.

DDOSecret recommends the Secure Drop from an arguably elitist, and arguably obsolete, institution:

It all brings back, to me, the old Pete Seeger song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXd-wtZpLQg

For those of you who reject postmodernism (or responded well to EricC's recent 2-sides comic), if you have a clue to where the lines between the sides are ... or even how many sides there actually are to this strange, aperiodic crystal, the Towlies amongst us would appreciate a clue.
