>>145864>Imagine being a fed trying to impress your friends with your badge and they say, "Wow! That's cool! What do you do?" and your answer is, "I shill BBC on 4/pol/."Wouldn't that be GCHQ / MI6, not the NSA / FBI?
>Something anons need to understand is that we're not talking about just one nation anymore. Our rulers have switched to globalist mode. We're talking about the combined WEF, Israel, and 14 Eyes. Their combined wealth and power is unfathomable.That's cool and all, but I literally do not fear it in the slightest. Not because they probably do exist, but because you can shut down remote power lines with a RC Helicopter, a rubber band and a piece of hooked metal wire, power transformers / fire hydrants are exposed pieces of critical infrastructure that are easy to locate, easy to destroy and annoying to replace, you can make napalm with nothing more than a bucket + gasoline + styrofoam, you can make a heat induction bomb with a metal piece of cutlery + some duct take + a gas cooker, and then there's the variety of screencapped wannabe retard /sci/entists that have tried to make DIY crystals over the years and ended up giving us cool recipes for nerve agents and mustard gas - among various other methods of greatly inconveniencing people higher up on the totem pole. Even without getting yourself involved with the-usually-illegal-to-view shit like the Anarchist's Cookbook, or the schematics to 3D printed guns.
The amount of completely legal resources the average civvie has at hand, paired with the absolute razor-edge that infrastructure is away from total implosion, and it's almost laughable to think that the tippy-top of the pile are the ones to fear. The biggest domestic attack in burger history cost $5,000 dollars to manufacture and made numerous obvious fuckups; against the infinite legal power + infinite money slush fund exploit that the feds are working with. The guy responsible for the biggest online black market in history almost got away with it just by using tor, at least if he didn't attach his name to his burners and leave his laptop unattended in a library. They can't monitor everyone, and they can't monitor everything. In fact, they probably get so caught up on the easy mask-off retards, that the "everyone else" part just slips their minds as normalcattle not worth the time of day. Blend in with the cattle without compromising yourself, and they just look right over you.
Marble columns might be strong and heavy, but one droplet of water in the right crack, at the right time, at the right temperature, followed by the lightest nudge - and it all starts tumbling down. Nothing lasts for ever. The Romans didn't, the Egyptians didn't, the Babylonians didn't, the Ancient Chinese didn't, the Spanish Empire didn't the British Empire didn't - and neither will Modern Climate of Globalist Neoliberalism. At the time, all of them were at the impossible-scope cutting edge of technology, ahead of any other known time in human history.
So when the system itself is so obviously decaying, the only thing you need is time, patience and timing.
Think of it this way. If a grand "They" do exist, and are all powerful, you have two options - live in fear, and do nothing, ensuring the grand "They" continue to exist, even as opportunities come and go. Or, carry on undeterred, and continue to wait on and prepare for an opening *(because the grand "They" are gonna getcha anyways, so what's the use in bothering being scared of them)*. Shit's like the boogieman as a kid. Or, if you're an edgy 00's radical atheist, God - because the fear of feds is the nu-age moral-consequence check for nu-age sinners, against the divine ordainment of Our Science™, Our Progress™, and Our Holy Democracy™.
Sure, I have no doubt the grand "They" exist in some capacity, but honestly, half of it's in the marketing, because it's cheaper to project an image of competence than keep 5,000+ retard feds under lock and key monitoring every possible potential threat imaginable + all the ongoing ops in the countries they're bombing. Look at how shit Apple is, yet how many normalfaggots think it's top-of-the-line tech because clever marketing. I'm sure the feds do indeed have many spr sekrit backdoors and keyloggers on all the major platforms you shouldn't use anyways because they're shit, but until you're on the level of international most wanted drug lord, the departments doing mass surveillance likely have neither the time, clearance nor expertise to use them until you're passed on up to the higher level tardwranglers. The only ones that seem to target Anonymous Imageboards are just the mudrakers getting some department numbers up to justify their salary and keeping an eye out for any manifestotards - bait some retard / underageb& into a honeypot, call it a fixed problem without needing to monitor every single user on every single thread on every single board on every single site. I mean, what do they get from all the effort of unmasking just one of >us? They find some twig-armed hapa NEET jacking off to Emma Watson with no intention of ever doing anything except illegally torrenting anime? And how is that easily distinguishable to the future revolutionary in the midsts on the surface? And that's just the low-hanging fruit users, let alone the advanced privacy schizos running fucking Linux Debian 9 proxy SuperTor on hardware secured whatevermajig - most of which are just paranoid tech nerds, and have nothing genuine to hide either.
Think the Broken Window Effect. Even if you're in a run down area, unless you see broken windows, crime doesn't proliferate. The moment one window smashes, they all start smashing because psychology or some shit and the crime rate goes up because people think they can get away with it - so it's important to cover up any fuckups, nice and out of sight, and maintain the veneer of "everything is fine". As long as the public think 14I's & the glowies are hypercompetant superduper haxxx0rs on steroids, that's exactly what they are to them, and not degenerating / rotting under the same effect as the outside world. Military performance is down across the board, and what, we're supposed to believe the mass surveillance division isn't succumbing to the same slow march of unearned / entitled / nepautistic boomers, jeets and troons in tech? Doesn't add up to me.
