  • But you also have to consider the "court of public opinion"

    Funding a foreign assassination attempt will only unite all of the right-of-center and take away some of support of "centrist"/"conservative" democrats. Bush popularity skyrocketed after 9/11, Patriot Act and all that.

    On the otherhand, some right wing nutjob young adult loser having nothing to lose and start targeting policitians left and right (like that kid in 2024), would be your best bet. There won't be any "rally 'round the flag" effect.

    As we can all see with all the US interventions overseas, they clearly don't work that well, that principle also goes if Iran tries to do their intervention in the US.

    And if you aren't in the US, I'm not sure you wanna risk extradition. Donating money to an Iran sponsored assassination campaign is not an internet meme.

    I mean, sure if Europeans wanna send an the military to liberate the US, go ahead. But that €5 donation to an Iranian asasination campaign isn't really gonna change the US by much and would only put yourself on an extradition plane to the US, because this isn't a meme, you're giving material support, so I doubt any of the western countries would deny an extradition request for material support. And even if that plan goes into fruition, you might make the US even worse and in turn, the US could start fucking up the world even more.

    Again, I'm not arguing against violence as a strategy, but you're expecting nazis to be defeated simply by killing hitler, its not that simple.

  • Because the US has intervened in the middle east for a long time before 9/11 and it was actuallt said to be bin laden's motivation to attack the US. Look at what happened after 9/11; article 5 was triggered. They didn't seem to think the US interventions in the middle east were a "provocation".

  • Bad idea if you live in a country with extradition treaty with the US.

    You could end up in gitmo for "providing material support to terrorist activity", because that is technically what you are doing, money is material support.

    I can't tell you what to do, but like if Iran actually manage to do it, it would be the best excuse to get Iran obliterated from the map, and most NATO countries will probably help with the invasion of Iran under Article 5, since that's effectively like a 9/11 v2 (not in number of deaths, but in terms of being able to justify a foreign war).

    Iran performing the assassination is 100x worse than, say that nutjob in 2024 doing it. If trump die from that kid's gunshot, there wouldn't be much happening, but if Iran did it? In this tense political climate where 1/3 of the US population are in a cult? Can you even imagine all the lynchings against Muslims, Arabs, and anyone who "looks middle eastern"?

    Any soldiers or national guard that was bordering on "hmm, is this actually legal", will now not even question their orders. Being anti-trump in the aftermath of this hypothetical assassination would be treated as almost as bad as supporting al-qaeda.

    Its not a good idea, IMO.

  • BRIAR IS NOT ANONYMOUS

    Its for censorship resistance, but, in order for the mesh network to be able to identify each other's device and initiate connections, by design it transmits your bluetooth MAC address to all your contacts, even those added via the internet.

  • FYI the Pixel codes being closed sourced also affect every custom ROM that runs on pixels, not just Graphene OS. If you are already on Pixel, just keep using GrapheneOS.

    Like... your device wont magically become insecure, but as time goes on, there will be firmware level exploits that the GrapheneOS team can't easily patch because they'll need to spend time to reverse engineer it.

  • Just flash CalyxOS, it wouldn't matter which version (e/os or standard Fairphone) you get, so just get the cheaper version (usually the non-Murena version is cheaper)

    Unless you are willing to buy a Pixel in order to use GrapheneOS (now with the Pixel device-specific code being closed sourced, probably don't do that), I think Fairphone is still the best option if the carriers in your country support it. I mean, its the only one I know of besides Pixel that supports re-lockable bootloaders while running an alternate OS, very important for security.
