He has donated to Cuba multiple times, he’s an American, and he’s an atheist.

It’s pretty clear you’re incredibly racist. I hope you get help for that, sincerely. The world is better off when people like you get better.

But how does a VPN prevent those things?

Alone, it’s not the most effective, like the lock on your front door handle. Like the lock on your front door handle, it only keeps out the honest criminals.

Your Advertising profile, in the US the most common one is your Credit/Consumer Profile, tracks your ip address, browsing habits (through super cookies/app sniffing), and your overall fingerprint on the internet. This means Google really does know you visited facebook 12857192 times in the last year, it knows you searched your old crush’s name, and it knows the size of the sex toy you most likely are to buy based on how many seconds you spent on sex-toys.jesus thanks to google analytics plugins tracking your ip address back to the same one you used on google, the same one you used on facebook, etc.

Giving them a common, easily searchable, easily provable (without a warrant) data point to tie all their other data points is literally doing their work for them, and is making them wealthier than all their other business ventures combined. If you use a vpn and regularly change your ip address, fingerprinting is harder. If you use a slightly hardened browser and/or mobile OS, fingerprinting is harder. The less information they have on you, the less information they can sell to the government without a warrant.

This is like if you had a magic button to change the license plate on your car. Flock would be worthless, for the most part. Yes Flock collects a lot of other data, but if you cannot tie that data confidently to a single user, it becomes useless and worthless.

Secondly, many VPNs do not keep logs, many do not run their software on persistent media whatsoever, preventing all possible warrant scenarios, even if they were in a country that was able to send them a warrant.

This prevents one data point in government tracking, the easiest one to explain to a judge. The easiest one to explain to a jury. If you make a comment on twitter that ICE doesn’t like, they will subpoena twitter for your ip, subpoena your ISP for your personal information, and then pay you a visit.

Guess what they have to do if you have a VPN? They have to subpoena twitter for your email/phone address/device ID/IMEI/etc, then, with varying levels of difficulty, all of which can be avoided using simple opsec tactics, subpoena all of those related companies, and then hope you used personal information like your personal IP when interacting with any of those services, and then pay you a visit if, with all this extra work ALL OF WHICH HAS A LAYER OF PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY THE MORE LAYERS YOU HAVE, convince a judge to let them pay you a visit.

Given how quickly it is becoming illegal to be trans in the united states, gay people aren’t far behind, and honestly anyone brown should already be on a vpn and have anonymized online accounts when posting, you should be working on reducing your fingerprint-ability via every means. Given you can get a vpn for 5 euros a month paid through monero, there’s no real excuse not to have that easy extra layer.

Sometimes I forget that Americans exist. Then people like you pop up and remind me.

The United States government, since the mid-1800s, and especially since their pets committed genocide in china in the 1940s, has spent more money spreading sinophobia than on propaganda against any other nation. https://www.jstor.org/stable/48823948

I miss when nazis were scared.

Obfuscation of your advertising/government profile and removal of corporate and government censorship (which now affects more than a quarter of Americans).

Those two things are valuable to the average person. Even the average American given how disliked the average American is by the current government and how many times in the last couple of years government agents have started to arrest people over twitter comments.

This is already the experience if you’re on a common VPN, which you should be if you live pretty much anywhere in the world.

Quite right. That is my bad for feeding the unproductive, unserious israeli troll farm agent.

Answering in good faith as someone recovering from homelessness, knowing this post is so severely downvoted and will probably be removed or ignored.

In your humble opinion, are the majority of the homeless people responsible for the situation they are in?

No.

For this and the rest of your questions there are 5 main types of ‘homeless’ and all categories below often find themselves into multiple of these categories the longer they are homeless.

Archetype 1, The Victim: Nearly all homeless technically fall into this category, but I’m going to define this as you did, ‘victim of circumstances outside of their control.’ All homeless start out like this. Either from being born mentally ill and no longer having care, losing a job, losing a house, running away from abusive parents, running away from other domestic violence, being a part of the foster care system, or getting addicted to drugs (most commonly through the opioid epidemic.) But to further clarify and deal with annoying people:

Archetype 2, The Mentally ill: American society specifically is not built to handle those that cannot help themselves. It is so violently against the chronically ill and mentally ill, that the majority of those suffering from severe illness of any type will end up homeless at some point during their lives (including ‘couch surfing’ as homeless). Most homeless people will eventually become mentally ill if they stay on the streets longer than six months. Given the lack of available reasonable resources to get out of homelessness, this is a large minority of The Victims.

Archetype 3, The Druggie: Drug addiction is a disease, a disease you are either genetically predisposed to, or not. It can start as a choice, but does not always start as a choice. Stopping is not a choice most can physically make. This, like all addictions, will only end when it is ended. Barring arguably divine intervention only hitting rock bottom and staying there can truly ‘cure’ someone of drug addiction. So once they reach the end of their grace with their loved ones and friends, they’re still alive, but cannot maintain enough free floating cash to maintain a home (if they could even qualify)

Archetype 4, The Victim, but old: In many parts of the country you cannot get a job past a certain age, you will be discriminated against. And it will be done automatically in a plausibly deniable way. This gap usually exists between 55 and 62. This is the age you are most like to become homeless for the first time as of 2020. You get laid off, you get fired, you get constructively let go, you don’t have social security, you don’t have a good enough body for general labor, you will be discriminated against severely by pretty much everyone hiring… and then you end up homeless. And until you get your social security, you will stay homeless, as older people (before social security age) are usually at the bottom of the list for grants (specifically older white men have the least available options and programs to help them out of homelessness).

Archetype 5, (Rare) (Epic) (Legendary) The Actually Prefers Homeless: Easily the 0.001% of homeless people. These are never the ones you have ever seen on a broadcast or news report, except when they rarely get caught. They don’t and won’t ever fully fit into society, as they fundamentally reject the concept. Everyone else can and has been cured before, this is the only archetype that ‘deserves’ to be homeless, because it is genuinely the only thing they want in life.

No, the implication makes no sense. Mao ZeDong, while he certainly was against killing landlords, quite famously so, still did not prosecute those that did because he understood the pain caused by the existence of the capital class, he lived it after all. Same with Xi, though he’s softer. Maduro also quite famously also went against landlords and other sources of mass suffering. So did Stalin.

Trump is a landlord, Hitler loved the concept of landlords and privatized a large majority of socialist Weimar, the Kochs are rent seekers, Putin is a rent seeker, Bolsanaro, famously is a rent seeker and tried privatizing brazil…

Lumping these individuals together in any list that is not ‘Men who lived’ is as silly as any possible list that includes Eva Braun, Hillary Clinton, and Malala.

Wow this is a weird comment, I wonder what other gems this user could have.

Not true, Islam has a problem of becoming militaristic since before the US existed. The berber tribes that took over medieval europe to the invasion by the Golden hoard. Have you actually read the Quran? It’s like 20 percent philosophy and 80 percent bragging about the wars Mohammed won. Feels more like a historian bragging about a friend he knows.

Wow. In any case besides the other user’s source, here’s more:

Turkey & Syria: https://www.imdb.com/news/ni63953887

Cuba: https://novaramedia.com/2026/03/16/aid-convoy-to-deliver-more-than-20-tonnes-of-food-and-medicine-to-cuba/

Ukraine: https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/03/10/twitch-streamers-russia-ukraine-hasan-cnn/

Least coherent list in world history.

Because their goal is not to be right. Sure, some of them genuinely do believe some of the things they say; but in general the point behind what they say is significantly more important and why they’re actually saying it.

In this case, this is a mix of Israeli racism and normal white people racism to further justify endless war in the middle east to fuel the doomsday cult.
