When will DU be targeted? Or is this too kooky a question?

1. General Eisenhower has a girlfriend?

[ananda]

4. Actually, he did.

[yellow dahlia]

9. Good one!

[lastlib]

25. I was thinking Patton.....

They both work

[nuxvomica]

29. The "antifa girlfriend" is a recycling of the Epstein scandal

Bullshitting - imagination = projection.

[tetedur]

2. Trump even said some people that he has had dinner with will be targeted.

Can he do away with free speech? He has so many targets. Can he get around to them all?

[jls4561]

3. I want to go on record now: I think Trump is a bloated orange toad with execrable taste who has populated

his administration with flunkies, fluffers, psychopaths and men who worry incessantly about the size of their penis.

Come after me Trump. I will cash in my 401K and hire Roberta Kaplan (E. Jean Carrol’s lawyer).

I look forward to the discovery phase of the trial.

6. The orange Mussolini is destroying our democracy and country

With the help of his co-insurrectionists

[Silent Type]

5. Not likely.

[pbmus]

7. Sorry, Your confidence is not connected to reality !

[Silent Type]

8. Misplaced fear ain't helping either.

[pbmus]

10. Who said I was afraid....?

I am just pointing out the obvious , if you feel my post is weird, kooky or off TOPIC, make your alert

[Silent Type]

11. I don't alert, too much of that as is. Guess OP was not for discussion.

[ancianita]

13. Oh, please. This is trifling. Here are a couple of questions.

What reason(s) do you have to even think DU would be targeted?

What reason(s) do you have to think that DU hasn't already been targeted. Huh? Take your time.

[lastlib]

26. November 2016......

DU was offline for a full week, starting on Election Day, after a targeted denial of service attack by some cowardly human excrement.

Anybody think that wasn't done by The Felon and his goons (including Putin)?

[ancianita]

30. Nine years ago. I remember that. We've had 4 election cycles since 2016, and nothing but a few maintenance shutdowns,

as far as we've learned from Earl G.

So I'm in the 'not likely' camp because I see no reason(s) to think DU will be targeted.

[lastlib]

37. I think it's a little naive to think that.....

given that we're hostile to The Felon and his crime syndicate. We've seen their willingness to make up "facts". I have little doubt that we are, or will be, on the "hit list".

[ancianita]

42. I hear you.

And if we keep fighting the good fight and things generally don't change for the better, I can see that happening.
But from the hit list we've seen so far, he's got to get through the current 60+2 governors and 1 mayor on that hit list first.

18. There you go again...

It's times like these that I wish DU's search function worked better than it does.

EDIT: Pray tell, where exactly you think these MAGA fascists will find a line that even they won't cross? What is the most extreme you see them going to, hmm?

[Silent Type]

34. I sure don't think he's coming after DU. It's a great forum, but not worried about it being a target.

[Captain Zero]

35. What's he gonna do? Prosecute our user names?

Trump's a Doofuss.

[W_HAMILTON]

45. My question was where you think they will stop.

Going after DU? Is that the line you think they'll draw? Even though they've done far worse than that already and have gone after other groups on the left already?

[WarGamer]

40. mhmmmm

[Totally Tunsie]

12. Sleepy boy is having trouble keeping his eyes open again.

I'm waiting for the day his forehead hits the table!

[markodochartaigh]

14. Targeted? In what way?

The site owners, administrators, and those who keep the site running hauled off to a camp? Authoritarians crush opponents to benefit themselves, the reich-wing Republicans fear their own base and Trump more than they fear the Democratic base or politicians. Crushing DU in that way now is like crossing the street to squash a bug that you don't like. Someday it may be worth their while, but there are too many much bigger fish that need frying now.
Or targeted by cyber attack? They already have these trolls and bots on their payroll. Haven't there already been some site disruptions here? I very much doubt that those have been caused either by competing Democratic sites or Bernie bros.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. I suspect OP is concerned for themself as much as anyone. But they aren't doing one of the most obvious things

Reduce targeting by blowing off Muck and X and tracking.

Do that by not linking to X. X is data central. X has so many data partners. Linking to X increases your exposure and increases your associates exposure.

Most people think of user data on the internet as being a billion little silos, one for each person. It is also all of the vehicle traffic (to extend the farming analogy) between the silos and the feed store and the harvester repair shop and the country-pop fan site and the site where some of the comments are not repeatable in polite company and .... It's about connections, networks of associates and what binds them.

15. Set up a decoy: Antifa Underground

[orleans]

20. LOL! i love it!

thanks for the laugh

[uponit7771]

44. This sounds like a good idea actually

[DFW]

16. I think we're a bit far down on the totem pole to expect thugs breaking down our doors before Thanksgiving

When they are convinced that all the bigger fish to fry have indeed been fried, we will get our day before the Inquisition, fear not.

We'll just have to vote wisely, and hope those votes are counted. Stay home, and that's where the thugs will next show up to "thank" you in their own inimitable fashion.

[surfered]

17. New Yorker cartoon

[aggiesal]

19. They don't even know what ANTIFA means. It's just a Spooky Boogie word to them & their base. n/t

[uponit7771]

22. Yep, they'll just define ANTIFA to be anything that pisses them off

[uponit7771]

21. Pedocon doesn't own enough judges, that's what's holding us together

If he doesn't call for Martial Law he's handcuffed to a degree

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Do most obvious thing. Drop X. Stop feeding all your personal & social connections to Muck & his bros.

It's not about you being in a little data silo labelled pbmus, it's all the people who click on linked X. Most of them don't reject cookies and are wide open.

The medium sized companies, like some middling health advice web site will state "We have 814 partners and we share data with them". The tightly interlinked companies analyze and generate data maps that show connectivity of user and visitors. If you link a Xit and user B looks at it three times and looks at Xit posted by user C, they make the transitive connection. Multiply this by millions of posts on DU and realize that Xit posts feed the Bros.

Don't feed Musk if you are sincere about your concerns.

[Jack Valentino]

27. Soon as they find out I am ANTIFA, our goose is cooked!

I am the Antifa paymaster. George Soros sends me the money,
and I distribute the cash to all our footsoldiers
wrapped in empty bags of "Flaming Hot" Doritos ...

[Crunchy Frog]

41. You've been embezzling it. That's why I've never seen a penny.

[Jack Valentino]

43. I WISH !!!!

lol

[dcmfox]

28. lol

Well the format of the site is 80's style, so it might die before it gets killed

[BidenRocks]

31. We Are Antifa!

Our headquarters is every VFW and American Legion Post around the world.

Feeling lucky?

[hadEnuf]

36. They need a boogeyman and an excuse,

so Dems, liberals and progressives will ALL become Antifa.

They are literally having "discussions and investigations" into something that does not exist as an entity, so they are making us into that entity in order to justify their planned persecution.

[BidenRocks]

38. Terrorism Is Back

So, another 'War On Terror'?

Another enemy without a mailing address.

[Faux pas]

32. They are all

FARKING NUT BAGS. I'm guessing the criteria for being part of the "insider's club" is flunking the pych test.

[SamuelTheThird]

33. Reddit is really the last big site with resistance

I think, anyway. So they must be eyeing it.

[Crunchy Frog]

39. Nothing is too kooky. We're in the Twilight Zone now.
