To piggyback on the other comment, tell him black shirts and reds has a lot of information in it that will really help him drive home what it was like. Don't imply that it contradicts his view though! Just that it could provide "Lots of inspiration for campaign directions and NPCs"
Facebook will not send with codes to a VoIP phone. You can sign up without a phone but they will flag you as not real then force you to add a phone.
Same with all other Meta services. SMSpool or something like it will give you the codes you need at a temp number. You can't rent numbers if you want one for longer then one time too I think.
Mozilla Relay will let you create an email that just relays mail to your normal account. Its accepted on facebook.
SMSPool has a bank of non-voip numbers that you order for a single SMS code. This costs somewhere around $0.15 to $0.30. They accept bitcoin if you really want to stay anonymous.
Firefox container tabs help isolate you from leaking personal information. The Facebook container does more I think.
Facebook will aggressively monitor your account. I'm on my second suspension for not being "real". But its easy to get around it. Well see if I get out the second time though.
Maybe I'll find it later but this reminds me of the reddit thread from last year where a GenZ kid made a post asking people how his desk phone worked, what all the buttons did, and so on.
No one told the poster how it worked at the time they were hired. They didn't want to admit to coworkers that they had no idea how it worked.
I think this extends way beyond just work though. People just don't know how anything works. They buy phones and have no idea how they work, cars, computers, everything is a black box to most people.
Because you can't do self-harm. The state would never allow for its own hand to be cut off. Russian assets are from a whole different pool of capitalists.
Except, they don't. They can't even keep up with the demand from both Israel and Ukraine. The MIC isn't spinning up fast enough, and local factory production is almost non-existent. Soon the bark is going to be more than the bite.
Do you like being the global economic superpower with hegemonic influence over the world economy? Because this is a good fucking way to get other nations to tell you and the World Bank to fuck right off. Can't seize assets that are not part of your banking regime, and this definitely incentivizes de-dollarization.
Lol what am I reading.
