Can't speak for OP's link, but as a contrast No Trace Project's resources contain lots of advice from people who actually routinely face state repression, with in-depth analysis of specific cases. The scope is international (though focused on the North Atlantic region) rather than english- & u.s.-exclusive. There are plenty of references to Tor+Tails.

Thanks for the links. It's a bit annoying that OP's link turned out to be a LARP; I hope no one actually relies on those people for their security.

Fuck national security & fuck "the west". These are not things we should seek to protect or defend. (And yes, fuck copyright too.)

Amazing what kidnapping a tech billionaire can get you.

If self-destruction is a necessary premise here, is that really a good thing?

That's what shadow libraries are doing, as are many other older & less prominent models of information distribution. These projects should be proliferated & promoted to challenge the dominant propaganda that people can only do things the U.S. government says they can.
