My "dark" web experience -- is tor useful even? Glownonymous 31-03-24 20:21:51 No.24007

Saw Mental Outlaw's videos on the tor network. Thought I'd give it a try. Evidently, it is filled to the brim with exit scams and glowie pedobait. And I found it funny how Tordex/Torch admins try to justify not censoring such garbage.

>The search results on Torch are not censored because we believe trying to censor the dark web is counter productive and a waste of resources. Our philosophy is people have the right to do anything they want and live with the consequences, Torch should not decide what people do with their lives even if it’s morally wrong. We’re a search engine not your conscience.

>If you would like to advertise your hidden service please check our our advertising rates.

Yeah right, it's because of TRVE freedumbs n sheeit, it totally doesn't have anything to do with advertising scam websites to horny pedos and making money off of it.

Funny tangent aside, if there are any useful resources related to cybersec/privacy/tech on tor, please let me know. I'd like to get something useful out of it.

Plenty. But what do you want out of it? Are you trying to visit the same sites but throw off people who aren't actual NSA analysts? Are you trying to host services anonymously? Your threat model (and your operational procedures) determines if this tool is useful or useless.
The official Tor non-technical docs are probably what you want.

I use it to obfuscate metadata related to clearnet browsing
stopped using drugs many years ago, but whenever sites like this have an onion available of course I'll use it for extra hops

It also makes your posts more anonymous (except you, you namefag) and it conserves the limited bandwidth on exit nodes because .onions don't have to use them, helping the network. Most of the middle relays have essentially unlimited bandwidth, so pumping traffic over .onions doesn't cost relay hosts as much as clearnet traffic.

mental outlaw's content is pretty solid, the memes and thumbnails he uses are catered to the only audience dumb-enough to buy his cringe merch, skiddies.

This, he's way less chinlet-brained than other soyjack YouTubers. He even supports some regulations of tech companies like whenever EU cracks on the Big Tech.

He's the definition of an alt-right chinlet. His content is barely watchable because it's filled with dogwhistles and rightwinger bs. Doesn't help that there are no good leftist youtubers who make the same kind of content.

How? Isn't this dude black?

For one he's black, but yes it's true he could be an uncle Tom; But good for our case he's not. He supports peer 2 peer farming networks, "free speech" (albeit this term is often a dogwhistle but Kenny evidently acts to this in good faith from his content), right to bear arms, open source content, and more. How is this altright?
>The memes in his videos!!
Symbols and memes from an internet culture, not an ideology. I doubt the man would himself identify as a leftist, but the truth is he embodies leftist values and I dont see how he could be altright.

He's somewhat of a liberaltarian in my experience: he's pro-regulation when it comes to the Big Tech (he supports the EU's regulations after all) but it's clear he hasn't divorced himself from right-libertarianism, hence the memes since zoomer lolberts spend too much time on imageboards like 8chan and such. I think Stallman's support of government regulations has kinda sinked into his brain so he supports pro-software and hardware freedom regulations over laissez-faire now. Which is funny to think.

He literally complains about wokeness destroying the surface web in one of his videos. Just because hes black doesnt make him immune from being shitty ass chinlet

Good take.

>He literally complains about wokeness destroying the surface web in one of his videos.
Shit take, I agree, but this is a pretty liberal idea, non-partisan. I work in a homeless shelter with mostly democrats and I hear this shit all the time. What I'm saying is he'd never identify as a leftist, but he still pushes lefty ideas, and he's most definitly not alt-right.
>Just because hes black doesnt make him immune from being shitty ass chinlet
<For one he's black, but yes it's true he could be an uncle Tom
Yes I agree I literally said this in my comment. Uncle Tom is a term for a black who goes against his race, like altrighters.

Anyone have that cointelpro transcript where they sent a guy to snoop on some leftists and he was begging them to reassign them because he was getting bored out of his mind just listening to college kids have pedantic arguments about 1800s philosophy.

mental outlaw is an unhinged /g/tard rightoid and a sensationalist. don't take anything he says seriously.

So a race traitor? You sound like a /pol/tard.

What does he mean by wokeness destroying the surface web? The only thing wokeness is destroying is mainstream journalists' reputation. But you can just… not read them? I dunno.
>>25434

Lol, it did sound like this but I think they were talking about internalized racism. I wonder: can white guilt be considered white people's version of internalized racism? Lmao.
