Re: The burn-off of Tom Veil

[Tyler Durden]

"zmag.org and commiedreams.org gets you blacklisted, as it indicates that 
one is of the so-called "progressive, leftist" commie totalitarian 
persuasion."

Blacklisted! Sniff sniff...I'm hurt! Does this mean I'm kicked out from the 
yearbook committee too? And do I have to tear up my "Cypherpunks" membership 
card?

The only important point to make here, is that it doesn't really matter what 
the political persuasion is of someone who contributes to anything nominally 
Cypherpunkish. If they are promoting/using/developing/suggesting strong 
crypto apps, certain types of thought-control will eventually be thrown off 
as a result of such apps. (Of course, there are those who believe that 
something like an anarchic/libertarian society must arise as a result, but 
one's BELIEFS are largely irrelevant.)

As for quoting zmag (which I do), it's silly that this indicates a 
necessarily leftie/pinko/commie slant. Chomsky, a frequent contributor, has 
described himself as basically anarchic in his political leanings. More 
importantly, however, is the fact that Chomsky often develops some very 
strong counter-arguments to US agit-spew. However, if quoting zmag means I'm 
a "commie pinko faggot", sobeit.
