Forward, and don’t forget! A Cypherpunk’s manifesto
In 1993, a mathematician named Eric Hughes sat down and wrote a declaration of his own.

It was not about a king. It was about privacy, and the machines that were quietly ending it. He called it A Cypherpunk's Manifesto. The core idea was simple and radical: if you want privacy in a digital world, no one is going to grant it to you. You have to build it yourself.

His most famous line is three words long. "Cypherpunks write code." Not petition. Not protest. Not wait for permission. Build the thing that makes the freedom real, then give it away so no one can take it back.

Fifteen years later, Satoshi did exactly that. Bitcoin was not a demand that governments fix the money. It was working code that fixed it, released into the open where no one could recall it.

Here is the lesson that outlived the manifesto. Rights you have to ask for can be revoked. Rights you build into running code are yours to keep.

Independence was never granted. It gets written. Sometimes in ink, sometimes in software.

#Muddle might appear to be #vaporware since it fails the "show me the code" style test (#POCOGTFO) but in reality the code isn't important and, besides, #TMTOWTDI

What it is is a particular refinement of the idea of deniable encryption. One that is very practical and flexible. It does, however, rely on the idea that it should be OK for normal people to have access to decent cryptographic tools to enable them to exchange messages securely while also allowing them freedom of association and the ability to build up their own networks, regardless of external snoops who might be using the metadata (who is in contact with who) to infer association.

#Muddle starts with #noise but beyond that, it should be possible to embed #signals and beyond that it could could be used to build #communities

The biggest problem, of course, is that all of our metadata is being fed into systems that map our social networks. That's why #muddle as a #SharedNoise network helps to frustrate this.

IDK... this is kind of like a partial #manifesto but I'm not sure about how to write such things ...

Socialist 4Chan?

“There’s no core ideology other than aggrieved #men who watch a lot of #pornography and think that’s how their lives should be,” Arntfield said. “This individual seems to be taking it in a new direction, where he’s introducing biological arguments as to why this all needs to be course corrected, and then ultimately it ends with a call to #massviolence.”

The document also details what the #gunman viewed as specific targets that, in his estimation, were deserving of dire consequences, including major #realestate brokerages, #privateequity firms, supporters of #Zionism, health insurance #CEOs, pick up artists, plastic #surgeons and those profiting from mass #immigration.

Underpinning the entire #manifesto was an #anticapitalist sentiment, recurrent reference to hypergamy – coupling up with someone of higher status – and a belief that society is structured in a way that results in #inequality for #whitemen[...]"

I would like to find obscure and interesting manifesto type writings not listed on that web site. Suggestions? Links?
