Technology vs. Politics - A Reader's Perspective for a Hacker Magazine
Here is a section of an article I submitted to 2600 Magazine, a hacker publication, that censored parts of my writing. To read the complete uncensored article, head over to https://deltacharlie.tech/
I’d first like to address volume 39 number 3, where Emmanuel mentions Rule of Law. Firstly, The political writings of 2600 in the last few years are just out of control, and many readers have sent letters about it. I’ve always felt a hacker magazine should present information about technology and hacking and leave the politics out of it. This magazine has recently leaned towards the politically correct, woke, mainstream narrative type of musings written by Emmanuel Goldstein. I know hacking and politics overlap. But, if I want to mix politics and hacking, I’d go on YouTube and watch an Anonymous video.
The printed pages of this magazine used to be really good for us for us g33ks to explore technology without all the political nonsense. You’ve taken the Internet trolls and given them printed pages. I don’t need a hacker magazine telling me not to come to a meeting unless I’m vaccinated. How about leaving that conversation between doctors and patients? With all the COVID-19 drama, this magazine lined right up with the mainstream narrative. If you wanted to stay out of all that, and keep with the hacker spirit of independent thinking and decision making. You could have printed “Hey everyone, the 2600 meeting page moved online only. Decide and think among yourselves. We’ll resume printing that page when we’re ready.” Instead, it was, “OK, everyone, the government and media say THIS, so we will print that in our magazine too and promote it too.” Without going on a tangent, I’m not anti vaccination. I’m anti government mandate because the government is not my doctor. I’ll leave it at that.
Emmanuel writes, “every time we’ve spoken out on some issue, raised awareness of an injustice, or questioned assumptions, we’ve never given up on the system itself, even when that system was proving to be corrupt or broken.” It’s broken. The federal government is too big, which is what the founding fathers warned us about. The individual states and individual people are losing sovereignty with every crisis they create and put on TV. I know you have to keep selling magazines, so you have to keep up on the “latest” trending topics, but why not address the causes of these issues like the psychopaths in the WEF, the enslavement of the world through the fiat dollar, or the brainwashing of children.
