Nah, it just takes longer to get the smudges off, and you miss out on the Apple Magic ™ experience

A token?

It is insane that any internet banking portal still uses a static password.

Sure, but is that due to a better product, cheaper product or a better political landscape?

I am leaning on the latter two options.

“Looking to upstage Apple”

I am sure Huawei will run a good presentation, but I have severe doubts about “upstaging”, especially since we don’t know what Huawei will launch.

If you don’t enjoy the show, you can just walk away.

You don’t need to waste energy being a dick about it.

You make it seem like the Nazis are the only one trying to doxx people, both sides are doing this, and I will absolutely cheer for the guys trying to doxx Nazis every day of the week!

This entire debate has been about politics, then you suddenly shift to talk about immunocompromised people which is a different topic.

That was never an issue to me, medical needs take precidence.

It is also clear that you know that once you have a name and general information about a person in Sweden you can easily use services like hitta.se to find their home address including directions to their apartment door.

But this falls apart when you realize that we don’t have an image search for faces.

My point about Nazis masking faster was an admittedly clumbsy way to say that Nazis seem to be the group that embrace masking more than other groups.

The entire second part of your comment drips of sarcasm, and is childish. I am fine with you disagreeing, but argue in an adult manner.

In the end it is clear that neither me nor you will change our oppinion, so this argument is pointless.

Go an have a lovely weekend, I’ll have to clean my flat, I hope you have better plans.

Which a I have noted in several comments here

Yep, I have seen them, and in my experience it is the little cowardly Nazi bitches who tend to be quicker to mask.

I understand, I believe heavily in trying to see the other guy’s logic even if I disagree with them.

Sadly the world in general has seen a rise of the far right, which I realize will make masked protests needed, even here in Sweden, I don’t like it, but I understand that it peobably is comming. But that is not today.

We have had those environmental glue protests here, while I dislike their methods, I have never seen them try and hide their identities, I do respect that, that tells me that they actually are believing in what they do, and not just using the cause a way to cause destruction.

So far, I can’t remember any of their protests devolving into rioting or violence, at least not from their side.

In my experience neo nazis are way more prone to mask in their protests than other groups.

As I have repeatedly stated, the US is not a free country in this regard.

So mask away!

I get what you are saying, and no, I don’t believe you should have to prove yourself innocent.

I simply ment it as if I happened to be part of a mass arrest by accident and can be identified as having done nothing, I would be let go with an apology.

Meh, it is obvious that media shapes everyones viewpoint, the same goes for you.

I fully agree that surveillance is something to fear, but again, if you are living in a free country like Sweden, then you won’t be arrested simply for protesting, vandalism and violence however, those are things you will be arrested for.

A surveillance camera could also prove that you were peaceful if you are caught up in a bad situation if you can be identified.

I don’t think I have ever seen any masked protest that didn’t devolve into rioting or violence in some way.

That is obviously not exclusive to masked protests, but most unmasked protests I have seen then to be be peaceful.

It is almost as if hiding their identity makes people less restrained.

It is cowardly to hide behind a mask in a free country where you have nothing to fear of government from protesting.

I do however agree that it is sensible to mask in a country where protesting in and of itself will arrest and mistreatment from the government.

At this point in time, I do not see the US as a free country in this context.

In my experience if there is a masked protest here in Sweden, it is beacuase people want to riot, even if the initial idea was not to riot, the concept of a masked protest will attract more people who will riot.

I hope your country get to this point as well.

Have a lovely evening!
