That's why I'm here. I'm on the 'society' end of that dyad.

Just in case it REALLY matters to Juan (hereafter known as 'the troll')
to know what my interest in the list is, and further, for 'the troll's
information one of the personal influences I named, Herbert Marcuse,
whose work precedes cryptography as social influence, would have fucking
well discussed it. Further, the Marxists of his time, the political
inclination 'the troll' accuses me of adhering to, rejected Marcuse. It
was an Anarchist... Abbie Hoffman, who is the only person of the times
afaict who understood WTF Marcuse (and McLuhan) was talking about and
put it into effect in his activism.

Townshend shouted "Fuck off! Fuck off my stage!"

Townshend later said that while he actually agreed with Hoffman on Sinclair's imprisonment, he would have knocked him offstage regardless of the content of his message, given that Hoffman had violated the "sanctity of the stage," i.e., the right of the band to perform uninterrupted by distractions not relevant to the show.

In Weatherman theory "oppressed peoples" are the creators of the wealth of empire, "and it is to them that it belongs." "The goal of revolutionary struggle must be the control and use of this wealth in the interest of the oppressed peoples of the world." "The goal is the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism"

This list is *not* for that, and it's not a list to longtalk food recipes,
or anything else either. Lack of moderation is not license for people
to come here and setup their own offtopic shops, grossly, willfully
and continually disrespecting what it says on the tin and the history
of the list long before you [1], to the tune of many tens to hundreds
of messages per month, especially without tying it into that.
If you want to longtalk anything other than that to the point
that the charter would need a whole new section just for you,
GO FIND OR MAKE YOUR OWN FUCKING LIST FOR THAT.

"The Cypherpunks mailing list is a mailing list for discussing
cryptography and its effect on society."
There are reasonable relateds within the realm of "cypherpunk" to include *its*
computing, tools, privacy, surveillance, law, news, literature / art / society,
hacking / making, organizations and projects, politics, tech, science,
solutions,
crime, etc, etc.

The occaisional short lived foray under self regulation and restraint into
untied topics of possible interest to readerbase might be considered ok,
however NOT to the extent that it's been abused ongoing.

If you're wondering why the "thousands" of people on the list
aren't "analysing political philosophies" with you, it's because
YOU'RE FUCKING OFFTOPIC, THEY DON'T WANT TO, and
they've BLOCKED YOUR ASS.

But for new people hoping to find a real or even passable cypherpunk
list, and before even joining and blocking you, but just looking over
archives, your noise, and the angry abusive trolls, kills it for them.

Have some respect for that.
The lot of you.
Or get off here.
