For one the state's ability to do unbridled invasive violating surveillance has increased and remained at high magnitude. Thanks to the patriot act and that was arguably (and supposedly) in response to this. Watch Snowden's recent interview. It improved the state's situation, in terms of power, drastically. It fueled the military industrial complex, feeding it 2.5 pointless damned wars. Neither political party gained anything from it, but the state as a whole sure as shit did. If you think there aren't cold sociopath deep state mother fuckers who would do something like kill 3 thousand of their own people for that then you're incredibly naive.

they all reduce dependence upon the state, and God is authority, not the state, so Christianity probably the biggest affront to statism.

I hope so but I think the deep state will JFK Trump before it lets him stop their permanent comic-level surveillance orgy.

DDG got shitloads of bad press.

That can be argued.

The competition was never held again.

any other arguments than this, because I still don't trust it.

sorry, but it's still manipulative evil Google. and notice i left enough room for interpretation of that kind. i usually just say "startpage is a proxy for google" but i didn't this time, so what...

fortunately people aren't stupid. allies will come here or the next proverbial The_Donald, especially since the internet is being hyper-consolidated and makes it very easy to spot genuinely freedom-loving things.

from the mediapost article:

“I wish things were different, but we're in the midst of what I call a ‘Privacy Gold Rush.’ Now that privacy is a money maker, some of the worst tracking organizations are swarming privacy like moths to a porch light. Eyes open!” McIntyre wrote.

it's more of a fools-gold rush where the biggest violators are realizing they have to do something and so they design this grand theater of not-really competition.

Yet they weren't funding our enemies for a while there. As Sarah pointed out, something changed.

https://www.qwant.com/ is french Bing, https://www.startpage.com/en/ is Google

At this point there is no true search engine worthwhile that isn't run by/proxy for the proto-state. I would say YACY, (host your own) but i can't keep my node up for more than a week or two it just mysteriously stops accepting connections... so I'm at a fucking loss.

edit: lol "I can't keep my node up"

part one "DuckDuckGo is Funding Your Enemies"

The clash between Google and DDG is a gigantic dog and pony show meant to give the average person confidence they know what's happening and that DDG is a good guy. It's theater, a farce, a lie, it's all a fucking lie.
