He has audiobooks? For reals? OMFG.

He reads/records other people’s books and puts it on his YT channel that’s linked on his profile, it’s not his own writing.

I guess I should’ve posted the reddit comments earlier on in the comment chain.

seemed very subjective

Him literally saying it is subjective? Operating from a US address is subjective? His language (including his natural American pronunciation that you can hear in his audiobooks) and the language of all of his sources is subjective?

And yeah, sorry chief, CIA saying that people saying bad stuff about CIA is SSSR propaganda is a bit too much even for me. I’ll go ahead and say it - suggesting that a tankie, despite the actual evidence in his online activity, has simply got to be a non-American because clearly he just hates USA too much, is a very American-brained and Red-Scare-ish idea.

I’ve no problem with you being skeptical, but consider the actual examples:

What’s messed up, is that my US cell carrier, recently told me that my currently working 4g Xiaomi phone “won’t be supported” in like 3 months. They aren’t even turning off 4g, its just I suspect they’re trying to find ways to make sure chinese phones aren’t usable in the US.

They can really arrest all of us. Police and prison budgets have been skyrocketing for 30+ years, its the biggest item in most city and state budgets.

Leaf through his other comments as well, let me know what’s your impression.

Yes. He mentioned it in his reddit comments, but even if you don’t go out looking for it, there are various indicators - language (exclusively English), the fact lemmy.ml is registered from a US address, the fact that all of his discourse is heavily US-centric.

Frankly, only an American can be this obsessed with CIA.

An American is taking care of the Russian community and defending it from CIA propaganda, that’s so anti-imperialist. I’m sure Russians are thankful 🙏

.li is maintained by an another group so it usually still works when .is doesn’t; most of their database is the same. Unlike .is they have some pretty aggressive advertising on there, however, popups and stuff.

It’s the opposite, AA is pretty reliable whereas Libgen (.is domain) has been offline for over a month, came back online just a few days ago.

Tbh a lot of the torrenting terminology is quite metaphorical and doesn’t make sense without understanding all the mechanics. Seeding? Leeching? Ports? Clients? And even the central concept - “torrent”?
