La "fine del mito svedese" è un'espressione sociopolitica utilizzata per descrivere il progressivo declino del modello scandinavo, storicamente celebrato in tutto il mondo come il perfetto connubio tra capitalismo efficiente, welfare state infallibile, pacifismo e accoglienza umanitaria. Negli ultimi anni si è incrinata drasticamente questa immagine idealizzata, portando molti analisti a decretarne il tramonto definitivo

La fine di un mito in cambio di un posto nella NATO
L'ipocrisia della Svezia su Snowden e AssangeIn passato ha ospitato dissidenti e disertori di tutto il mondo. Ma quando nel XXI secolo il velo è stato sollevato sui crimini e sulla sorveglianza di massa del governo USA, la Svezia ha scelto di allinearsi all'alleato transatlantico tradendo i suoi storici ideali.

@netzpolitik_feedI made this audio collage about #ChatControl using Beethoven's "Ode To Joy", a sample from The Simpsons and quotes by Edward Snowden.
The European anthem played on the heavily out of tune guitar is inspired by Jimi Hendrix' version of the US anthem and is representing how chat control damages European values.

Karma is coming.
Quote from Wikileaks:
Prominent US war hawk John Bolton has pled guilty to violating the Espionage Act after previously demanding execution for whistleblowers Edward Snowden & Chelsea Manning and 176 years in prison for publisher Julian Assange.
As part of a plea agreement, Bolton admitted to unlawfully retaining sensitive national security information. He now faces up to 5 years in prison, up to 3 years of supervised release, a $2.25 million fine, forfeiture of his pension, and is due to be sentenced on 28 October.

Maximum anonymity for #Activists, #Journalists, #Dissidents, and #Whistleblowers.
#SESSION (Loki Network/Decentralized)
Who uses it: Activists in Hong Kong, Belarus, Iran, and protest groups in the West. Why: If an activist is stopped, the police check the phone. In Session, there is no phone number, no address book, no logs of who spoke to whom. It is the best choice if the risk is having your device seized and trying to trace your network of contacts.#SIMPLEX Who uses it: Whistleblowers, informants, crypto-anarchists. Why: It is the only app where a "user profile" truly doesn't exist on the server. If the server is seized, there is nothing to find. It is used when contact secrecy is vital more than ease of use.

Massimo anonimato per #Attivisti, #Giornalisti #Dissidenti e #Whistleblowers.
#SESSION (Rete Loki/Decentralizzata)
Chi lo usa: Attivisti a Hong Kong, Bielorussia, Iran e gruppi di protesta in occidente.Perché: Se un attivista viene fermato, la polizia controlla il telefono. In Session non c'è il numero di telefono, non c'è la rubrica, non ci sono log di chi ha parlato con chi. È la scelta migliore se il rischio è che ti sequestrino il dispositivo e provino a risalire alla tua rete di contatti.
#SIMPLEX Chi lo usa: Whistleblowers, informatori, crypto-anarchici. Perché: È l'unica app dove davvero non esiste un "profilo utente" sul server. Se il server viene sequestrato, non c'è nulla da trovare. È usato quando la segretezza del contatto è vitale più della facilità d'uso.#EdwardSnowden #Tor #BlockChain #WilsonBright #AmnestyInternational #PrivacyGuides #VPN #Snowden #Anonymous

Two posts from 2014: Trolley Problems, Nuclear Weapons, Snowden, Jocks, and Meat-Grinders
These are a pair of Facebook posts from 2014 which I just want to transfer over to my blog for ease of finding; but if you are particularly interested in questions of utilitarianism and outcomes (having seen multiple references to “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” in the past few weeks) they might be interesting…
Part 1: Why you should Shoot the Button
So my friend Glyn has been going around and posing a question something along the lines of:
« You are locked in a room with a man. You have a gun. The man has his finger poised over a button which will unleash nuclear armageddon upon the earth. Do you shoot the man? »
…which is apparently one of those questions being used to explore morality in a crisis; there are various spins on it, like you shoot him and he hits the button anyway, or will you kill one man to save one million people you don’t know, etc. From what I understand this question vexed some denizens of the Privacy International office for several hours.
Then they asked me, down the pub. I thought for a moment and said “shoot the button”, which caused consternation as nobody had suggested that before. The answer was relayed to Glyn via SMS who nitpicked it as above – “you might cause a short and incinerate the world” – so I wrote up my response as follows:
«This question (as posed to me) is actually a metaquestion, one which can be rationally disambiguated by the fact that someone asked it.
If it were up to me then, faced with a guy with his finger over the Armageddon button, I would certainly shoot him, in the head or heart, whichever presented minimal risk of accidental button-pushing on the way down. Quick kill, low risk.
I would do this because my threat model would be protection of the people whom I love, elsewhere, who would die in the conflagration. With this threat model, this is the only rational action other than suicide which would be nihilistic rejection of the choice.
However: if you are in a position to ask the question then you clearly have a different threat model. Specifically, if you are experiencing a moral quandry about killing one person to preserve the lives of millions, then you are already discounting numeric disparity and for some reason see the killing of one person as equally bad as the killing of 200 million.
In *that* threat model (choosing between two equally bad scenarios) then shooting the button, whatever the result, is the rational action. This is because shooting the button moves you from a state of having two bad outcomes (killing one, or seeing 200 million killed) to a situation where there are two bad and one good outcome (the former, plus: break the button and nobody dies).
This is clearly an improvement in your situation and therefore you should take it.
Any nitpicking about “it might be a drill” is compensated by “if so, the base commander may have filled your gun with blanks”, so can be safely ignored.
Welcome to thinking like a defender [ed: … as opposed to a pentester]»
Part 2: John Kerry vs: Edward Snowden
From what I remember of growing up, when jocks are defeated by geeks who are either/both better equipped than, or can outthink their opponents, three complaints – three unmanly whines – are to be heard from the defeated:
- it’s cheating (because he didn’t attack me head-on)
- it’s not fair (because I didn’t expect what happened)
- he’s a coward for not fighting fair or honourably
The latter is particularly odd because part of the whole point of out-thinking your opponents is so that you don’t have to go up against their strongest suit. Throwing yourself into a meatgrinder may be “brave” or “daring” but sometimes it’s plain stupid, especially if going around the side is smarter.
In other news, John Kerry: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/kerry-snowden-coward-traitor-n116366
Back to 2025
If you’re still into Trolley Problems, my solution is: grab the lever and try to cause a derailment; but apparently that’s cheating.

1/ Gerade in diesen Tagen denke ich an #Snowden, den Mann, der gesehen hat, was mit #Assange passierte & darum als #Whistleblower, der in relativ mächtigen #Demokratien nicht aufgenommen wurde & erlebte, was bei kleinen Staaten passierte*
Er suchte Schutz in #Russland, weil ihm nichts anderes übrig blieb.
Jetzt sitzt er in einer #Autokratie fest, in der #Oppositionelle weggesperrt werden &/o.nur eine geringe Lebenserwartung haben. -

Ten years ago, Edward Snowden warned us about state spying. (...) worry about the future (The Guardian)
The abuses the Guardian helped him bring to worldwide attention go on: the authorities have merely made it harder to expose them.
