>How can we solve this problem, of the current state of the internet, without reverting to the compromises of the past?

We need to be on the offensive, not on the defensive. We need to pro-actively scrape walled gardens and re-publish them without fluff.

We need to consider .onion to be the default domain for our websites.

And we should also not be ashamed of using AI to achieve our goals.

We need to implement modern conveniences in our programs.

We need to be writing bridges between walled gardens and deltachat.

>We were still required to buy paper books for all sorts of routine knowledge work tasks.

I download books from libgen and print them out. Printed books will never be replaced.

You have useless javascript there.

Not sure about "most". I use tor without a tor browser, because I don't care about being identified. I only used it to go around geoblocking and visit onion sites.

Are you really not sure? I'm pretty darn sure a lot of "normal" people don't know how to configure their systems to use a SOCKS proxy to use Tor.

But a lot of "normal" people don't use tor at all.

Ah I should have been more specific and saying normal Tor users.

>We don't really have a standard way to definitively say "I am a citizen" in the US.

In most countries of the world, the best way to prove your citizenship is to apply for a visa. That is you world apply for a US visa and get an official rejection, because US citizens don't need/cannot get a visa, and the rejection document would be the proof of citizenship.

.. that seems extremely dangerous, because I wouldn't trust that refusal to not raise red flags for the rest of your life. I've not heard of people routinely doing this or announcing it as a valid method of proof of citizenship which they accept.

Agreed, that seems like exactly the thing that would get you pulled aside at the border, and/or give ICE a reason to not trust your American passport.

Compared to the effect of Plaza Accords the influence of banking policy on economic development is within statistical error.

My crude understanding is that in the 90's, the US controlled basically all the world's large-scale financial clearing network, and after 9/11 declared a holy war against anything that didn't provide visibility to US intelligence (like the surviving medieval Middle Eastern 'Hawala' banking system) and the ability for the US to sanction it on a fine-grained basis.

Since that time, we have grabbed on tighter and tighter, and are finding that the world is starting to seek out a less politically volatile patron for a financial system.

It's pretty wild, I work in finance and hawala was specifically called out in my anti money laundering training. Really seems like cultural chauvanism and thinly veiled racism to eschew an entire traditional monetary support system.

I'm an immigrant to the US who still has a bank account in my home country.

After I told that bank I'd moved abroad, they required me to fill out paperwork for FATCA and give them my US SSN.

I also have to self-report all foreign accounts and their balances to the IRS. The penalties for not doing so are severe.
