Look at that!

A few nights in French jail worked wonders.

It's like I always say, violence and torture work so well you don't even have to do them in the first place. Just saying you will unless they comply is enough. That's why we're the good guys.

About that last bit...

Durov -- who has citizenship in France as well as Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Caribbean archipelago of St. Kitts and Nevis

How can someone have four simultaneous citizenships?

Is it money? Gotta be money.

In Canada and New Zealand you can literally buy citizenship. You just need the funds. It’s a real and legitimate process.

Almost every country has a way to get citizenship in exchange of money

If the country is corrupt enough, then yes.

I wonder if anyone rich enough has decided on undertaking the quest to get and hold as many citizenships as possible.

There'd probably be difficulty though getting simultaneous citizenships for North Korea / South Korea citizenship, Russia / Ukraine, or Republic of China / People's Republic of China.

The most i could find on the web was this lawyers non-named client, who has 8 citizenships (“octa-citizen” has passports from Canada, UK, Ireland, Belize, Grenada, Dominica, St. Kitts, and Cape Verde), after renouncing his original USA one (and he apparently did it to not pay taxes).

In Australia you can buy permanent residency, which is then a pathway to citizenship.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

Oh hell yeah it's money. It's called economic citizenship and there are plenty of countries out there that are willing to let you buy in with ownership of properties and business.

There are only a handful of countries out there that don't allow dual citizenship.

My kids are entitled to 5 citizenships. 2 from me and 3 from their mum.

I only use Telegram for my Warhammer 40k group..Authorities seizing that will get them years of mindless chatter about the Emperor, memes and battle reports. Fuck they will pay us to leave Telegram

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

People who signed up on Telegram were set up to fail right from the get go. It doesn't feature default E2EE, it's not private, it's not secure... but there were plenty of users on there looking to buy whatever dark net goods and services you can offer. It's completely stupid when there are much better alternatives out there, but people go wherever other people are, just moving as a herd instead of a lone wolf. With everything that has happened over the last years, including the arrest of the Tornado Cash and Samourai Wallet devs, it's clear that it's no longer possible to resist the government in any way out in the open anymore.

OK bye bye Telgram. Now I need to migrate everything again again again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Just choose good solutions up front. Then you won't have to migrate. Use Signal

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

No!! I don't go for signal. That is a centralized alternative. And I'm indeed trying to avoid to migrate again!

Maybe Matrix.. Or maybe Simplex sounds better..
