The event was a hacker conference full of digitalactivists, ācyber partisansā, and ādigital freedomā types from mostly Europe. These people love doing āhacktivismā that just happens to overlap with the interests of Nato cyber warfare strategy š¤
Has the concept of a āredhat hackerā been coined yet? No relation to the corporate linux distro
Before it ended I spoke briefly to the spokesperson for the Belarussian Cyber Partisans about the way her organisation strives to do nation building in post Lukashenko Belarus. She said her vision for a future for her country is an agreement with Belarus, Poland, Ukraine, and Turkey in an alliance serving as a buffer zone to Europe, getting funding from the EU and building tech incubators to get US military investment. Of course I said, āso fortress Europe can be even more insulated with a layer of buffer from a nationalistic slavic alliance?ā to which she excitedly said āYES!ā She finished by saying that they would need to foster a sense of national identity for people to coalesce around. I had to ask her how much the USA is involved in all this and she said āthey donāt care enough to helpā lol.
She also said she wants Belarus to take back Vilnius as a ākind of jokeā.
I think she was honest with me as well. Just crazy how the āhacker sceneā is so well called to heel for the US empire.

A joke that would not fly well with the Polish nazis.
