I’m from the generation of hackers who’s old enough to have believed in the hacker’s manifesto but young enough to have spread the whole of “white hat/black hat” meme and yeah… It was completely bullshit the whole time. Today there are still people who I talk to who are like “oh, you’re not one of those bad hackers though, right?” Like which ones? The ones who work for governments or who keep banks from getting hacked, cause yeah I’ve worked on DRM and helped keep things expensive that should be free. It feels bad because it is bad, and they lie to you and tell you you’re “making sure Grandma is safe on the internet” but these fucking companies are feeding your grandmas conspiracy theories. They are the bad ones, and the “white hats” are keeping the injustice going…just like some other motherfuckers who like to wear white hoods and defend the status quo.
Yeah, fuck that. Illegalism is 100% legit and I wish you the best.
