Under a section titled “State Sovereignty,” the platform states: “Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified.

Holy based!

“Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto.”

Referendum won’t do shit, but I love the idea of putting it back in people’s minds.

@nk @xianc78 @Shadowman311 Here's some tips I've found over time and oh boy there's a lot:
1. Consider what every post you make would look like with your real face and name attached to it. This is honestly the most important one from experience and I follow this all the time. As a bonus learning to paraphrase things will likely convince more people.
2. Never reuse usernames across more than one site, and especially not on any website where you're making yourself a target. Case in point, making a poa.st account is riskier than making a FSE/SPC/bae.st account. Ditto with posting on kf.net (not so much kf.cc, the fedi instance).

Pick an identity from say a movie character or some shit, or something popular + random numbers, or shit go on one of those "identity generator" sites.
3. Be careful when signing up for other sites/joining other Discord servers, especially if they're balls deep in enemy territory and especially if you're going to fuck with them. Use a VPN and different email address. Common sense these days I know, but lots of people still make this mistake.

Plus, you never know which wagie working at the ISP call center that day might give out your address. Remember the very first scene in the movie Hackers once the guy's released from prison where he's calling up the guy to get access to the TV network and pretending to be a tech guy? That happens IRL a lot.

Or here's a more harmless prank call involving social engineering (some of the nastier PrankNet calls revolved around this too which led to $$$ in property damage and lots of charges):

This is more likely with you know, tech industry centered troons and the like.
4. Get your name removed from the "people listing" sites by searching yourself. Protip: voting in many states also gets you onto these and self doxes you. Whoops.
5. This is important too, don't make enemies if you don't want them. This sounds stupid but remember, I know a crusty troon who was whining that "nazis" wanted him dead, before admitting that he was not only doxing people but sending them to his antifa buddies for "direct action". That's like bragging that you're a gang member telling his homies your address.
6. Don't namedrop too many of your interests and hobbies and especially if they're niche shit. If they're niche shit, someone from your past is far more likely to say HE'S THAT GUY.
7. Don't trust anyone too much. Ricky Vaughn (the e-celeb on Twitter who named himself after the Major League character) got doxed in part because of this, and because a lot of political scenes on the fringe devolve into purity spirals and online fights. The same shit goes on with antifa groups all the time.

Plus what if your friend gets a FBI visit and they seize his devices and find your edgy memes? Remember the guy in CVille got 419 years in prison where the evidence that it was a "hate crime" revolved around edgy memes on his phone, and the Jogger case had the same thing apply. Edgy shit that you said while angry can and will be used against you.
8. Probe files for metadata before you post them, .doc/.docx files are the worst offenders along with image files. On a related note, don't fucking click on Google Drive/Docs links unless you're in a private tab/vpn not logged in. If you're logged in it'll tell the uploader who is looking at it.
9. If you're streaming, use another PC or OS install to do it. This is another way people get doxed or have embarrassing shit (usually fetishes) outed. Ditto if you're going to be leaking stuff. If you have a work or school device ALWAYS assume it's backdoored/keylogging/monitoring you.
10. This circles back to 1, but don't post photos of yourself doing anything illegal, like doing drugs or showing off illegal guns. Of course with Red Flag laws about to pass, don't even imply you have guns or might be a part of an illegal political group. Don't put gun maker or gun boomer stickers on your car, don't open carry in Lowe's while wearing an infowars shirt.
