I mean there are guys that buy thousands in gear but won't spend the money on a quality VPN and learn how to use encrypted messaging. I swear if something does actually happen it will fail simply because most people don't recognize how important cyber security is.
The sad reality is the ATF doesn't need to go door to door seizing guns and let citizens die in a defiant blaze of glory. Paypal and Discover card can simply choose to suspend payment services for organization or individuals they don't like (they already do), social media will shame you into socially complying for fear of destroying your entire life, and if you do use a gun to defend yourself from the mob, the courts will fuck you. The sad truth of the matter is tyranny is likely to get worse and most rifles will simply be range toys and sit in a safe.
People are more eager for a revolution than ever before on both sides, the problem is no one really wants to start it because if it doesn't immediately gain momentum, you will rot in a maximum security for the rest of your life.
I dunno, man. Learning how to encrypt communications and take basic, toddler-level OPSEC precautions might take a whole afternoon. Plus I hate onions, so why would I want to learn about onion routing? And VPNs would reduce my ammo budget. /s
Seriously, you good-for-nothing autists, take a couple of days and educate yourselves. I'll even make it easy by giving you a list of shit to look up. Remember one thing: there is no such thing as secure. It doesn't exist. The goal is MORE secure than wide-fucking-open.
TOR - The Onion Routing - torproject.org - Not perfect thanks to several poisoned entry/exit nodes, but someone has to SERIOUSLY want to fuck with you to find you. Enjoy the latency!
VPN - Virtual Private Network - Don't trust free services. Find one hosted offshore in a nation with no record retention laws. OFFSHORE. I cannot stress that enough. Every one of these is going to do some logging for troubleshooting, but the big names are far better than posting from your actual public IP address. Doubly (quadroupally?) so if you're pairing it with TOR.
PKI - Public Key Infrastructure (edited, sorry, drinking) - All the nonrepudiation and security you could want, provided you're not so fucking stupid that you expose your private key. It would literally take a traditional supercomputer until after the heat death of the universe to crack a 8192 bit RSA key. Quantum shit makes it more vulnerable, but you're not important enough to need to think about that. Bonus points if you look up PGP.
Canary tokens - Wanna know if someone's snooping around in your system? Put a .docx file labeled "financial info" or "passwords" on your desktop and get an email every time someone opens it!
Passwords - qwertycards.com will, for $5, send you an essentially impossible to replicate cipher for your passwords. Couple that cipher with a password longer than 12 characters and you're golden! If used as directed it'll basically give you unique passwords for every account you have.
Quick note here about passwords: Check if you've been compromised at haveibeenpwned.com. It's not a complete record of every breach, but it's a helluva start. If you use the same password everywhere, and I did for a long time, stop! Take the extra 10 seconds to look up the password you've got for every account in a...
Password manager - I use Keepass2. Store your passwords there instead of your browser. It's a hassle, but if you're serious about privacy it's the only way to go.
Encrypted and disguised volumes - You're gonna fuck this up, let's be real. Look up VeraCrypt and, if you're borderline sober, give it a shot. It'll hide most anything in an encrypted part of your hard drive which looks like whatever you want it to look like. Foot porn? Waifu documentary? An image of Gun Jesus? Knock yourself out. All can be used as a front to hide several gigabytes of CAD files. Someone might ask questions if you've got a 40GB .png file, though, so be smart and hide larger stuff in .mp4 or .mov formats.
There's loads more, but I'm lazy and you're gonna get sidetracked before you get to the end of that list anyway. If you don't, then you'll run into more stuff while looking this up, and that'll keep you occupied indefinitely.
I can vouch for VeraCrypt. Another thing to mention, that's been mentioned here before, is don't log into your public profiles, (Facebook, email, etc.) if you're trying to hide on your VPN.

Desperation creates people who are willing to dance with lone wolves. There are plenty of would-be Nasims, except with better training and better weapons.
How much does it cost for VPN when I talk to my neighbor?
Remember when the military did a war game against Iran and Iran won because the general sent messages by nondescrip messengers on scooters? Anyway Yeah, that was a classic. The next time they ran the game they said Iran has to use the radio abmnd the internet.
