Sorry if this isn’t the right place. But the comments here spurred this train of thought.
It seems everyone agrees that the ultra wealthy are the real problem. Yet there is always consistent divisive arguments about which group of people that the wealthy should be oppressing ‘more’.
Men and women of every race are being brutalized by a system that doesn’t give two shits about us. This system is governed by people who are incapable of empathy.
Studies and articles are released constantly detailing the destruction of our society/civilisation and instead of humans banding against the monsters that control the wealth (and, by extension, the world), yet we argue amongst ourselves.
We are being systematically turned on each other so that the 1% can become the .1%. Until the 99% can actually co-operate against the system, we are doomed to repeat this God forsaken cycle.
You are only as safe as you let yourself be.
I’ve had no issues with most of the sites in the mega thread, and if you utilise a bit of common sense you should be fine.
Get a VPN, download Malwarebytes and check the torrent comments before you download anything. New torrent with zero comments and no way for you to verify? If it’s not a site you have grown to trust, give it a miss for a week. Even if you do trust the site, if something in your head says “this isn’t right”, just wait or find an alternative.
Most other content is easy because hiding malware inside of a movie torrent is more difficult and easier to detect. Games require you to pay a bit of attention because I can name any malware I want “setup.exe” and a lot of people will mindlessly open it expecting a game to install.
For what it’s worth, I used FitGirl when I was a student and didn’t have any troubles with her packs. Not sure if anything has changed in the last ~4 years though.
