			===== '''What are the interesting, boring or simply digital rights stuff have you been engaging with throughout the last month?''' =====
			'''Internet Security & Far Right in USA'''

			One interesting thing is the dichotomy of types of people who care about internet security: there seem to be people who are very far left and then people who are very far right politically, and in the US at least, there is very little middle ground. For example, a calyx user who doesn't want to pay through paypal because "paypal supports woke" and it's very clear that they have very opposite politics from calyx, but they don't seem to understand that calyx also "supports woke" because digital security isn't necessarily just a far left issue.

			In the US there seem to be lots of people who are far right politically but believe in and practice digital security because they don't trust our government (which, to be fair, no american should, but in this case it is different) because they are conspiracy theorists.
