Proton has a business model where they want the user to put their eggs all in one basket. If you want that kind of userbase you need to leave your personal politics out of it. The problem isn’t that the CEO is right wing. It’s that he is very publicly right wing. Supports a known huckster. And lastly could be vying for a role in the administration. All of this calls into question just for how long Proton will be secure before they are selling user info to the state.
Politics are very fucking important in terms of security when you’re a whistleblower or dissident.

Lighter weight and more performant. Should be a drop in replacement
So not a long time in norn irn then. Understood
You referenced come out ye black and tans, and are currently shitting on the idea of an armed populace, I linked a resource for armed socialists and you shit on that too. I asked about if you’ve ever spent any time in Northern Ireland, and you dodge the question.
What this tells me is you have no understanding of what you’re talking about. Feign solidarity with a historically oppressed people. Finally you’re using other’s struggles to stir shit on a public forum with little regard or understanding of what you’re saying.
I would invite you to head up to Derry. Pop in a pub, start up a rousing chorus of Come Out Ye Black an Tans and stir the same shit. Lettem know how great a violent struggle is, ask em to tell the tales of their troubles. See what community outreach you find there after that.
How much time have you spent in Northern Ireland?

Please explain the axial scar on your thumb

Democratic leadership didn’t want Trump elected. They don’t have the same levers of power with a Republican majority government.
Dem leadership however has been very disconnected from what the common voter experiences since Clinton. Obama and his grass roots efforts were too large to ignore. They made changes to the process during Obama’s second term to favor establishment candidates and representatives. Then made further changes in 2016/2020 during those primaries and didn’t hold primaries in 2024.
These led to low voter engagement as they didn’t talk about what the common voter was upset about. And during Biden’s presidency didn’t highlight Republican obstructionism nor did they do anything that would’ve lowered prices for Americans like medicare for all or breaking up grocery/pharmaceutical/agribusiness monopolies that were price gouging under the auspice of inflation.
This all led to Harris not being elected, not Trump being elected. This is however a pedantic distinction in a two party system.
Sanders in 2016 proved that only the Dem Party leader interests matter to the Dem Party.
In the global terms of political discourse the Democratic party is as of the most recent election now Center Right and the Republican party is Far Right. The Dems in the US, in recent history, started moving to the right with Clinton, arrived at the center with Obama and have now moved into the right with Biden/Harris/Walz.

I didn’t even think to look there! Thanks for being patient with me. I forget there is a whole fediverse you can link together.
Do you support Chinese or Russian imperialism? Do you think Uyghurs are being peacefully integrated into society? Do you think the Ukranian president is a Nazi? Was Assad forcefully ousted by Western powers for merely doing what is best for Syria? Does China have a right to control Taiwan and all territorial waters around Taiwan? Is North Korea the greatest and most transparent democracy?
The US is currently complicit in a genocide that BiBi and Trump are looking to expand. Australia is expanding and encouraging a genocide in Papua New Guinea for mineral rights on the islands. Germany is flirting with literal Nazis because of energy prices. The Entire West is overlooking slavery in Saudi Arabia for cheap oil.
If you make apologies for “Communist” imperialism and only decry Western imperialiasm you might be a tankie. That’s the general definition as I understand it. I’m happy to be corrected and learn more.
Can you define center-left in global terms and then in the context of US politics? There’s a very important distinction there that you are glossing over.
Yup. Mutual aid and mutual security are closely tied. Any top down heirarchal structure, no matter how temporary you’re told it will be, is against the interests of the workers/proletariat/commoner.
Communists worked closely with fascists in Italy to have anarchists killed when Mussolini was in power.

They’re obviously trying so hard for regulatory capture in the states it’s embarrassing.
