WTF are you talking about? I’m sorry, I can’t parse what you’ve said as a response to what I said. I do, however, hear that you are very angry. I’m sorry for your frustration and hope you are able to figure out some positive way to channel that energy. I agree, there’s a lot going on in the world that is super-upsetting. I just don’t think we’ll solve anything by dehumanizing broad swathes of the population. Sure, some people are assholes and they’re certainly over-represented among Trump supporters. But, for example, the other dude who responded about his mother. Someone like her is not such a black-and-white case. And, generally, more is accomplished by trying to understand the motivations of others than by dismissing them as bad people.
If that let’s you disengage from the issue, then OK. But, alas, reality is more nuanced than that.
A lot of it boils down to abortion. When you see abortion as baby murder, it would take an awful lot to offset that moral significance. In other words, many who support Trump wouldn’t exactly condone rape, corruption, etc, but they feel abortion is a much larger moral issue.
In fact, reality is not apparently basically rational. Why does anything exist at all? Surely, the trivial solution would be a simpler state of affairs. Why is existence not nothing forever? Why there exists anything instead of nothing (let alone you and me, in particular) does not stand to reason.
I doubt it. I don’t think information that doesn’t involve him directly even enters into his awareness.
I suggest spending it on additional defamation lawsuits against Donald Trump.
This is the correct answer if privacy is your priority. They’re not particularly cheap, however.
Shall we unite behind God-King Trump then? The more decentralized and “competitive” the system, the better for most individuals. Sure, there is inefficiency, but those inefficiencies might save us from fascism.
It’s almost like there aren’t two sides at all…
Chuck 'em in the garbage and get something that doesn’t break when you insist on privacy.
“Absolutely. And other powers. It doesn’t have to be foreign powers.”
NSA has entered the chat.
I mean… There is. But, Trump’s side represents a much more imminent and intentional threat.
Fair enough.
Thank you for the detailed response! I’m going to give it a try! This will be a step up from OpenWRT on a cheap router, I’ll bet!
If it is of interest, I actually decided to try Threema as a result of folks recommending it in this thread and like it a lot! Similar functionality to Olvid, but faster & more responsive.
all while the climate continues to fuck us.
To be fair, I believe the consensus is that we fucked the climate first.
$44b is enough for 25 guys to spend $50k per day on hookers and blow for more than 96 straight years!
Because someone submitted it and nobody removed it.
Is this the pee pee tape dossier?
