  • Oh, you’re right, it was actually 57% of registered voters in California that refused to vote against him and vote for Kamala.

    Just because you live in a system doesn’t mean that voting absolves you of all blame for the current crisis. You still live in the US and you still indirectly support American foreign policy. You still live in a world that is crumbling because authoritarians are bullying the civilians of the world.

    Americans having to pay a fraction of what Europeans or the global south has to pay for gas is completely fair. The US started this war. The war has not ended yet.

    At the very least, the 57% of you who encouraged this behavior might change their mind after this pain.

    There is too much apathy in the US. You can’t just live in a bubble and pretend everything will be OK while World War 3 is starting.







  • The UN used to be involved in peacekeeping. The problem is that the world is more divided than it was before. UN peacekeepers used to patrol Gaza. They defended South Korea.

    As it is now, the US has completely removed most funding from the UN. Even if the deliberative bodies wanted to be more involved in world conflicts, they don’t have the funding anymore to do so. Trump is trying to strangle the UN to make room for his dictator council.










  • Maybe they’ve changed the website, but when I started using Proton, they never gave me any warning about paying with a credit card.

    Anyways, my point is that both the government and service here need to be changed. Switzerland should not be responding to subpoenas from a fascist regime, protonmail should not be based in Switzerland, and Protonmail is too captured by capitalists that want to be Google to have the morals to give up instead of giving in.

    See Mullvad for example of a service that will just not offer services like port forwarding instead of pretending they’re secure. They have the same credit card opsec issue but they actively discourage it, and they don’t pretend that unencrypted email is secure.
