  • Well, I am concerned. I paid $100+ on a proton bundle subscription during the Black Friday sale, it came with half a terabyte cloud storage, a fast and Private vpn, and a proton pass which integrates well with the email provider. It was cheap, and private, and it all works well together.

    Proton is owned 60 something percent by the proton non profit organisation, which makes regular donations to other private project’s like GrapheneOS. It’s worked well for me. But this is really concerning considering I oppose fascism, and broadly want to support a leftist, anti-capitalist movement.

    This also sucks because the far right want their internet privacy as much as the anti capitalist left. Does this mean proton is an evil company, that even if it has good, private technology, should be boycotted? When frankly, if the left boycotted, and didn’t participate in any capitalist organisation, we would likely starve to death.

    Could this just be a marketing issue? Ffs the consumer should not be blamed for the faults of a company, and using their product.










  • I think this is mostly good, because raising the cigarette each year will mean children who never smoked, didn’t get the addiction can’t get it just because its cool.

    Do I think there should be more of a focus on limiting the sellers and distributors as opposed to the addicted consumers? Yes. Is this happening? According to the dotpoints yes.

    Does the “smoking will remain legal inside the house” mean new 18 year olds can smoke inside there house? Idk, without big tobacco, and limiting the smoking market overall health will improve.






  • We can’t be opposed to the Gazan genocide and at the same time use genocidal language like “ejecting them from the region.” Them being Jewish people. Yes Israel should be sanctioned, and militarily invaded. Benjamin Netenyahu should be assassinated, and the country needs to be rid of the Zionist ideology. But there is simply no way to mass migrate a large population without great pain and suffering.

    Plus, if the Israeli people, the citizens not the elitist leaders and soldiers, were moved from their country, where would they go? To cause more violence in the regions they move to? The Israeli people have been subject to large scale mass international propaganda, they need to be deradicilized, not treated like parasites.

    I agree with having a firm, radical opposition to genocide, but individually, morally it is not good to use words like “flatten” or “eject.” I understand the anger, I think we all feel it.
