Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Holy shit dude, talk about binary braindead mentalities. Yeah, it's true that a lot of the discussion around this misses a lot of important information, but this shit is literally a matter life and death here now for some people, and Andy Yen made that post right in the middle of a whole bunch of tech CEOs all kissing the ring. Americans are on edge for a damn good reason. That's a good article, and I'm pretty convinced the whole thing was overblown, but if you can't understand the difference between not trusting the guy who just praised a fascist and "trying to infect the rest of the world" then don't fucking talk about other people being too binary in their thinking.

But I have already sharpened my pitchfork.

Thanks for sharing the other side of the story.

Thanks for sharing this. I saw Andy's tweet and the outrage and did not form an understanding deeper than "people who dislike Trump are upset at Proton".

I've bookmarked this link and will share it when I see this topic brought up.

Thank you for posting this, it's convincing.

Hear, hear!

It has always been. FOSS is by itself political, just beyond the basic binary logic of left/right.

Your apoliticism is a political instance as well. Take for instance this quoute from Desmond Tutu "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

I'm not saying you have to ditch Proton over their CEO's takes, my point is that thinking that everything suddenly became political is naive.

Everything has always been political. Just because you're too privileged to notice that until someone mentions a viewpoint you dislike doesn't mean anything except that you're usually oblivious.
