Fuck this sucks to see. What an incredibly stupid thing to tweet. He got absolutely cooked in the replies as he deserved to. Trying to pass it off as purely based on policy then when users bring up a comparison of dems anti trust policy vs Republicans he is silent.
I got a year subscription and I almost finished moving everything over to protonmail. But I cannot support someone who genuinely thinks the Republicans are a positive force.
There’s no ethic consumption under capitalism, unfortunately.
Bookmarking and praying to learn this painful lesson for real this time😤
I completely disagree with that stupid phrase.
That’s your right. But when I look at the things I own, I see the suffering it caused to other humans beings. My shirt was probably made in a sweatshop, my smartphone has Congolese children blood in it, my car is destroying our environment … and I see no actual alternatives to these. I just try to change these things as little as possible.

He probably knows more than me, but after a brief search Gail Slater works for internet association, which is a lobbying group backed by all the big tech you can imagine; then worked for Trump for a bit; and finally ends up working for Fox and Ruku, two companies with no anti-trust (Fox-Disney merger, happened in Trump term) and dumping concerns.
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Slater and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Association
Honestly, I didn’t know people working for Fox and Ruku always had the noble goal of breaking up the very companies that pay her bills. But I would love to be proven wrong.
I have also found no evidence that the several anti-trust law suit (visa, google, apple, etc.) started at Trump term. If so, the DOJ is really taling their sweet time, because all these suit has just started…
If only it was a cult.
It’s actually something far more dangerous, and very simple really - Trump 2.0 is pay-to-win.
Super underrated comment.
I’m stealing this and never crediting you
God dammit Proton. Fine, I’ll switch to Tuta…
Tuta is not a CIA or Five Eyes honeypot.
Is that Parler, didnt they suck off Trump 4+ years ago?
No, it’s Proton. https://lemmy.ml/post/24811284
I don’t think making a cringe post is the same as donating millions of dollars to trump’s inaugural fund.
After reading their official stance I don’t doubt that if Proton was a US company and they had millions of dollars they would be donating them too.
I like how you think they’d have to be a US company to donate
