@EmperorHenry do... Do you think you're somehow immune to this today? People who piss off the powers that be today are silenced pretty effectively. Nobody needs any digital ID infrastructure to do that.

@SnotFlickerman what do you work at facebook or something? this kinda privacy doomerism is honestly way worse than any false promises by nordvpn or whatever.
nobody should evaluate security or privacy by looking at something and saying 'is this perfect?' because of course it isnt. security is all about understanding the risks youre taking, and choosing to accept risks that are manageable - and that's absolutely something like proton can help you do

@SnotFlickerman where's your Lemmy instance

@Tosti have you ever tried unionizing a workplace? Turns out it's actually pretty hard, especially when people know it's a million times safer to just go get a new job than get fired for union activism

@GiveMemes you're misunderstanding me. I'm not saying you're on the side of the men with guns because you're asking questions about anarchy. I'm saying that because you literally live in a world whose status quo is enforced by violence, and you are advocating for the institutions which enforce that status quo as necessary.

@GiveMemes that's what current society is. You just happen to be on the side of the men with guns

@drphungky actually, I journalists ARE supposed to disclose their personal biases. It feels much worse to me when media personalities pretend to be objective. They aren't. I think the idea that we should discourage the disclosure if personal opinion is actually really bad for media literacy

@wintermute_oregon mistakes don't make it not a war crime bruv

@The_Hideous_Orgalorg my person, what you believe does not matter. You are giving the impression of someone who hates gay people, using arguments that have been popular in anti gay politics for a long time. Nobody here has to put up with that. There are lots of ways to talk about being put off by something that doesn't remind gay people of someone who wants to kill them

@3L54 it's not hypocrisy. Assuming you're speaking in good faith, which is... Arguable, this is only inconsistent with YOUR values.
You're assuming that there is some shared taboo against political violence in general, and that each position is equally valid. I don't think nazi beliefs deserve that. I, like most people, believe my own philosophy to be different from Nazi thought - I hate people based off their conscious decisions rather than immutable characteristics like race.
