It’s difficult enough for getting people to switch from whatsapp to signal.

I don’t know how successful i’d be to get people to switch to simplex.

Is there a particular reason that you don’t recommend signal?

I get what you’re saying but I don’t think it’s higher birth rates either. This falls into a neoMalthusian trap that assumes that we don’t have enough resources when it’s the privatization of goods and services that makes production and access to goods stagnant and inefficient.

The implication of saying it’s birth rates will shift the blame on those who have children, and those are historically poorer people in rural areas/less affluent communities/the global south.

Besides, if you look at consumption per capita it is the richer areas and less populated areas in the world that are using the most energy, polluting the most, and consuming the most.

open borders does not lower wages when you consider the whole imperialist dynamic of wealth transfer that has forced migrants to find work elsewhere. Furthermore wages get lowered because of the capitalist profit motive.

can someone pleaseee think of the oligarchy PLEAAAASE.

DEMOCRACY (copyrighted/trademarked) IS AT STAKE!!

yeah, and not just leftist. you can have the most liberal and bourgeois-backed nationalist project just to secure some kind of national sovereignty and there will still be a coup. Case point: Iran and Mosaddegh.

Imperialism will sap the wealth of countries and peoples for short term gains, regardless of the economic system.

i call this a doubling down… there’s only so much fake constructed lies of reality until it just breaks the brain of followers.

all the best to them (not)

while this is welcoming news during this atrocious time of the zionist genocidal assault against Palestinians, I am curious of the details. Is this 1967 borders? What about the facts on the ground that zionism has created to make a two state model incapable?

Do we really want to normalize having a new Palestine state existing in a quasi-like existence next to this genocidal state? How far will that go? Will AOC and others say Palestine has the right to defend itself and arm it with iron dome?

Furthermore Israel should not be off the hook in the important work of dismantling colonial regimes.

The only possible way forward is to equalize existence for all peoples on the lands, irrespective of their religion, ethnicity, or who they are. Ethno-nationalist state models like zionism deserve the trashbin of history and I dare any one upholding liberal values to defend an ethno-nationalist state now or in the future, but we all know they’ve done an trash job in the past.

I also think the same way. If it was short form content of the same subject, ok maaaaybe the brain won’t be so clusterfucked. but as it is, it’s so random it’s just frying our brains.

can ya hear that hogan? the shit winds are coming for ya

Good explanation, and I figured the same.

I feel the ‘encrypted at rest’ is then a false sense of security. Alas it is much better than gmail, etc.

They slandered his name so much during the labour leadership.

It’s about time he left a vile party.

I didn’t read their comment in that style at all. This is slander to the nth degree and the enemies are plotting to NOT MAKE POSTING GREAT AGAIN. I WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN ON MY WATCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

excuse me ignorance, but I understand that once you receive mail from someone with shared pgp keys, they’d have no way to read the contents.

But when I receive an email from any service that sends me mail, or from a friend that doesn’t use PGP, it sits encrypted in my account… but how do we know proton isn’t ‘reading’ the contents when it is delivered and before it is encrypted in the account?

Is there a possibility of data mining or them storing the contents on their end? like a mirror image?

This is what decades of right wingers calling democrats as communists will do to their worldview.

If they are banking on a strategy of ignorance, then we have nothing to worry about comrades; eventually their imagined reality will collapse and their strategy will be broken.

we might laugh at this but I think this is useful. Even though I wouldn’t use something like this and I’d just use a regular dedicated blank notebook and my password manager, it can be useful to people who have problems with computers and can’t handle a password manager, yet may give pages with good templates to show how to record sensitive information.

basically any product advertised just because i’m spiteful like that lmao

i think the key is to have a certain balance. Stay positive in certain aspects of your life activities, have principles and interests. Be true to them. Cherish those that mean a lot to you and appreciate them everyday.

But to quote a rage against the machine lyric “if ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face”

so those scam popups that scare people by saying their webcam was hacked and took pictures of them while looking at porn is getting state sanction!

I don’t think many even know what a communist is or what communism is about. it just makes them feel upset when they hear the word because of constant corporate mass media conditioning.

If in the future i’m ever forced to drop smart phones because of further proprietary/removal of open source option then i’m definitely going this route.

have a dumb phone and just rely on a good laptop.

On second thought… maybe this is the way.
