  • The point is that they are supposed to be a neutral party. It doesn’t matter if they are pro-Trump or not, what matters is that they are a fucking privacy service. I don’t want my privacy beholden to any party affiliation. I don’t want to worry if my information is going to be sold to whomever the party-du-jour is. I want the security that comes with the understanding that my privacy is what is most important to them. When they get on a rant about who does what and to whom, I have to wonder if that means that they’ll serve my info up on a silver platter when I start getting emails from a party they don’t like. I don’t give a fuck what they said about either party, what I give a fuck about is what any of it means for the information that passes through their system. I need some aspect of my fucking life to be party agnostic. As it stands, I’m not even sure I can count on my fucking refrigerator to not report back what brands of beer I buy because some company may or may not support Trans rights. Just give me a goddamned moment’s peace while I filter my junk mail.









  • Lmao. You call America “colonies” in the same breath you say you don’t want to get involved in others politics. Europe was built on exactly that. America was a European colony. The only reason Europe stopped colonizing is because you were too broke after World War II to continue. You didn’t “learn a lesson”, you got your asses kicked by an art school drop out. All you Europeans like to pretend you are so enlightened, but you’re just too broke to go back to your old ways. Like a crackhead who says they’ve kicked the habit, but really they can’t afford the fix. As soon as you get a little bit if that juice you are right back on your bullshit. The hard swing to the right in European politics is evidence enough of that.


  • There is a certain level of dark irony in this situation that I am enjoying. I’ve heard so much bullshit about “America, fix your country!” And now it’s your problem, and it turns out that it isn’t so easy to do when the rules aren’t written for you. The rules are always written by those in power to stay in power, and for all the huffing and puffing Europe has done despite the cluster fuck of Brexit, it turns out you really aren’t in a much better position to effect change than we are.

    And before anyone gets any ideas about saying, “Well, the oligarchs got their power in America,” why don’t you take a look at where the money comes from and where the addresses on the tax free, no questions asked bank vaults lead to. Europe has been enabling this shit for centuries.
