How much more pain can the US economy really withstand? I keep hearing about the mismanagement and how costly their mistakes have been (the Iran war, overspending on AI compared to China, the US debt, etc.)

I keep hearing over and over that they are messing up, but when will their economy actually collapse? This might sound ignorant I’m sorry. I genuinely don’t understand how they are still alive

If your sense of right and wrong depends on a map or a label, then I don’t think you have principles… you just have a tribe

I was afraid Proton would eventually go down the far right route… and it seems like my fears came true

Not everyone here is American but honestly with the way Dems are constantly punching left and compromising to the right while ignoring economic issues I doubt they’ll stop fascism

Ummm if you’re really serious about privacy wouldn’t you have already switched to GrapheneOS and Linux? Like people who actually care about this stuff avoid Google, Microsoft… and proprietary software like the plague

If surveillance is the worry shouldn’t that same skepticism apply beyond just China? I dunno it kinda feels less about privacy and more about a specific distrust, you know?
