Thank you Democrat spiters. You totally succeeded. The genocide was halted entirely. /s

It seems you misunderstood webp entirely

A reason for praise

Every browser supports it which is mostly what matters so you’re definitely not right about this

Still better than the destruction those fucks are bringing to the world.

The accelerationist fucks can all get fucked. We told you spreading anti-democratic sentiment and allowing those doing so to lie on social media would lead to shit like this but no, we had to be told we love genocide and be otherwise dismissed. We were fucking right and any rational, un brainwashed person could see it.

Inb4 “oh you can’t allow any criticism of Democrats. Duopoly, fascist. GeNoCiDe bLuE mAgA blahhh”.

Yeah we all can and certainly should be unloading criticism on democrats but when you’re headed to a country-ending election you are an irresponsible idiot if you can’t do it with the caveat that it’s extremely important to vote against trump. We’re reaping what these idiots sowed and it probably will mostly hurt society’s most vulnerable.

People always call Linus Torvalds an asshole, but I’ve yet to see anything from him that didn’t make sense. And the fact that he eventually took community feedback and decided to take time off to deal with his anger issues is commendable.

Linus TT can go and fuck itself though.

I would probably agree with you to some degree within other contexts, but I do not see anything like that here. It’s easy, vote with your wallet. Don’t like something a company or its executives do? Don’t give them money, done, easy.

Praising trump for something he hasn’t even done yet seems like a no brainer to me. It’s indicative of an attitude held by the person that can make sweeping changes to Proton as a company. I don’t see how it’s controversial honestly. If this post also showed a campaign of people demanding everyone stop using proton over this opinion, maybe you’d have a point. Spreading it for awareness is a good thing, not “hysteria”.

Edit: One last thing, can you provide evidence that any of this originated in America? “You are on the inside and don’t see it” is not evidence.

Weird, I noticed all my comments got a downvote by the time I loaded your replies. In any case, reading so much into a downvote might also fall under “misreading tone”. Kinda laughable to me in any case that downvoting could correlate to such political turmoil which is what you seem to be saying.

Is this thread hysterical? I don’t think so. Only saw like 3 people saying they would see this as a sign to stop patronizing the company, which makes sense to me entirely. You might be misreading the tone here.

…this is their CEO. “One of their employees” couldn’t possibly be more unrepresentative here.

His insinuation that Democrats are supported by big business is also fairly defensible

The truth comes out. You think this is a “both sides” thing, and you agree with it.

No, what’s being said ITT is that he’s praising trump prematurely and people don’t want to support a business run by people who do that. Incredibly simple, and might I add, logical.

Avoiding giving your money to companies that go against your politics isn’t some irrational “tainted” concept. Not sure why you’re insisting it is. It’s just not supporting things you don’t want to happen. These companies donate to and otherwise push forward bad policy. Also, still not sure where you got that Americans invented any of this, or how it would relate to the recent increase in polarization

Americans did not invent the idea of voting with their wallets. What a preposterous claim
