More than “mildly infuriating”, this is deeply depressing.

(And seeing TikTok two times there don’t make things better…)

    You read one title and one tweet and assume a guys whole identity. WTF. Also Proton is owned by it’s employees and a non-profit. https://proton.me/about/team There are many other people there. Also the tweet was a picture. Also if it is real it’s not that bad to compliment a president on choosing a guy that actually is listening about what you have to say against big tech.

      Yeah, I’m not a “Trumper,” but the amount of preemptive conclusions and quick judgments people make, especially those who claim to be tolerant and empathetic, is quite hypocritical.

      I don’t deny that I sometimes jump to conclusions too, but I’m amazed at how people don’t even bother to research for even a few seconds! They see a picture, realize it’s not a person destroying something Trump tweeted, notice other comments that jump to conclusions, and that’s all it takes for them to make their own conclusions.

      If those in charge’s goal is to divide us and stifle critical thinking, they’ve been remarkably successful. It’s a shame because humans could achieve so many incredible things if we weren’t constantly divided and consumed by hatred.

      Yes, I did assume that he’s extremely stupid if he thinks anything good could ever come from Trump. It’s not like he’s some mysterious unknown quantity at this point, we’ve been through this before. Also what happened to italics1?
