Yeah, but having a Visa/Mastercard duopoly is already a precarious position before they even decide what to censor. This is just the canary in the coalmine, need to diversify, in different countries if possible.

Nice strawman.

Everyone has their path into activism and politicization. Last time this happened was when wikileaks got blocked by visa/mastercard, next time, with this experience it may be one of those causes.

I would say they aren't as bad as alcohol and gambling, which are pervasive...some of them are just...art...some aren't :D I could ask you the same about lots of other things, from music to literature. I just don't like book burning. If someone put their effort into creating something that they thought was worth creating, why is it up to anyone to ban it for any adult that wants to see it?

Depends on who the leaders are. ~~Some~~ Many weaponize religion for their own aims and their ends justify the means. Some are peaceful, tolerant and constructive, all based off the very same texts.

You're making a lot of value judgements without a whole lot of evidence to back them up. My point is perfect atheist: religious movements are a type of politics with certain aims (not exactly unions, but incidentally communion, charity, etc). It is you who are saying that religion is somehow a special phenomenon who puts them above other ways to organize society...for the worse. Maybe you think that it is because it is irrational and metaphysical. There is plenty of metaphysics in the form of utopias (heaven) in politics, saints/prophets (cult of personality). You just say that bad comes out of religion, but not out of politics...yeah...ok.

What undeniable good thing comes from politics?

Yeah, not a fan, but she's a good representative of the EPP and all it stands for.

I just wanted the EU to fork lineageOS and provide it as an alternative in major chains.
