Hi, I'm Trevor Moore. Did you know that it's illegal to say "I want to kill the President of the United States of America"?

Completely missed my point. There's nothing beneficial about a retributive standpoint based on distrusting an entire identity group because of statistical averages. Cathartic I'm sure (on a purely non-thinking and surface level), but then you're no better than the people you're criticizing in that regard. It's entirely emotional, quite like the people in charge of the US right now.

I'll always be baffled by the blatant hypocrisy on display in sentiments such as these. As if an eye for an eye has ever led to anything more than two blind people.

Definitely not when it comes to the root causes. Trump was created by the past ~100 years of US society and government, he didn't just pop in out of nowhere. He's very much a "mask off" type of politician, and the rot runs far, far deeper than what he reveals.

https://www.startpage.com/ is based in the Netherlands, works really well too in my opinion. I've been using it ever since I started actively avoiding Google.

Edit: One caveat is that it's majorly owned by an American parent company.
