I have neither time, resources nor know-how to like go all out on data privacy. But I try doing things like using Proton for Mail, browsing with DuckDuckGo or Ecosia, messaging on Signal instead of WhatsApp, etc.

But I'm having a hard time responding to people who say "why do you do that, it's completely pointless since companies like Google have all of our data anyways unless we go all out, and nobody has time for all the effort that takes".

I have never in my life met a person who thought that insects aren't animals, what are you talking about?

I think that's a thing in many Central European countries

That's not what happened though, is it? Where and when did this situation you are alluding to happen?

Yeah no, saying fascists aren't human beings isn't "funny" or "quirky". Is fascists dying a beautiful thing? Sure. But they're still humans.

Conservative =/= Republican. Some of the perceptions in the US are skewed so far to the right that you don't even realise how conservative the Democratic Party is. In a lot of other countries in the world, there are like 3-4 major parties left of where Obama stood, but only like 1, maybe 2, right of him.

If we're being honest, everything Robert gets paid for could be classified as child labour sometimes

"Some More News" and "Hood Politics"

Also what these articles always fail to consider: Usually protests become violent when peaceful protests have failed. So violent protests often face something that is much harder to change/politicians are more unwilling to change. So of course they are less often successful. Not because they are less effective, but because the nature of their demands is different.

 

What I mean is like for example, a person having "gravitational pull" or someone making a "quantum leap" makes no sense to anyone who knows about physics. Gravity is extremely weak and quantum leaps are tiny.

Or "David versus Goliath" to describe a huge underdoge makes no sense to anyone who knows about history, because nobody bringing a gun to a sword fight is going to be the underdog but that's essentially what David did.

I'm looking for more examples like that.

 

Oh, he has gravitational pull? So he's pretty much irrelevant to everyone around him unless he grows to cosmic proportions?

 

There's a lot of musicians who are huge in Europe, but not in the US. Robbie Williams, Anastacia, most of Eurodance,... What musicians are the other way round?
