yeah, and not just leftist. you can have the most liberal and bourgeois-backed nationalist project just to secure some kind of national sovereignty and there will still be a coup. Case point: Iran and Mosaddegh.

Imperialism will sap the wealth of countries and peoples for short term gains, regardless of the economic system.

Good explanation, and I figured the same.

I feel the ‘encrypted at rest’ is then a false sense of security. Alas it is much better than gmail, etc.

excuse me ignorance, but I understand that once you receive mail from someone with shared pgp keys, they’d have no way to read the contents.

But when I receive an email from any service that sends me mail, or from a friend that doesn’t use PGP, it sits encrypted in my account… but how do we know proton isn’t ‘reading’ the contents when it is delivered and before it is encrypted in the account?

Is there a possibility of data mining or them storing the contents on their end? like a mirror image?

i think the key is to have a certain balance. Stay positive in certain aspects of your life activities, have principles and interests. Be true to them. Cherish those that mean a lot to you and appreciate them everyday.

But to quote a rage against the machine lyric “if ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face”

I don’t think many even know what a communist is or what communism is about. it just makes them feel upset when they hear the word because of constant corporate mass media conditioning.

oh phew… don’t worry everyone it’s just bluesky doing this so who cares lol
