A few days ago, the U.S. government sanctioned A/I for supporting “extreme far-left antifa terrorists”. If you didn’t know, A/I is an antifascist and anticapitalist group based in Italy, and they host a lot of services (like email, website hosting, etc.) run through donations. Their policy states that they are against racism, sexism, militarism, homophobia, and transphobia, and you have to agree to those principles to use their services. Their website and mailing server has been taken down, and unfortunately, that also means my email no longer works. It’s kind of insane how quickly the American government can take down internet services they don’t like. A/I has denied all of the allegations by the Trump admin, and rightfully so, they’re just a digital services provider who respect your privacy and are against fascism and bigotry.

I still need to use email, so what’s a good alternative email provider that doesn’t profit off of my data? I have used Disroot in the past and had good experiences with their services, so they are currently my fallback. I have ruled out Proton and Tuta, as neither support IMAP properly.

      The Trump regime is proud of that. They are happy to do all the signalling that they are full blown fascists short of admitting directly to it. That way there’s enough “reasonable doubt” that they can sell their snake oil to idiots.

        You are infantilizing the fascist underbelly that supports trump.

        The “reasonable doubt” isn’t to confuse “idiots”. These “idiots” see through it just like you. The “reasonable doubt” is to give the “idiots” cover against their neighbors, friends, and family.

        They know very well what they are voting for, but they are cowards. All fascists are cowards. They will not fight unless they have overwhelming advantage.

        Their ideologies stem from deep fear, better described as a life enveloping terror, of everything. For the fascist to feel safe, all things must be dominated or destroyed.

        How many children would still see their trump voting parents if the parents said openly “I voted for trump because he is going to kill the people I don’t like”? How many who still see that family member now, wouldn’t under those conditions?

        How about last term? How many would have left that person in 2016?

        How many neighbors would live next to a person who openly calls for genocide in the neighborhood?

        The “reasonable doubt” is cover for these hateful, destructive people. It does not confuse them. They know what they are doing.

        • Oh for certain. There’s two cohorts of people here:

          The first is a large subset of the population (around 30% at a guess) who, much like Stephen Miller, are afraid of their own shadows and wish to exterminate anything that casts one. For them, the reasonable doubt is purely a facade. They know they are Nazis, they just won’t admit it publicly (but even that social veil has started to crumble)

          The second cohort is the portion of the population who is largely unaffected by or uninterrested in politics. Here, reasonable doubt is among the tactics employed by the Nazis to make them look away, allowing them to maintain control. For the most part, these are the “both siders” who prefer a false peace through inaction, or the “apoliticals” who don’t understand what machine Pink Floyd and RAtM sing about.

          If you ask me, both groups are idiots. They’re powerful idiots but nevertheless they’re the lowest percentile that humanity has to offer.

        They are trying really, really hard to pretend they are happy to do that, but the fact that none of their smiles actually look happy could be considered evidence for a lack of happiness.

      I’m antifascist, I want the death of all Indians (sorry Indians), I want to create a totalitarian regime ruled by complete degenerated person and I’m actively pursuing my goals. If you oppose me, it means you are a fascist.

      Those aren’t my views. I wanted to show that calling yourself antifascist doesn’t mean everyone who is against you is fascist.

            But you’re not, and anyone with at least two brain cells can see that.

            Trump calls “Antifa” a terrorist organization. “Antifa” is not an organization at all. It’s a broad term for people who call themselves anti-fascists, and rigidly police each other’s use of that term.

              We are not talking about some abstract antifa, only this single organization.

              You argue that Trump is bad, because he is against organizations, that call themselves antifascist.

              I wanted to show that calling yourself antifascist doesn’t mean that people who are against you are fascist.

        Fascism is the desire for a totalitarian state where (in general) the population must put the state first above everything. Let’s see here:

        I want to create a totalitarian regime ruled by complete degenerated person and I’m actively pursuing my goals.

        Well, that sounds pretty fascist to me. Did you mix the two words up?

            A/I is not calling for the death of any people group, and they are against racism and bigotry of all forms.

            Yes, giving yourself a label doesn’t necessarily mean it’s correct. North Korea calla itself a Democratic People’s Republic, when in reality it’s closer to a dictatorial monarchy mixed with bits of Marxism. But if we disregarded all labels that could be misused, we would have none at all!

            Also, what the hell man, calling for the death of all Indians as an “example” is not a good look. It doesn’t bode well for whar you actually believe in if you think this is a reasonable example to bring up.
