Aside from political leanings of services like Protonmail and Kagi, I look at one key thing: where they are headquartered. Kagi is in California, while Protonmail is in Switzerland. IMO, this means that if a civil war breaks out, they are less likely to poison or remove their service.

It is all about whether the workers and leadership are within reach of the law, be it official or the jungle.

You can also use Kagi's video search AI to vet the political alignment of a video before watching. I don't want to waste my time on facist-leaning content, be it political or economic.

I am hoping that Google bites the dust from this. Having stuff like Peertube becoming common, would go a long way towards mitigating media moguls from controlling narratives. As we have seen, the media organs of the right are staying silent or downlplaying what has been happening.

Also, it would be nice if the folk didn't have to deal with baseless copyright takedowns. A lot of culture has been lost to feckless corpotacracy.

Most of the key people behind the Civil War and 1st Business Plot also were excused from justice, for the sake of soothing political tension. IMO, executing them would have been better for curtailing the corrosion of our society.

I used Thunderbird to simultaneously access and download my gmail and protonmail, gradually migrating my ecosystem to the latter. The way I figure, Protonmail would be good, on account of being based in Switzerland. That means assorted EU protections - and now with Vichy America likely to become a thing, having the servers in a safe spot seems really helpful.

The odds of us having military action in our neighborhoods has shot up by a disturbing degree.

Something adjacent to degoogling: I am concerned that Microsoft would collaborate with the Trump Regime. I never used Linux before, but I am now downloading Ubuntu. It feels like that I should do a dual-boot setup and get ready to abandon Windows if I hear about MS HQ in Washington having a DOGE presence.

Here's hoping that Europe and the Blue States are watching Microsoft for anything weird.

Until they support privacy coin, this feature isn't useful. In light of the bullshit that the US is pulling, we will need a way to use money in private. Be it for spending on hentai games or arms, Americans will need a way to circumvent whatever Musk has planned.

War. The only question is whether the Blue States get ready for what is coming.

It shouldn't stop at just him. This whole situation was a team effort - Musk, Yarvin, Thiel, and many others worked towards destroying America. The whole lot must go, else they will simply try again when the winds are right.

Sadly, Trump's hand wants to get involved with YOU. 😱

They are if you held up a mirror that faced him.
