Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it’s an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

      If a Nazi sits at a table with ten other people and everyone is talking cordially, you’ve got a table of 11 Nazis.

      This mother fucker saw a Nazi and said “HEY BRO SIT OVER HERE.”

      It’s not a joke.

        To me this is complete nonsense.

        It’s absolutely possible to disagree with 99% of what a government does and still agree on a 1%, by coincidence or something. This doesn’t mean “sitting at the table” in any way, which I think would be an overall endorsement. If that 1% would be use to fully endorse the government then it would implicitly mean the support (or at least passivity) towards the rest 99%. This is not the case.

        Let’s talk hypotheticals for a moment: let’s sat Trump will actually do something and break up tech monopolies, google for example, or decrease their power and create a fairer market. In this case, saying “good policy” would make you a Nazi? For me, this is simply absurd, and it is very very similar to what is happening.

          When you’re praising republicans as being the party of the little guy, that’s more than agreeing with 1% of the stuff that they’re doing.
