Before we get into a discussion, can I ask you what you think fascism is? By that I mean, given your current understanding, how would you define fascism, and what are the constituent elements of a fascist movement?
I ask because people tend to treat words like fascism, totalitarian, and authoritarian as pure vibes without really having an understanding of what they all mean. I get that sense from your reply, so I want to hear what you think right now without any cursory research.
No, that is not the case. Where’d you get that idea from?


Yeah I don’t think there’s any one client that necessarily hits all the boxes. As long as you stick to Movim, Dino, Gajim, and Conversations you should pretty much be set for most things.
Maybe the only solution is to roll your own client 😉


It means you won’t be able to download and install apps from anywhere besides the Google Play Store unless the developer of said app has formally verified themselves with Google.
If you’re seriously wondering then I’d highly recommend reading Daniel Guerrin’s Fascism and Big Business. And Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebook, particularly the section The Problem of Political Leadership in the Formation and Development of the Nation and the Modern State in Italy.


Uh oh what did KDE do? 😢
Mullvad implements Wireguard under the hood. I think they have some OpenVPN endpoints, too.

F-Droid is an Android app repository that only contains FOSS applications. You can install it on any Android phone and use it as your primary app store.
Disabling the Play Store and Play Services is tricky because Play Services is embedded pretty deeply into the Android operating system, so I’m assuming OP is using a degoogled Android custom ROM like LineageOS or GrapheneOS.


Oh yeah for sure in the original manga he did nothing even close to redemption. He was an asshole pretty much until the very end of the manga until he admits that Kakarot is #1. But that’s just the very beginning of changing.


He’s got a more explicit redemption storyline in the Moro Arc of the Super manga where he acknowledged his hand in the genocide of the Namekians and is trying to make up for it by defending them from a new threat. But yeah I don’t think you can really be redeemed from multi-planet genocide.


Libs all around the shop…you’ll be one of them, sooner or later. :insert-bloodborne-emoji:


I should’ve been less patronizing, sorry. If you appreciate the link and will read it then you’re more open to this than 99% of people that tend to argue about all this so I’ll respect you for that. Hope you enjoy the read 🫡


Be as patronizing as you’d like, but your strain of thought has been proven wrong and inadequate by philosophers, not even just Marxist ones, for over a century at this point. Do some reading.


If I had to put a title on it, I would use a term I first heard being used by Bernie Sanders: a democratic socialist. I think that human nature makes both capitalism and communism doomed to fail. Somewhere in the middle is where the sweet spot is. A capitalistic base with strong social safety nets, plenty of public land, universal healthcare, free college, and a universal basic income would be the best path for a country to take. Society should be flexible enough to adapt to the needs of all its citizens, and both capitalism and communism fail at achieving that. So, we should take the best of both.
You’re a Kautskyist. You reject the class struggle and engage in class collaborationism. Your understanding of the world was debunked over 100 years ago by Lenin and every day since by the winds of history.
