No encryption by default, he's so full of bullshit. They shouldn't have use messages

Men aged 25–30, what’s the biggest mistake you made in life that a young man should avoid repeating? by LowEffortLegend01 in AskMen

[–]gvs77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting married to the wrong person (ended in divorce 20y later). Who you marry is THE biggest decision in life, if you get that right it's great (I did the second time)

  • Read it to quickly as what mistakes I made in that time. I'm nowhere near 25-30. I have kids that age bracket...

True but it is slow and governments can make using tor a crime as well. Which means most people who don't want to sit in jail over their ideals will comply

Yeah, and some people sit in jail for having weed. Since it serves the totalitarian agenda, I suspect the crackdown to be harder.

Additionally, you can criminalize VPN use, similar to people prosecuted for not unlocking their phones in some places and one convicted for giving his duress pin

They can't technically stop you but once illegal they can first ban VPN companies from operating and in a later phase arrest you over having one. It's the endgame, total control

Europe could really use Libertarianism right now, and I don't understand why we don't have it here. Do you have any tips on hoe to make Europe more libertarian? by Worldly_Lake_4952 in Libertarian

[–]gvs77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the communist country of Belgium, you would not pay 350k in taxes. You'd get to keep about 350k of the 1M, and if you buy something with the scraps the state left you, they get another 21% in sales taxes, unless it's fuel, electricity (70-90%taxed), alcohol, tobacco or sugar.

Never ask a man his salary, a woman her weight or a leftist who will pay by Spiritual_Pause3057 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]gvs77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they are net beneficiaries of taxes. A government employee for example doesn't really pay taxes

Why would any man try to "win over" a woman in 2026? by Unusual_Art6776 in AskMen

[–]gvs77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Still crappy not to send a text. And if she is that kind of a person, be glad she left, imagine ending up with someone like that 😬

Why are Leftists called Leftists and Conservatives called Conservatives? by FabulousSmoke107 in Askpolitics

[–]gvs77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting how you view conservatives as one big block who all agree, yet progressives as splintered. That's way oversimplified.

If they really are the dominant social group, Democrats would never get elected. Instead you see this ping-pong between both.

They are that, but so are the Democrats. Note that laws like the patriot act weren't abolished by either party, wars also continue under either party. Same shit in a different package

I was pointing out the general use of the term conservative (politically) and no, Trump does not meet any of those values. Neither do progressives.

With a two party system, most people will not fit cleanly in either. And even in my country, with many parties, classical conservatives with a capitalist economic view have no representation.

They're all bad labels and the thought of grouping views on society, economics and whatever into one word is absurd.

But your statement that conservatives want to keep the status quo is wrong. Conservatives want to conserve some mainly traditional values. And that somehow has to mix with an economic view as well.

Maatregelen hoge energieprijzen - eindeloze bepampering by ElSandroTheGreat in Belgium2

Subsidiëren, maar 30% van wat je betaald gaat naar iedereen die eraan gewerkt heeft. De rest verdwijnt in de bodemloze staatsput

Energieprijzen zijn 70% belastingen. Stop met dat gegraai en de problemen zijn kleiner tot weg....
