I'm sorry to tell you this but not voting means you are ok with any of the alternatives that were voted. So yeah, not voting meant that you considered Harris and Trump to be both ok as your president.
If you have to choose between a fascist and a non fascist politician and you decide to not vote, you are saying that it's fine getting either. So yeah, not voting is saying you are fine with Trump.
or they could vote for someone who, with all their flaws, was not a literal fascist.
The third option, not voting, meant you were ok with both options, so by not voting, you sent the message of being ok with getting a literal fascist as your president. I'm sorry but that's how it works, if you are ok with having a fascist president, you are, at least, a fascism enabler.
Sorry to break it to you mate, but maths are not an opinion.
If half of the people who could vote, voted for Harris, Tangerine Mussolini wouldn't be in the white house.
But that's not what happened. What happened is that less than half of the people who voted, did it for Harris.
All those who could vote and didn't were fine with the Tangerine Mussolini getting to the white house. If they voted for Harris, we wouldn't be here now talking about how tons of americans are now discovering how everyone telling them how bad this would be for them were, in fact, right.
The US has been fucking around with the whole world putting tariffs everywhere. We tried to warn you, the whole world tried to tell the US how bad for everyone would be to put the tangerine mussolini in the white house. The US ignored every single red flag and now that the country is in the find out phase, we should have empathy for them?
No one should suffer, but especially not the huge majority that couldn't even vote because they were not citizens of the country that now is screwing them so bad.
Honestly? I'm just glad they are realizing and suffering from it. I'm really done with the US and all the bullshit they are giving the rest of the world. At this point I only wish the country went into a bankrupt and all these fuckers went ito misery. And don't start with the "but they are a minority, not all america is like that". Minority my ass. More than half of the country actively put that cunt in the white house, by actively voting for him or not voting at all because "both sides".
You imposed to the rest of the world a misery that nobody wanted so it's only fair if nobody gives a shit if now you get to taste what you voted.
What if the VPS' start offering no-logs policies so it's impossible to know anything about the traffic and encryption so they don't even know whose that traffic?
This is gonna be an arms race and I don't doubt of the stupidity of the politicians. The brexit showed us how dumb they can be.
Sure, but how do you confirm that I'm using it as a vpn and not as a real server to run my own apps (for example a cloud storage or a media server)?
Oh right, you just ban VPS as a whole too, because why not, right?
And next thing, since we are at it, we should ban encrypted traffic because who knows what are you doing with your encrypted communications! Fuck HTTPS! Think of the children!!!
And the worst thing is that I can completely see them doing it.
Absolutely not, of course. I'm just hoping they try to enforce this so a shitstorm of proportions only seen in the brexit will ensue.
One thing we must acknowledge to these idiots is how much effort they put on showing the world the consequences of extremely stupid acts so the rest don't have to do it.
I work from office and i regularly use a vpn at work to connect remotely to devices that are not physically with me. Not to talk about companies that provide remote assistance and use them to connect to their customers devices.
Remote work is just a byproduct of vpns, but not the real reason why you use them at work.
How many small businesses can afford such permit? Hell, I'd argue that even bigger companies will have a problem paying for that.
Also, what if I just connect to a vps overseas and set my exit point there? Will they ban vps too? This is gonna be so much fun to see from the outside
Will the next step be banning VPS then? Because that's what will happen: if you ban VPNs (good luck with that lol), people will just connect to a VPS in a less stupid country and exit from there.
I hope they start looking at TOR too, that should be really fun.
While I understand what you are saying, let's not forget that the people who helped the turd get into power were not just those actively voting for him but also those who didn't vote because "both sides!!". That's not "a minority of the country" but actually the majority of it.
Yeah, I will definitely trust an internet stranger with my face so they can verify that I'm not underage to access content which could, in case of being leaked, damage my reputation or even destroy my life.
