    Well one thing’s for sure anyway: you’re intolerantly downvoting all my opinions while I’m letting yours stand. Symptomatic of my underlying point.

      Weird, I noticed all my comments got a downvote by the time I loaded your replies. In any case, reading so much into a downvote might also fall under “misreading tone”. Kinda laughable to me in any case that downvoting could correlate to such political turmoil which is what you seem to be saying.

        Probably not but censoriousness over wrong opinions is definitely a US specialty these days. I see in the culture and I’ve seen it in person with my own eyes. Culture can have deep roots and America, after all, was founded by religious fundamentalists. The 1st Amendment probably plays a role too. You don’t see any of this because you’re on the inside.

          I would probably agree with you to some degree within other contexts, but I do not see anything like that here. It’s easy, vote with your wallet. Don’t like something a company or its executives do? Don’t give them money, done, easy.

          Praising trump for something he hasn’t even done yet seems like a no brainer to me. It’s indicative of an attitude held by the person that can make sweeping changes to Proton as a company. I don’t see how it’s controversial honestly. If this post also showed a campaign of people demanding everyone stop using proton over this opinion, maybe you’d have a point. Spreading it for awareness is a good thing, not “hysteria”.

          Edit: One last thing, can you provide evidence that any of this originated in America? “You are on the inside and don’t see it” is not evidence.
