I only use SMS/MMS when I do 2auth or a carrier wants to spam me with shortcodes for top-up and promos and I fall for. Other than that, I don't use it at all. Fossify fit the bill for a clean, easy app that doesn't glean personal info every time I receive/send a message.

That's funny. They call it a protest but it looks like a mass therapy rally from here. Also, AFAIK Denmark and Thailand are both kingdoms and do just fine.

Idk. I've always experienced that people who claim to be anarchists are just libertarians in hiding.

Oh, you think I'm a bot. How amusing! More illustration of my point exactly. I am confounded how you Americane let yourselves cede discernment for material wealth but hey... don't listen to me. I'm just a bot.

I'm going with a third option: who the fuck cares?

America appears to be the batshit landscape the rest of the world knew it was but we were always getting drowned out from the noise of your soft power via hollywood and manipulative political/economic orgs. If you're having issues, has it been considered that you might wanna contain that shit instead of plaster it all over the world news? It's exhausting to continually see headlines about what nutty thing that wouldn't occur anywhere else happened today in Jesus land. And then have to suffer through the trivial machinations of moaning and hand wringing so that citizens can relieve themselves of responsibility and go back to their Netflix and video games.

America is cooked all the way through because it fosters a culture that takes away the compact mirror and hands a megaphone to kids when they're born. That's not gonna be cured in one or three or five years via election cycles. You have a terminal infection of culture and the sooner you come to grips with that, the better for everyone.

Tax the rich is an old idiom from yesteryear when the public actually believed wealth redistribution worked for the greater good. And then it was debunked because the ultra wealthy already have most of their wealth in non-fungible assets, i.e. non taxable form. And their revenue comes through setting up shop offshore. Better luck next time, everyone.

I read these kinds of posts and feel immediately vindicated when I mention that most Americans are emotionally dysregulated.

Their comfort bubble pops and they go into hysterics lol
