Least obvious phillosophy major.

I’m American and it’s never made much sense to me, either.

Afaik it’s fundementally 5 forces.

• Severe distrust of the established institutions, including the democratic process.
• Long-drawn, multi-generational unrest ever since late globalization and the decline of unions.
• Anti-labor propaganda and institutional complacency.
• Increased alienation and in-fighting among the population. Got much worse ever since the MAGA repubs cropped up. We’re fighting against 40-50% of the population for basic shit. (Have you seen our paralyzed congress?)

Finally, this unwillingness to be the first to bite the bullet. Inevitably, the first people to start off these grassroots movements are going to get the shortest end of the stick. They are people sacrificing their free time and economic security for a movement that begs others to do the same.

It’s a massive risk.

I don’t think this really addresses the question. Revolution provides even more of an economic disruption?

Keep in mind the OP is not an American. They don’t have the context.

Fair. But afaik their privacy policy hasnt changed. i will probably drop em asap if I catch wind of something concretely nefarious tho.

Personally I like SideBerry more than TST

Private internet access. It’s super cheap too

Check it out! It’s a great, modular, and repairable laptop with comparable prices for the specs in regards to mainstream laptops.

You can even upgrade the motherboard, which means as long as the company doesnt go under you can just infinitely reuse and upgrade it kinda like a tower PC.
