A few days ago, the U.S. government sanctioned A/I for supporting “extreme far-left antifa terrorists”. If you didn’t know, A/I is an antifascist and anticapitalist group based in Italy, and they host a lot of services (like email, website hosting, etc.) run through donations. Their policy states that they are against racism, sexism, militarism, homophobia, and transphobia, and you have to agree to those principles to use their services. Their website and mailing server has been taken down, and unfortunately, that also means my email no longer works. It’s kind of insane how quickly the American government can take down internet services they don’t like. A/I has denied all of the allegations by the Trump admin, and rightfully so, they’re just a digital services provider who respect your privacy and are against fascism and bigotry.

I still need to use email, so what’s a good alternative email provider that doesn’t profit off of my data? I have used Disroot in the past and had good experiences with their services, so they are currently my fallback. I have ruled out Proton and Tuta, as neither support IMAP properly.

    Oh for certain. There’s two cohorts of people here:

    The first is a large subset of the population (around 30% at a guess) who, much like Stephen Miller, are afraid of their own shadows and wish to exterminate anything that casts one. For them, the reasonable doubt is purely a facade. They know they are Nazis, they just won’t admit it publicly (but even that social veil has started to crumble)

    The second cohort is the portion of the population who is largely unaffected by or uninterrested in politics. Here, reasonable doubt is among the tactics employed by the Nazis to make them look away, allowing them to maintain control. For the most part, these are the “both siders” who prefer a false peace through inaction, or the “apoliticals” who don’t understand what machine Pink Floyd and RAtM sing about.

    If you ask me, both groups are idiots. They’re powerful idiots but nevertheless they’re the lowest percentile that humanity has to offer.
