    That’s absolutely not what I said. My point is that R’s should know the Dems aren’t going to go along with what they want and should do a better job presenting a unified front. You’d think these idiots would know that there’s got to be some some give and take, especially when the Senate and Presidency are controlled by the Dems.

    And yeah, to be fair, there are some R’s that are causing problems because they see the rest of the caucus as not conservative enough, but there are also those moderate R’s causing problems because they see the rest of the caucus as too conservative

    As far as sandboxing goes, there’s always Island, Shelter, and Insular, which all leverage the work profile function in android to give you a privacy sandbox of sorts. Problem is, your phone still uses Google Play Services at the system level, so any tracking data being sent through it still gets where it’s meant to go. That being said, leveraging the work profile gives you an extra VPN slot, which can be used with either an always-on VPN, or that slot can be filled by a firewall, something like RethinkDNS or Netguard. Invizible Pro is a good option too, it can route all traffic through TOR, has DNSCrypt built in, and has a firewall (though I’ve never had success with using it). One thing to consider is that Android has been caught sending tracking data around the VPN tunnel if I’m not mistaken.

    As far as location spoofing, faking logs, etc., I’m pretty sure you’d have to be rooted to do that kind of stuff with any real efficacy.

    The real answer is root + microG + AFWall + any other privacy controls you can get your hands on (I’m a huge fan of XPrivacyLua, personally) and THEN consider something like Shelter

    The realer answer is don’t use TikTok

    This is my (basic) understanding of capitalism. I’m no economist, but it seems to me that if we had a government that wasn’t owned by corporations, but that instead looked out for the rights and protections of the little guy while the economically elite did their thing, we wouldn’t have a perfect system but at least a better system than we do currently. I think a lot of people balk at socialist / communist ideas because of the idea of putting the economic power of redistributing wealth into the hands of corrupt government officials seems like an easy way to drive the wealth gap even bigger than it already is. Or maybe I’m just talking out of my ass lol

    Lmao, the left are the ones spreading lies, yet you don’t hear conservatives calling for the dismantling of free speech

    As for Dr. Malone, my whole argument is just that he spearheaded the invention of mRNA tech so when he comes out and says that we should slow down on the roll out of the covid vax, I don’t think that should be treated as some massive conspiracy theory
