@teuast @StewartGilligan, use Vivaldi instead of Chrome.

@SpookyBogMonster @ArcaneSlime, I'm a left commonsensist in my ideology, and I only can say, that any system which lacks of the sovereignty of the people, based only on a leader or a small elite, be it from the right or the left, necessarily becomes a fascist and corrupt dictatorship. It is irrelevant if it is called Stalin or the fat boy of North Korea on the left or banks and multinationals in capitalism that make the rules, the result for the people is the same. Fascism

@MostlyBirds @abbiistabbii, anarchy is the system to which a mature and sovereign society automatically converges, but for this current humanity is still too young as specie, the evolutionary state can be compared with that of a child in puberty, regarding behavior. An anarchic system would necessarily lead to a collapse total of the current society (Lord of the Flies effect). A long way still to go.

@tara @Sharkwellington, agree, it is precisely one of the many reasons why I use Vivaldi, it is from a European cooperative, owned by it's employees and without external investors who can influence in it's decisions. Company ethics are important.

@Whirlybird @Roundcat, Fascism is not a political system, but a system of oppression, in which a minority or a single person decides the rules for the rest, it doesn't matter if it is called dictatorship, democracy or communism, which in these circumstances is always a mere label. In real communism and real democracy, it is always the vast majority that dictates the rules, not the other way around. This is why capitalism always favors fascism, it is money that dictates the rules, not people.

@luthis @Whirlybird, Racism, xeno- and homophobia have nothing to do with political orientation, but with personal aversions, fears and problems. They tend to be people, either indoctrinated by religion or looking for a strong leader because they lack their own ideas or initiatives. For this reason they are aligned in their vast majority with the fascist ideology and to a very lesser extent in the leftist sphere.

@swnt, Vivaldi is Chromium based (Blink). Never had any problems with Vivaldi in any page, but I know that some pages us the discriminating Browsersniffings, which should be illegal, but even with this I never had a problem, because Vivaldi appears by in their UA as Chrome, ever since Vivaldi removed their branding from the UA a few years ago because of these criminal practices of some pages.
Now in the Desktop browser you can even use BingChat, because Vivaldi automaticly switch its UA to EDGE

@swnt @Extrahammer, Vivaldi Android has an inbuild ad and trackerblocker, same as in Desktop, apart an own feature to play YouTube Videos, because of this you don't need the YT app in Android.

@BraBraBra, especially those who disrespect others like you. I don't defend China, nor other "paradises" like the US, I'm old enough to have lived through the Second Cold War and the "benefits" of the USA, which you apparently consider superior to all. It is precisely this behavior that does not make you just as tankie and fascist as those you so happily judge.
Good luck, go out, talk to people and do something useful with your life.

@BraBraBra, currently Afghanistan, Irak, Iran and Israel, with a little help and as cause of the USA, with their weapons. Same in South America where they destroied Democracies for economic interests.
Fuck the genocide everywhere, in this I agree with you, but this, blame your own house before you do it with others, China isn't the only evil in the world, the USA isn't a iota better, apart of worse for the own population in their daily life.

@BraBraBra, genocide is ALWAYS condemnable and the vast majority of countries have committed it throughout their history. But it is fallacious to establish oneself as the best and beacon of humanity because others were worse. It is with this hypocrisy that we must end. The worst genocide is capitalism, because it is going to end all of humanity. "Communism is the bad guy in the movie", it is mere politics of fear to be able to continue the atrocities of the former.

@_danny, simply the US Health System is a silent genocide and reason for the most part of homeless people.
The Social System of US is one of the worst in the world.
Any country has its corpses in the basement and China is certainly not an example of an ideal society, but the US is not one iota better, quite the contrary.
