I mean, DroidFS does the same thing…

I would just reply with a guide to shoplifting 😉

Isn’t free on Android tho 👀

Consciption isn’t the same as slavery.

Slavery has no benefits to society besides enriching the slave owners.

Conscription can benefit society by providing enough soldiers to defend a country.

There are also other forms of state coersion that are no where the same as slavery.

In many countries, Jury Duty is mandatory, and without a legitimate excuse, you cannot avoid going, or you risk going to jail. Is Jury Duty slavery?

In some countries, you are required to show up to vote, you don’t have to vote for anyone, you can just submit a blank ballot, but failure to do so can result in fines. Is mandatory voting slavery?

Taxes are mandatory, in order to fund stuff that benefits society, is taxation theft?

Let me guess, you’re the type of person to not return a shopping cart because it’s “slavery”. You won’t wear a mask because it’s "tyranny. 🙄

(No central servers and everything goes through Tor, try blocking that!)

But there is still different levels of evil.

If: Conscription = Immoral

Okay, almost every country does conscription. By that definision, almost every country is evil.

But: Is Ukraine’s conscription to stop a foreign invasion the same evil as russia’s conscription in order to invade and continuingly occupy Ukraine? The invasion that killed a lot of civillians, with the intent to take over Ukraine and expand russian territory by any means necessary. Are they really the same evil?

Sure they are both using tactics that are wrong, but the motive behind Ukraine is self-defence, the motive behind russia is territorial expansion.

Let look at this a different way:

Some people would argue that: Violence = Wrong no matter what

Okay, so is the violence used to kill a dictator just as evil as the violence used by dictator to kill civillians who disagree with him?

New Trending Term: “Died In Committee”

I don’t like conscription either, but you’re essentially saying the allied leaders are just as evil as nazis for conscription so that they can have an army to fight the nazis…

Briar doesn’t even use a central server, all connections go through tor

Proton sucks, and its not even the whole CEO thing, I could barely download anything using their official Android app, and if it goes background, it just stops working (even with battery optimization disabled).

I mean, if you only use desktop, sure…

But their mobile app (at least the Android one) is garbage. You literally cannot have more than like 25 files downloading at once, imagine having 1000 pictures and have to manually download them all… 🤦‍♂️ (yes that’s me, I had 1000 photos and had to manually download them all 25 at a time so it doesn’t crash)
