  Way to twist it to "opinion battles" but Swiss CEO diving head first into American meme politics and following up _on the official account of Proton_ is very clearly a character flaw. Feel free to disagree but keep it to yourself, thanks.

  Nah normal adults vote with their senses, judgement and their spine. I'm not an American, neither is Proton. Keep your clowns inside of your clown car.

  Nothing about anything occurring right now in the United States is “ordinary politics” and saying that anyone who disapproves of someone siding with a fascist regime has a “defective thought process” is doing the work of the fascist regime for them.

      Whether or not it objectively meets the definition of a fascist regime, you can't talk to people that way here.

        Fair enough that people irritate you too much these days. I can't cast the first stone on that one...

        I didn’t see what the post you’re replying to said before it got flagged, but if it was objecting to me labeling the government as fascist, I’ll point to “The 14 Characteristics of Fascism” by political scientist Lawrence Britt [0]. The current government clearly checks at least 12 of the 14 boxes here, and I could probably make reasonable arguments for the rest.

        > The current government clearly checks at least 12 of the 14 boxes here... Well, I wouldn't go that far. But out of curiosity, which two do you think it doesn't check?

In my opinion, this is clearly a display of a character strength. I strongly trust proton now that its CEO revealed itself to be of such strong character. Isn’t that the whole job of a ceo? For every one of you, there is one of me to offset you and increase my support of the product. You probably don’t even use them and never intended you, and the rest of the user base is better for it.
