You’re very naive if you think only propaganda is controlled solely by right wingers lol

This is one of the things I don’t get about any of this shit - if we were talking about physical items, letters, a hard landline, physical art, written medical information, etc. this would require a warrant, court order or whatever. Why the fuck is digital anything viewed as a free-for-all by govts, AI techbros, data brokers et al. How do they not understand that just because something is ‘digital’ it doesn’t deserve the same protections as before?!

Unless you’re using GrapheneOS and then the answer is “Mostly but it depends”.

As a long time poor person myself, please don’t give this sort advice. It doesn’t help. When your poor, getting something like OPs competition win can make life feel not so glum. What you’re saying is to sell happiness for slightly more security that will only last so long. Once the extra runs out, you’re back where you were with zero ability to buy that ‘luxury’ back. Having something nice when your poor can make a big difference to mental health.

Also please don’t assume that poor people don’t know how to budget and that they need unsolicited financial advice from strangers who don’t have any idea what their day to day circumstances and finances are.
