I use Proton currently since it comes with my proton subscription. But I used mullvad for years and prefer it. They’re both good, you can’t go wrong really.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Where can I get news about today's 50501 protests? There seems to be frighteningly little news about this in the mainstream media.English
2·8 months agoJust another question, where would you ideally like to see protest news posted on lemmy? Yes there’s the 50501 community, I also post on DSA community. Where else?
The USA has one party: the capitalist party. They do not represent you, they represent corporate interests. Your vote doesn’t even really matter because of the electoral college, and other racist relics such as the Senate, giving ridiculous power to to just a handful of “swing voters”.
Voting once every 4 years for either the capitalist war monger or the other capitalist war monger, while they both ban 3rd party candidates from the ballot, does not make the USA “democratic”.
Edit: also who cares if it’s one party? In each of these cases the party has brought the entire population out of abject poverty (usually the result of capitalism exploiting them), increased education surpassing the USA, brought healthcare to all, have higher home ownership rates than the USA, etc.
Objective quality of life measurements all surpass the USA.
No, it gets destroyed by a CIA-funded coup every time. (Read Jakarta Method)
But look at Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, Kerala, China, Burkino Faso for modern attempts at Socialism/Communism
Where do you fit in? Do you own capital? Are you a business owner or a factory owner? If not then you are a tool for capitalists to exploit as they wish

1·8 months agoTo be fair, I don’t consume mainstream media whatsoever anymore. After reading Manufacturing Consent, I see no point. I get all my news from socials or alt news sources like Democracy Now!, counter punch, it’s going down, and Mother Jones, etc …

8·8 months agoDo you think reddit is immune to the oligarchs? I don’t think so at all.
Well no, but the question was why is there no mainstream media coverage.
I’ve posted a couple things here on lemmy. Let’s be honest though, the reach of reddit is orders of magnitude higher than here

781·8 months ago/50501 here and on reddit.
Why would the news, controlled and operated by oligarchs, give people protesting oligarchs any coverage?
Why would they?



My thinking is, if the CIA (or whatever country’s equivalent) is on to you, it’s pretty much jover.
