I have found more websites refuse to load with Mullvad VPN than when I use Proton VPN. I use Mullvad on my phone since it’s the only one that is able to be used while I also use Tailscale VPN at the same time on Android.

I just go back to sleep lol. If I’m too lazy to get up, I’m usually too lazy to go on my phone.

I’m not arguing semantics. “The left” and “authoritarianism” are different things. No one said anything about Democrats or Republicans. You are arguing that this is a problem with “the left”. If you want to argue that this is a problem with Democrats or with authoritarianism in the either party specifically, that’s a separate topic–one that I agree with.

How many killed, tortured, raped, colonized, displaced, etc. by the British and French? British and French during WW2 were arguably much worse than Germany. History just likes to put a lense on Hitler and not Churchill because Churchill oppressed black and brown people whereas Hitler oppressed white people, which is a big no-no in society.

What do you mean “the left”? The farther left you go, the more people see firearms as important for the people to fight oppression. Karl Marx—pretty much as far left as you can go—was very adament about wokers owning guns.

I think you are trying to refer to authoritarians.

I think Bitcoin was a good proof of concept that this system can work and scale. Ethereum is trying to be the viable option. I personally like Monero. I am sure in a hundred years or so if crypto is still here, it will be more viable and stable.
