Here they go again with the silent majority bullshit.

They still can't wrap their heads around the fact that they are a tiny minority.

Yeah the whole "I love unions, but we at this company are a family so we don't need that", is peak anti-union talk. Throughout history it's been used by people who are horrible to their employees.

Long story short, he was always a slimy asshole, but here are some key points from wikipedia and just in regards to his mayoral position:

• Hated the homeless and tried to have them "removed"(used cops to arrest them and shove them in overcrowded shetlers. A church ended up suing the city for their right to help homeless people)

• "cracked down on crime", by basically aggressively arresting people for minor crimes like jumping the turnstile.

• Tried to stop multiple community service proogram for the mentally ill, elderly, day-care, etc.

• Big fan of "eminent domain" to take buildings and give them to his sponsors.

• Racist with multiple racist pollcies, many staffers and leaders left because of him.

• He threaten funding for the Brooklyn Musem if they didn't remove several pieces, specifically including one called "The Holy Virgin Mary" which was of a black person. Calling it a governement-supported attack on christianity and they had to sue the city.

• Campaigned on fixing public schools, but cut $2bill of their budget and $4.7bill from the repairs budget

• Two days after Columbine he said he wanted to "blow up" the Board of Education.

• Wanted to imprison the teachers union president if they went into strike(their contract was up and the city hadn't started any renegotiation)

• Allegedly cheated on his wife with his spokeswoman

• Tried to threaten Time Warner to have Fox on their cable network, and defended Murdoch when all the surveillance and bribery scandals came about

• His administration lost 22 out of 26 civil liberty lawsuits against them, mostly for trying to stifle first amandment rights.

• He wanted a deal with Virginia in which they had to take NYCs trash, in exchange for them being able to visit NYCs culture sites. He also tried to send it to New Jersey, and announced that wihtout actually talking to them first, at all. This all happened because he closed a landfill 20-30 years too early , because he didn't like how it looked, so it had to be shipped out of town. Costing millions, causing even more pollution, etc.

And much, much more.

It's a custom protocol that uses SSL/TLS for key exchange and such, so it can be detected. It's actually causing huge problems for many large Russian companies, as it's common to use those protocols for remote access, work, etc.

As mentioned in the article you need something like "Shadowsocks" to avoid protocl blocking, since it fully disguises the traffic as standard SSL/TLS. Which was created for, and is still used to circumvent this type of blocking in "the great firewall of china".

If you're thinking of the modern pop-culture version of the anti-christ, then no.

If you compare his behaviour to how the bible actually describes the anti-christ, then yes.

According to the bible he is supposed to:

• Be a divisive non-politician who comes into power against peoples expectations.

• Be overly arrogant with great boastful speeches

• Lead many people away from Jesus and cause them to blindly follow himself.

• Lead a very powerful military nation

• Publically threaten people as a common tactic

• Be very focused on winning/conquering

• Rise to power through collusion, lies and corruption.

• His election into power will by some be seen as a miracle

• Will use his power to enrich themselves and their allies

• Spread lies and falsehoods as truth, general lies and deception.

• It specifically says he will reward his allies with land/property

• Become angry and threaten the "King of the south"(Mexico)

• Be supported by some of the nations most powerful religious leaders(super churches and such support him)

• See themselves as above everyone else

• Disregard the needs of the most vulnerable in society

• Some will rise up in protest and face violence in return

Some things that are almost too on the nose:

• Only see one term

• Attempt to stay in power but defeated by the legal system

• Use his armed forced to remove people from a church for their own nefarious needs

• During their rule there will be large inflation in food cost, while oil remains cheap

• There will be a pandemic and mass death during their rule

• Supposed to worship the "god of fortresses" (in reference of walls and keeping people out)

• Followers will wear a mark on their forehead (maga caps)

I'm going to trust multiple peer-reviewed medical studies over a youtube talk with under 600 views.

Specially when it's on a channel branding itself as being skeptical towards science.

EDIT: On a closer look it's straight up just one of those conspiracy theory channels and organizations that present itself as actual science.

And here's a study if someone wants to look at actual science regarding the placebo effect:

The ceo is a bigoted asshole, Brave is chromium, it was initially funded by Peter Thiel and they're literally just trying to make their own adsense network.

The self-proclaimed privacy focused browser is tracking your browsing and want to serve you personalized ads, and I think they want to use that tracking data for AI training as well, meaning other people can potentially access it.

And lets not forget about their crypto currency that you can earn by turning on special ads. Which they seemingly unironically called it "Basic Attent Tokens"..

TL;DR: The company is basically a sham company trying to usher in a dystopia. Where you'll get paid for staring at ads, while having all your data stolen and sold back to you.

You have to remember that the people promoting this sort of thing never in a million years think it would affect themselves or their loved ones. They are 100% convinced it will be used to "punish" people, just not themselves.

You see it literally every time republicans implement things like abortion bans, detainment camps, child labor etc. And republicans start crying in the media and say stupid shit like "He's not hurting the right ones"....

TL;DR: English water and sewage is handled by private, for-profit, companies that have majority ownership outside britain.

Furthermore the current chairman of the regulatory comission has previously been accused of misusing funds for Network Rail, abusing staff, accepting what amounts to bribes, etc.

With the TL;DR being: Google/Alphabet wants to more easily block non-chrome browsers ability to use their services, and prevent the use of adblocking.

Which also means that many people using accessability tools will be unable to access them. And they are trying to get Firefox to implement it as well, so they don't take all the blame when shit hits the fan and they start getting multi-billion dollar monopoly fines from the EU.

That's because they all think they are the special individual that will be given special treatment and that all the bad things will happen to groups they don't like.

Because they are stupid.

That's why we got the famous direct quote: "He's not hurting the right ones".

Update on the vote results, for people who don't want to go there:
