You can do all the privacy measures in the world, but if the people you talk to are using spyware then it’s all out the window. (literally Windows, get it?)

This video breaks down some of the basic reasons to switch to Linux so you can convince your friends: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/why-linux-beats-windows/

    Let’s start with the basics. Do you acknowledge that msn.com news leans to the left? Then do you acknowledge that Microsoft Bing and Windows, promote MSN?

          To me, it’s about removing the ability for a few people to hoard wealth that they’ll never use for the sake of power and control. It’s about people helping their community to whatever extent is reasonable, so if you make 7 figures a day, either pay a big chunk of that money back to your workers who do most of the heavy lifting, or give it back to the community as a whole, rather than stuffing it in a Swiss bank.

          It’s about building our city’s infrastructure in a more livable and accessible way for the general public, like affordable high speed transit and bike lanes for those who just want to go from A to B without dealing with the headaches of a car if they don’t need one.

          It’s about being against capitalism and the way it gives power to giant corporations, and allows them to create a monopoly, disallowing most innovative small businesses from getting anywhere.

          It’s about working on the high cost of living inside cities where most people must live in order to cover important jobs, using techniques like buildings made by either the government, where rent equals only the cost of upkeep, with no further outward profit, or buildings built by a private company, where they need to have at least a certain percentages of units have its rent cost only enough to cover upkeep costs.

          Liberals are none of these things. They are driven by what makes a profit for corporations and their shareholders. Conservatives are not much different. I believe conservative voters think they’re different, but don’t realize that in office, conservatives and liberals vote on all the same stuff ghat gives corporations this level of power and growth.

            True or False: Bill Gates said he favors higher tax rates than now. And MSN and “Liberals” on CNN/MSNBC want higher tax rates as well?

              I’ve never heard of him suggesting any actual wealth redistribution. I don’t follow MSN at all, but I’d imagine by higher taxes they mean slightly more taxes on people making 6 figures. I don’t care about people making only 6 figures. I don’t believe Bill Gates is out there promoting policies that will relinquish his financial power.

              Are you from the US? I think the lack of a leftist political party has skewed what Americans view as left. Not even any of the third parties (with a leader eligible to be president) are left. The democratic party of the USA is most closely aligned with the conservative party of canada, from the policies that I’ve seen
