    Most of the arguments I have seen against it are ethos based, which imo is valid considering privacy involves a lot of trust in the company itself. Brave has had a bad track record with doing shady things (def the crypto part) but also things like blocking ads and replacing it with their own, and leaking TOR DNS records among other shady practices/mistakes. Plus on top of that it is based on chromium (maintained by Google) which for some might be a pro or a con.

    100% agree. Politics is very much a label and judge arena. It’s sad that the American Right has claimed the libertarian label and the gadsden flag, seeing that their authoritarian ideology couldn’t be further away from the real meanings of either actual libertarian philosophy or the flag itself.

    Real libertarianism in my opinion is closer to the writings of John Locke than it is to the current American Right. It’s sad that it’s been twisted to be seen in that way, and consequently hated that way too.



















  • This. I’ve learned recently that you shouldn’t assume the worst of people right off the bat. Most people are in the middle of the Bell curve; they are not your enemy, nor are they your friend. To assume that they wish to harm you or leave you out is, more often than not, false. It’s more likely that you just arent in their current sphere of attention
