Fuck me man. Why is everything fucked. I feel like I have to boycott everything at this point.
Startpage and proton were my mail “services” and now they’ve both gone to shit, great.

Pretty much.
I keep an ever-growing “shit list” now of companies with whom I no longer do any business (e.g., Amazon; but lots of brick ’n mortar businesses, too).
It sucks. It makes me feel like a crazy person. But here we are.
I’d always been a centrist shitlib normie (I liked watching The West Wing back in the day and found it inspiring, for example). But the Overton Window has been so thoroughly shitfucked lately, now I’m allying myself with the Socialists because they’re the only ones offering any real resistance to this Fascist oligarchy bullshit.
I don’t know how things got here so fast, and why the Democrats are just rolling over for it all (actually, I do, their big corporate donors). The Democratic Party is effectively complicit in all this. If we ever manage to wrest our Republic back from The Fascists somehow, we need to then focus on punishing the Democratic Party as well.
Swisscows is still around. Good alternative
I'd be surprised if this was more than him signing up for an affiliate marketing link and driving traffic to the site.
But I agree. He's fascist mentally-ill trash, and no respectable business should be associated with him in any way.
I've been using startpage and had no idea about this... Thanks for the post!
.
Use Mojeek, it has an independent index, and no problems, AFAIK.
Do you use it? Last i remember it gave terrible results
Somewhat. Needs a lot of fixes, but it is the only alternative. All the others have been abandoned..
