The greed and narcissism of modern consumerist society has given everyone a dog-eat-dog worldview where working together as a species to solve problems, and making minor sacrifices, is “communism”. Moral and ethical bankruptcy is “freedom”.

Why plant a tree for future generations when you believe it won’t survive the climate in 50 years, or it will be felled to generate value for shareholders?

CEO made the exact same mistake most capitalist “Liberals” make, going all the way back to the Weimar republic and Hitler; believing what fascists say, are acting in good faith, and ignoring their actions; instead of being corrupt criminals and sociopaths who don’t care about the meaning of words.

My entire comment history is filled with criticism of capitalism, and I have a bunch of issues with proton, but this is just sad and not something I care about.

They are testing what price point is most attractive for NEW customers on a 24 month intro offer. Both of these offers revert to the standard price after 24 months.

Windscribe, as a 5 eyes based VPN, is not trustworthy, and posting “gotchas” like this makes them even more suspect. Proton is one of the only providers that offer a permanently free VPN. Windscribe has no free option.

Personally, I think a moral company would offer permanent discounts to long term customers, but there isn’t a single company on earth I’m aware of that actually does that.

Won’t be long until you are legally the ownership of evilcorp; a slave whose only purpose is to produce enough shareholder value to survive the next 24 hours.

I agree, but our state-capitalist oligarchies barely ever hold corporations liable for their intentional crimes. How are we gonna hold them liable for the unintentional ones?

They want to eat their cake, and have it to. Will capitalism benefit the capitalists like it does 99.99% of the time? You bet your sweet ass it will!

99.99% of the time, it works every time!

You don’t understand. Most of the worlds retirement accounts are heavily invested in these too-big-to-fail corporations. The worlds richest upper percentiles are directly tied to the profitability of the richest thousand corporations. If we start holding these criminals accountable for their crimes, that means less money for you and all the “uncle toms” that help perpetuate the late stage capitalist oligarchy. We couldn’t have that now, could we? Remember how much you like money? How much you like products? Who needs ethics or morality when you have money?
