Because of anti-customer features. Hard to implement those in a FOSS project, without a fork undermining you.

Distrotube is fairly normal imo. Tbh tho I listen to DT's vids primarily as sleeping aid

Shouldn't the ancient European pagan religions still have held on in that case? The Romans were willing to bend their religion in whatever direction to fit the cults of their neighbours and conquered people into their pantheon. They even tried to refit Jupiter into Abraham's God. I think it died out because it was too lax.

Same thing happened with Buddhism in India imo. Hinduism and Islam are significantly more "all or nothing", but that also made these religions more dominant than Buddhism and made the religion pretty disappear in India at least.

I have leftist views on many cultural and political issues, but getting firearms for my own usage is something essential for me. Though when the government retricts or loosens firearm laws I don't really care. I get them the legal way, regardless of how long or annoying that process could be.

I agree with every other point tho.

I am surprised how (relatively) mild the videos on Peertube are. For some reason I always thought that Peertube was even worse than Odysee.

He does attract a certain crowd on his channel. I think he did express his support on human rights issues like LGBT and racism on certain occasions. He seems kind of libertarian tho. Nevertheless he keeps his political opinions mostly to himself. The FOSS and privacy movements just attract weird people across the spectrum.

His videos are pretty watchable regardless of personal political opinions imo.

Cringe comment tbh. Religion is a net neutral institution. It can be nudged in any direction. Majority atheist states are not less oppressive than majority religious states. America does have a uniquely large amount of Christianity-inspired cults tho. I would say this more of an indicator of America's failing/non-existent social systems, rather than an inheritant feature of religion.

Cults, mafias and corrupt monopolies exist primarily, when the state fails at least in one key area. They act as competitors of the state. Competition in science, art and economy is great. In governance, competition means public chaos and oppression. Multi-party democracies are the only exceptions (to some extent).

As a Naples resident pirate, this disappoints me as well

The more conservatism, the more you go towards feudalism. Where staying poor and obedient for the rich elite is your godgiven duty. Monopolies need to be protected, as they act with god's mandate. Social rights are being formulated by a religious figurehead.

If every American exclusively votes for Conservatives for the next 100 years, America will revert to a confederation of Anglican and Catholic kingdoms.
