Basically politicians are mostly self serving liars, who use extremist media outlets to spread deception to gullible people who don't really understand anything more than opinions and the herd mentality.

Hence multi-millionaire celebrities endorsing things they would never in 100 years participate it. Celebrities getting busted for not paying taxes in the 10's of millions, but meanwhile they are trying to convince us that we need to pay more taxes and distribue our wealth.

I dont own 100 cars and a helicopter.

I am not sure how people are figuring this out now. It's only common sense given googles business model and their history that your android phone is nothing more than a tracking and data generation device. I am sure Apple has it's flaws but Google uses Android to double down on selling your info.

Be smart, pick up an old Blackberry 10 device and use its Android emulator.

Hard to have a completely slanted bias on social media, and then have the social media provider share your opinion.
Mastodon is when you can't handle any one having an alternative option than you, so you log on to a twitter clone where you are the only person using it and are always right.
So it's basically the opposite of US services, where conservatives are hushed.
