<div dir="ltr">The "Freedom Phone" which is supposed to protect
your fragile conservative egos from the ravages of big tech,
turns out to be a $179 retail Shenzhen manufactured phone being
sold for $499 retail with a generous affiliate cut to the right
wing mouthpieces willing to promote it. And it's app store is a
skin over the google play store. <a

<p>I dunno, it seems like by rough measure the entire third world

<p>I take your point re: Right Wingnut abusive co-dependency.
Where lies the distinction between codependency and co-evolution?
We have spoken here before about parasitic symbiotes. Have our
polarized right/left not somewhat co-evolved together and are also
in-fact codependent to some extent? The Right *needs* the left
to be someone they can "own" in the same many men use their
wives/children/subordinates/dogs as a place to shore up a thinning
ego?</p>
