    Buy a map book. Plan your journey in advance. Cars were a thing for decades before map software was a thing, and everyone muddled through. You can too.

          I grew up using maps to navigate. I learned land navigation before you were working a full time job. I don’t use Google’s search engine. I don’t buy their new phones. How do I know you’re not the fascist bootlicker, being a rage-baiter online to sow discontent?

            Well, you could try not being a fucking moron? I mean, Im telling you all to drop google and apple. How in the blue fuck would that advance my position, if I was a fascist bootlicker?

            Look, its real fucking easy. You do something, or you dont. But if youre not going to, then be fucking honest about it. Dont make shit up about how its too hard to read a map, or that you wont be able to make calls or whatever other stupid as fuck excuses have been made. You are all moaning about the gestapo running around, and how these mobile providers are supporting their actions. The action required is clear, turn off your phones. Dont buy new ones. But here we are, fuck know how many replies in, and its nothing but “Oh, I would. But then, how could I find my way around?” Or “oh, I would. But linuxphone isnt ready yet…”. Like old nokias or dumb phones arent a valid option. But what do they not have? Social media bullshit. Which makes the argument they are making pretty fucking clear. They only care about being seen to be standing up to fascism. If they cant get the up arrows, they dont want to do it.

            Its the same with Amazon treating its workers like shit. Everybody moaned, but no one stopped ordering because that would inconvenience them too much. A generation of moaners, thats all these people are. With no fucking backbone to actually stand up for what they, say, they believe in.

      It was also much more dangerous. I know, I was there.

      Somethings today advanced for safety reasons for very good reason. If it comes negotiating conspiracy over safety I think it’s at that moment that it’s fair to say it is unreasonable.
