SmartTube has Sponsorblock integrated by the way.

IronFox is on F-Droid. That where I got it from at least

Voyager is the best imo.

I was talking about my personal observation in Germany. We don't give a shit about Fox. We have BILD and Nius instead. Also state media keeps inviting Nazis to talk shows. But social media is the main driver here.

In Germany it's definitely true. You can witness this process in real-time. I already know the "arguments" the brainwashed masses come up with and if there's some new hot take, I usually go to one of the fact checking sites and immediately find said hot take there. It's crazy how easy it is to manipulate the masses via social media. There has never been anything more efficient than this shit.

This can be said for the internet in general. Just look at the brainwashed masses. Without easy access to the internet via smartphones, Trump, Weidel, Wilders, Meloni etc. would never stand a fucking chance.

I mean, you even get rust on brakes in PHEVs. It's normal and not much of a problem.

Someone downvoted you. Just wanted to say, that said person is a moron.

That's only half the truth though. The main reason why they're so cheap is because they manufacture everything in the supply chain themselves. Everything. They have their own mines for their resources, they make their own batteries (which they've been doing for ages), they make their own electronics, they make their own software etc. They also have a completely different mindset. For them they are rolling electrical devices with some software. They don't need the knowhow of the traditional car manufacturers. And then they bought the Audi designer along with his entire team to make the cars look good.

Edit: I'm talking about BYD. The rest is pretty much irrelevant.

Wouldn't the fediverse actually be a good starting point for getting organized? That always seems to be the most difficult part. The Nazis have it easy because they have plenty of money to use the algorithms for their own advantage.

I'm very happy that people like you exist. It's just not as easy as you make it seem. I live in Germany and we face a very similar political fate. I feel pretty helpless. I go to protests, I donate money to causes that work against nazi shit. I invested heavily in changing my lifestyle to a much greener one. But all of that has just a tiny impact unfortunately. I'm too old to get physical plus I have to take care of my daughter. Many people are reliant on a functioning society.

As long as social media exists the way it does now, nothing will really change. I will be writing EU officials to boycott American tech. If Europe stops using that shit, propaganda is reduced to traditional media, which isn't nearly as effective. But again, this is just a tiny drop in an ocean of things we would have to do.
