for some of us, particularly queer, black, trans, women, immigrant, and indigenous people, the stakes are higher than "i don't personally agree with the ceo of proton." our lives are being endangered both by the new admin's policies as well as the emboldened cult associated with it.
this is not a "spaz" (offensive term by the way, so thanks for that) or brat move. it's simply us doing what people always say to do: voting with our wallets. this move is bad for a lot of people. i'm thrilled for you that it's not bad, but i ask you to see us saying it is bad not as your enemy, but as people who are vulnerable asking you to take a longer look at the bigger picture
