You would be surprised how little even members of the EFF understand technology. The broader organization and the people writing their articles may understand, but the well-meaning activists that make up their membership may be completely uninformed - and unaware that they are uninformed, or may believe that the trade-off of broader outreach or ease of use for potential new members is worth, ironically, the breach of privacy and security.

    You live in a bubble of information and do not yet understand that most activists are only one step above the average non-techy citizen. Significant portions don't even know what Signal is, much less GrapheneOS or self-hosting. No one is coming to save you - you must be the one to do the education in your area.

    They are, there's "huge deals" on chicken burgers, chicken strips, chicken wraps, fried chicken, chicken tenders, "chicken fries", chicken sandwiches, McChicken, chicken tacos, chicken burritos, and every other version of "chicken" there is - and a lot of offerings where the meat is nondescript have dropped the meat type in the description in favor of just "mini tacos", "classic tacos", "meat and bean burrito", "chili", etc, at least as far as I've seen. The biggest pushers seem to be Taco Bell, Carl Jr, and Jack in the Box.

    Think about the reddest, most homophobic, bigoted, capitalist, Fox News brained person you can think of who thinks Black people are animals and Hispanic people are all drug smuggling cartel members and "illegals" "deserve" the camps. Now double the bigotry and then imagine a whole town full of that, and, like, one single scared gay kid. That's not every town, but it's a frighteningly large number, because America is a massive place and unfortunately with a continent this big you'll end up with clusters where the outlier becomes the norm.
