It doesn't matter if the servers are in Germany if everything is 
encrypted by default. In the end, all of Europe is compromised by 
globalist dicks who only believe in tyranny.

Everyone (in the US) has a Social Security number.  It is an identifier
that is attached to every citizen from birth until death.

I would like for everyone to have a public/private key pair, also attached
from birth until death. Then we could all communicate, pay bills, submit taxes,
etc., etc. in perfect security.

It should be a simple matter to do so.  There should no need for third parties.

That is my idea of a digital utopia.

I know that it will never be realized.

My internet access is through Verizon wireless but when I dropped my 
former ISP I continued to pay for to use their SMTP server and keep my 
email address.

Why? I would understand if you couldn't anyone with your sensitive data.
That's the only way. But why not the Germans? They lack far behind US
and China in the need to be extremely careful in what you give them.

They are overly sensetive about "hate speech", so consider censorship
and surveillance to be warranted.

I have already decided that I will never set foot in Britain or Germany, 
despite my wife's love for everything European. I can't respect their 
war on freedom of speech and don't want to even accidentally give these 
people money. I'm not surprised that the area that spawned Peter the 
Klöwn would wage war against a European's right to speak or tell the 
truth yet disregard all crimes committed by anyone whose skin is 
off-white or darker.

Germany does not have a good history with state suppression, and what
I've seen they don't believe in free speech, think "Hate Speech" is
something should be banned.  That means they cannot be trusted with my
data.  Any people who believe that certain forms of speech much be
policed cannot be trusted with regards to privacy.  They will have
strong motivation to work against it.
 
You've touch on an important point as well, the more determined the
state is to enforce diversity and tolerance, the less free it becomes.

Except that there is no universal definition of "hate speech," so what 
they are banning is "anything the government doesn't like." Besides, 
hate speech is the very thing freedom of speech is meant to protect 
since just any sentence uttered can be considered hateful. Heck, I gave 
a grammar exercise to my students a couple of years ago and there were 
two sentences that caused some of them alarm. One said something along 
the lines of "all boys love sports" and the other said "all girls enjoy 
romantic movies." To the woke cretins in the classroom, this was sexist. 
The fact that it was a grammatical exercise escaped them. They would 
have gladly caused whoever was responsible for writing the exercise at 
the publishing fired for that.

To them, freedom means "the freedom to repeat the state's narrative." 
Anything else is prohibited.

I would have objected too because of the use of universal quantifiers.

"Hate Speech" is a construct of Political Correctness, and is nothing
more than a rhetorical device.  I do not consider "hate speech" as being
anything really different to "heresy" or "blasphemy".  The purpose of
defining speech as "hate speech" is to signal what speech goes against
the religious orthodoxy of the day.  It is threatened by "Hate Speech",
which could undermines it goals, therefore has to ban it.  No different
to a Theocracy punishing speech which questions the supremacy of their
Deity.

And the entire point of Freedom of Speech is to allow one to hear ideas
and speech which are considered to be wrong, and this means protecting

The state has no choice though.  It has committed, and gone "all in" on
social changes which necessitate the creating of an authoritarian state.
There is no point appealing to the state to allow freedom, it simply
cannot afford to do this anymore.  The sooner people realise this, the
better.

It's actually a reference no one here would get, there was a big
poster in my old newsgroup back in the day, Robert F. Golaszewski, who
would say that something "sucked used cock".  I borrowed the line to
explain that I wouldn't suck a dick that just been up my own ass.

Wrong. Mutt is better.

Which means: it's bloated. It's full of distracting useless shiny
things. When I'm reading an email, I'm expecting to see something to
read, not something to print and to display on my walls.

If it can't run on a terminal: it's bloated. Simple and easy.

Mutt was, is and will ever be better. You can consider other tools if you
want, like pine for example. But your bloated shiny useless toy is
nothing close to the best way of reading emails.

Mutt is garbage.

Processing email requires the efficiency that only a GUI
can deliver, and Sylpheed delivers in a lean and mean style.

You got that backwards, idiot.

GTK+3 is bloated and not GTK+2.

Sylpheed is a *minimalistic* GUI based on GTK+2 and it beats
every other email client for efficiency and ease of use.

You are just too stupid to understand.

There is nothing "shiny" about Sylpheed.  It is highly functional
without distraction.  It is perhaps the perfect GUI application.

Email processing is relatively complex and a terminal cannot
manage without introducing an awkward

As I already said, Mutt, compared to Sylpheed, is total garbage.

Sylpheed is a Japanese product, and its quality is why I only
drive Japanese automobiles.
