It's honestly depressing how many grifters there are out there taking advantage of people on the right. If it included a from-scratch OS rewrite it might justify the price tag, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Its depressing because it keeps happening with such ease. Shows just how broken and desperate many are just to be acknowledged, let alone a little catering to.

One thing the left has done a better job of than the right is internalize the idea of the "commons". Right-wingers seem to have completely internalized the idea that anything worth a damn is something that you need to privatize and charge money for and make money doing. So they're a lot more suspicious of anything that people just give away and cede that ground to the left. Major mistake.

I wish the "right wing dev squad" threads on /pol/ had more traction than they did, because there was a lot of untapped potential there.

It shows how gullible they are, expecially when it comes to technology and privacy. Just look at Parler, Gettr and this Freedom Phone nonsense. These guys are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a privacy respecting phone when they could just flash a custom ROM on existing devices if they really cared. It's foolish and lazy.

I kinda understand why many would spend money on it. For people who can barely save a file on pc,flashing a custom firmware on a phone will not be easy. You have to think that not everyone is a uber hax0r, or technically savvy enough to flash a firmware.

My phone is using an unlocked android and unlocked region. Of my whole family, I am the only one capable of doing it. I have relatives so technologically averse that they think an error window asking you to close an unresponsive program is the hardest thing in the world.

There's also a selection bias, the cathedral never comes down as hard on the grifters as the actual sincere future contenders to their authority, so they actually tend to last a lot longer.

To be fair, there are also a ton of grifters taking advantage of people on the left.

Look at BLM. How many Black owned businesses did they help get off the ground? How many million dollar houses did the "Marxist" founders buy with those donations?

If anything, the grifters are much more successful on the left. They get all the corporate backing.

That, and do you think that someone who has a "Hungry, homeless" sign, but is of sound body, and will refuse anything but cold hard cash of sufficient domination will get more money from conservatives or liberals?

Look at the number of grifters taking advantage of people on the left and you'll perk right up.
