There is absolutely zero excuse for them to not host an apk on their website and zero excuse for anyone on our side to not learn how to install one
If we can't even put in the basic effort to operate outside the enemy's zone of control then we deserve to lose
Agreed. I know most people are technologically retarded, but our enemies capitalize on this fact. That's how they keep us in these walled gardens.
It reminds me how, in Fahrenheit 451, most people stopped reading books long before they were burned.
Android is set up so that if you attempt to install an APK, it brings up a warning about how it might be DANGEROUS and HARMFUL and you should only trust apps from the app store. It's a way to scare normies away from installing anything not personally vetted by Google, and it absolutely works.
The fact that Google uses scare tactics to prevent you from using anything but their service to install apps absolutely violates monopoly laws, but their behavior is useful to the establishment so nothing will ever come of it.
Thankfully, you can use the explanation of "millions of people saw this warning when they installed Pokemon GO before it was region-unlocked back when it first came out. It's just Google covering their ass. I used an APK to get Pokemon GO back then, didn't you?" to get people to bypass that mental block.
