    FREEDOM PHONE; The Alt-Rights Next Self Own?

    For the fashy kids that loved Gab and Parler, they're gonna go wild over the next "going our own way" piece of alt-right tech:

    Erik Finman, the self-proclaimed youngest bitcoin millionaire announces the FREEDOM PHONE:
    This is the first major pushback on the Big Tech companies that attacked us - for just thinking different.
    Complete with it's own Uncensorable App Store & Privacy Features.
    We're finally taking back control.


    1. Take a $60 phone
    2. Preload it with the Uncensorable App Store Parler
    3. ???
    4. MArk it up to $500
    5. Profit!

    Reaction videos for this thing are brutal.

    It's almost like one can trace a straight line from this, to Rush Limbaugh selling miracle pills on AM radio.

    Note that not only is it a cheap-ass phone, it's;
    A> Chinese-made, meaning it's probably chock-full of spyware stealing your personal data, and
    B> It won't get you back on Twitter or Facebook or whatever your shitmongering got you banned from; there's literally nothing this phone could possibly do for you in that respect. It's literally just preloading the garbage Nazi social media platforms. That's it.

    I wish I'd thought of this grift myself, frankly.

    I wish I were more creative or had any kind of development skills. Pretty sure you'll just need to be able to slap the word "freedom" or "guns" or "america" or "trump" etc onto an App name and you'll have a winner in what is essentially a targeted market for gullibility.

    Man I can't wait to eat some freedom fries while using my freedom phone while driving my pickup truck with a giant "TRUMP 2020" flag hanging out the back and wearing my flag shirt and flag cap and flag pin, gonna show everyone how patriotic and American I am.

    "We don't ban apps, period."

    Sweet, so I guess the store's gonna be packed full of all kinds of delightful malware.

    It's hilarious, because it's almost like they're taking Adam Savage, "I reject your reality and substitute my own." joke like, increasingly seriously.

    Though hey, you don't really need much of a business model when you're making an absolute killing with every sale and are saving massive loads of money on actually having to create a phone. I don't even want to know how quickly the PatriApp (I give them credit for trying, but this one is a little forced) is gonna get breached.

    Candace Owens endorsed this product by tweeting about it(including video of her using it) from her iPhone. It’s like the most obvious grift they could come up with.
    I actually have an early beta version of the phone and its much more than that.

    Probably has the Daily Stormer on the home page, and you can't get rid of it.

    I won't link to it, but they have a referral program for the phone that apparently pays out "Up to $50" for each person who uses your promo code.

    This just keeps getting better and better.

    It is more like. Tell us you fall for Nigerian prince and IRS warrant scams without actually telling us you fall for those scams.

    I don't know anyone quite stupid enough to buy the phone so much for grifting easy referral bux.

    Do you have that uncle that almost no one talks to at family functions because he always goes on political tirades or do you have that grandma who says really racists stuff and you just brush it off that she is from an older time. Well if you do then you definitely found your grifting targets.
