  • But also I’d say most people who have the time to endlessly talk about linux tend to be well-off and have the luxury of time to be able to research and talk about this stuff (not to mention having the time to troubleshoot Arch all day). They would naturally be more likely to hold rightist views by virtue of often being what might colloqually be called “middle class” coupled with being white cis men living in the imperial core.

    Conversely, could lack of time and the constant pressure explain reactionary views held by leftists?

  • Amerika is one of my favorite songs.

  • Under Stalin, who got several things wrong despite being one of the greatest men in modern history

    I think he'd get mad at you for saying that. I mean, I agree, but we need to take care not to fall into the trap of thinking he was behind everything the government he was in did, even the CIA doesn't think that. But yeah, I think psychology really evolved since the 30s and I'm glad it did.

  • Huh. I thought Lenin was cool about homosexuality. IIRC he was pretty progressive. He even banned corporal punishment.

    Yeah, medical consensus has really evolved since. Nowadays the DSM and ICD say that pedophilia and pederasty aren't linked, which I think explains the phenomenon of the elites being so into the latter, they're simply abusing power and getting their dicks wet rather than having the attraction.

  • Bit more political than Kevin's usual content. Refreshing.

  • I just built a rig I intended to last me the next ten years, and to obtain independence from Windows, NVIDIA, and Intel (though obviously not their x86 architecture or their AV1 encoding/decoding). I swore I wouldn't build another in that time unless things changed drastically soon and/or components became really cheap. I figured in ten years I'd be able to compile a much more Chinese rig (well, y'know, moreso than I have now because everything has some stuff from there).

  • Oh dear. Time to live off beans and rice then.

  • Sorry, I should've clarified. I meant under socialism.

  • The more we develop AI the sooner we can end employment.

  • Yeah, it's frustrating hearing this. We need to remember to stay vigilant ourselves. None of us are immune to thought-termination and propaganda.

  • Why is he treating it as a mystery? America literally did allow a thought-terminating virus to run rampant. There's also our deliberately poor education. We have answers to this, Yugo. It's not some incomprehensible phenomenon.

  • It could also be a matter of him not knowing.

  • I also objected to the comment because it was about something tons of people care very, very much about to the point of sexual harassment and doxxing. It should be something no one cares about but people invoke schrodinger's drama; it's significant enough to warrant horrendously harassing the participants but when called out on that people are like "don't make this about the shitty drama" despite the drama causing it.

  • And many of us do touch grass. Many of us also have free time. If they think we're too into shipping and fandom stuff they should see Xiaohongshu.

  • That is correct. Or they ship them for fun.

  • Someone opposed to fictional taboo ships who judges people for liking or making them. The latter part is crucial because a lot of proshippers don't care for taboo stuff but they don't look down on those who do.

  • It should be that insignificant, yeah. But it has gotten people doxxed, sexually harassed, and driven to suicide. Thus this drama warrants concern.

    What do you have against the unemployed? I'm disabled. I'm sorry for being unemployed. Maybe if working conditions were much better I could work.

  • I don't doubt some proshippers are groomers. There are a massive amount of proshippers, especially outside the west like in LATAM and Asian fandoms so it happens from time to time and other proshippers call it out.

    What is true is that there a massive amount of evidence of vocal antishippers being guilty of sexual harassment and abuse among other things. https://ultimate-shipping-sources.carrd.co/#documentation I think it's a symptom of a patriarchal problem where weird groups are scapegoated to draw attention from normies who actually commit sexual abuse because it's normal in this kind of society.

  • There's no mutual exclusivity here. He's a victim, yes. Same as how many advocates of corporal punishment are also victims of it. If we think deterministically enough, we're all victims of circumstance. But you can be a victim and an oppressor, and he is not as much a victim as Good was. Being ruthless to the system requires neutralizing these people whatever their circumstances are.
