  • For me it’s categorizing radical ideologies correctly. I just hate people throwing around buzzwords, calling anyone a communist/fascist they disagree with. Those words have meanings. You can actually be worse then the fascists and still not be one, it’s not impossible. You can still be hated for that, but you didn’t automatically become one, because you are right-wing and coincidentally an asshole. But the moment someome calls you a fascist, while you’re just an asshole, their opinon automatically becomes invalid and wrong.






  • This may be a hot take, but I don’t think that on a linux specific meme community we should really care about what puts linux into a good light and what doesn’t. I mean have you seen vegancirclejerk? We are here to laugh and that can be achived by self-deprecating humor or parodying what others think of our system of choice as well.

    I switched to it not even three months ago, after two years on arch and I’m not going back. Just as if not more configurable than arch and it’s actually harder to bloat with something and then forget about it, since you always have user-readable description of your current system.

    Liberalism is the idea of giving people rights to assure their well-being. Liberalism doesn’t change, however it always finds new goals and with that new rights to secure for people. Once it secures a certain right it can be seen as integral to the ideology in the future and some of these rights are indeed the ones that make capitalism possible.

    The weird thing is, without judging present day politics, is that historically something much like the opposite has been happening since the french revolution, since liberalism always selects new goals and the next generation of conservatives always try to (mostly unsuccesfully) preserve the state liberals already achived by the time these conservatives were born.
