    Political Memes is socialist?

    I literally blocked it because it’s just liberals pretending to be socialist.

      I was banned from there for “misinformation” when I explained MLK’s position on moderates and linked his letter from Birmingham jail.

        A guy on there told me that I should thank liberals for the Civil Rights Act, and when I pointed to the letter from A Birmingham Jail, his response was, “and yet they passed the Civil Rights Act a year later. Curious, no?” Like…yeah dumbass, because actual progressives kept pressuring them publicly, like King did in the Birmingham letter.

      I unfortunately learned the vegan community here is largely hexbears, made the fatal mistake of commenting on a post there (as a vegetarian)

    Uh…Political Memes on .world is not socialist. Much more of a, “vote blue, no matter who,” and, “but her emails,” vibe over there.

    It hasn’t really been my experience here. Yeah there is some.

    Have you tried being less aimless at what you subscribe here? Do you come here because you want to connect with information, or just mindlessly doom scroll and consume?

    If you’re not intentional about your social media tools, you will have a bad time.

      Or maybe it is that bad and I’m just tuning it out? I pass by a lot of stuff that I don’t interact with.

        See, you got the right idea. Lots of stuff i don’t agree with i just let it sliiiide on by.

        90% of the homies angry at the bear and .ml are that one type you already know. The type that can’t stand to see something in their feed they disagree with. Like the guys who’ll come into Apple threads to say “Android is superior lol”.

        So anyway these chuckleheads come into those socialist threads with the attitude they were gonna “teach some 14 yo commies” or some other candy-assed shit and got whiplash from gettin bounced hard by a mod.

        I love to see it. Every time a thread like this pops up a bunch of trolls come out to complain and i get to look up their mod logs to laugh at their embarrassing moments.

        Its not a great habit, schadenfreude, but it beats smoking weed

      My biggest gripe about the android/Apple debate is that half the “features” that android/Apple users talk about, 95% of the user base doesn’t even know how to use.

      Not every android user is a technical sevant and most Apple users are poor so they can’t take full advantage of the biggest advantage which is seamless integration with their other Apple devices. Most of us are too poor to even have the phone, let alone a MacBook, AirPods, and every dongle needed to use the device.

      I mean, Linux (and the entire ecosystem) is a fundamentally socialist concept.

        I would say GNU is one that’s openly socialist. If Linux’s (or rather, Linus Torvald’s) philosophy is socialist, they either do a very good job of hiding the fact or there is a lot I don’t know about them.

            That doesn’t make him a socialist. He doesn’t espouse any of the core socialist beliefs there. He’s just saying he’s a “woke communist” (as described by the right), which could mean anything from a centre-left liberal to a Marxist.

              Socialism is when Linus does stuff. And it’s more socialism the more stuff he does. And if he does a real lot of stuff, that’s communism.

            Maybe so, but children don’t always adopt the ideology of their parents. They usually do, but not always.

          I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

          Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

          There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
