this thread became a clusterfuck im proud of you
10/10 ragebait
Actually the first one is lemmy.world users confusing corporate centrists for socialism
☝️🤓
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.
The Linux crew is going to be cheesed
And vegan drama that you really don’t want to get involved in.
I unfortunately learned the vegan community here is largely hexbears, made the fatal mistake of commenting on a post there (as a vegetarian)
Throughout history, the most unimaginable pain and punishments have been issued by the fanatical unto the only very slightly less fanatical.
Oh that explains a lot
Yeah I used to follow the vegan group cos I like tips on vege eating but I had to quit cos the meat eater hatred was just too much
I mean… It’s one of the reasons I like it so much here.
posts about science
…and Linux.
and eating the billionaires
I’m not into cannibalism but I can definitely prep them for you.
Omnom.
And Star Trek
Which has killed more people then even communism!
Everybody who used Linux has died!
And/or will die.
I just hate how it is vilified when we literally freely give billions in taxpayer monies to oil companies.
Indeed, corporate socialism and the search for deregulation, self-regulation and cheap labor.
Uh…Political Memes on .world is not socialist. Much more of a, “vote blue, no matter who,” and, “but her emails,” vibe over there.
ITT: Lemmy’s biggest circle-jerk to date.
Idk, I think the vegan pets thing was pretty far up the list.
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
And posts about how everything related to Apple is bad and that all AI is really just auto correct.
“Oh you play games on a console? YOU SHOULD SET UP A LINUX GAMING PC.”
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.
Bro, I would love of the posts were actually about socialism and not just campist brain rot.
And linux!
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.
Who’s out there issuing atheist cards? And how do I get one?
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.
I’d never seen that, thanks for sharing it!
Wasn’t Torvalds’ dad member of communist party?
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!
I know it’s a copypasta, but I correctly differentiated GNU and Linux in my comment.
angry spitting libertarian noises
And my axe!
And my sword!
