Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

    The same people who call for executions also tend to be narcissistic to the point of never being able to handle any kind of criticism, ever.

        Unfortunately I’m not making them up, because if I was, communism would be far more popular.

        Instead of communists going, “well, maybe I could be better”, they go, “it’s all western propaganda that makes communism so unpopular, it could not possibly be me that ever does anything wrong”.

            “Marxism” polls very popular in an authoritarian 1-party dictatorship that strictly controls the internet, media, and speech, polls unpopular where freedom of speech is allowed.

            This is not the flex you want it to be, you’re really just proving my point that communists are terrible at messaging.

                Point out precisely where in this conversation I dehumanized an outgroup like you did with “westoid cesspool”, and I’ll concede that I am as much of a fascist as you are.

                    If you’re referring to this comment:

                    It’s not “dehumanizing” to criticize a government. The people of China - for them I have a huge amount of empathy and sympathy. I believe they deserve freedom of speech, and LGBTQ rights, and all human rights. I go out of my way to pay more for fair-trade goods, and avoid companies that exploit Chinese laborers (hello Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon).

                    There is a distinctive difference between unhelpful slurs (westoid cesspool), and legitimate criticism (1-party dictatorship).
