Well now I feel silly. Brb changing my default path.

Can we just have flatpak apps added to the system path by default? Like have a directory /usr/local/flatpak/bin and have links to all the executable show up there. Then users can choose to add that to their path if they wish.

You’ve not looked into Communism too much have you?

Marx had the opportunity to see Communist movements rise in his own timeline. And he opposed the implementation of Communism in a Democratic manner. And wrote about it in his criticiques of the Germany’s Communist movements source. In his criticiques he lays out how he believes a transitional state should be laid out, how it should be organized. And later Lenin refers extensively to this blueprint in his written works and it’s clear to me upon reading that he truly believes what he says.

In my experience about almost every modern day Communist hear arguments made about the USSR not being based in Communism and have failed to even hear of this critique of the mythic Democratic Communism they believe I’m so much.

Read the critique, and given everything you know about human beings tell me honestly, do you truly believe a multi-generational dictatorship of the proletariat, led by you (or someone whom you’d champion), would really work?

I’m saying that your political opinions and knowledge of history is based on vibes…

I’ve been on the internet a very long time. But this is the first time I’ve seen a Communist (or anyone really) ague their position based on the vibes of the person their arguing against.

You’re not more Communist than Lenin. Read his letters and works (they’ve been translated to English) and tell me that’s not a man who truly believes in the things Marx said.

Not really sure what you’re trying to say here.

The ideas are why it failed. Thats the core problem. Marx believed he could build in essence a church of Communism that would be incorruptible zealots who would lead society to Communism. A dictatorship of the proletariat led by an enlightened few who could teach and reeducate the masses to live in productive harmony with one another. And that, for many reasons, never works.

Ironic as I went the other way. I was a Communist when I got into FOSS and as I got older I realized I could never defend the historical record of Communism.

Well I did say sometimes.

I feel you. At some point distro designers decided that shutdown/reboot were suggestions instead of commands. I too have had troubles with hot backpack syndrome and it’s super annoying especially when traveling. You think you’re going to turn on your laptop on a plane with 100% battery ready to do some offline work and now you’ve got a lava hot brick with 7% battery life left.

And sometimes it will even work!

Gonna need a source on that.

There are more cases of measles in Western society than Nazis. Measles has been “largely wiped out” when compared to it’s peak.

I heard someone call the removal of the green M&M fascism once. Just because people label it as such doesn’t make it accurate.

Nazis were largely wiped out before society at large realized Carbon emissions were a problem. Externalizing problems with our nation states on “Nazi Gremlins” instead of our lack of dedication to freedom is exactly why these theoretical protestors are political prisoners.

The tactics are tyrannical but not uniquely fascist. Jailing political opponents because they angered the crown is a European tradition that predates Rome.

Lols it does. I suck at typing.

When did Anti-environmentalist tomfoolery become pro-Nazi?

Didn’t they try twice? We we’re back to back World War champs for nothing.

No, but we have this thing called the 6th amendment that lays out the minimum requirements for prosecution. (known as due process). Pre-crime clearly breaks those minimums.

Some European tell me again why you believe you have free speech.
