3 and 4 much less so. I hope the Asahi team can keep it up. But there’s no guarantee.

True but also sadly as all the new models are a struggle to get working. So locked down they will likely end up much more in the landfills.

As someone from the area. Sadly.

This. The petite bourgeoisie cannot coexist. They must prey on society by their very nature. And they know that. As such they know that any actual socialist government is going to be set against them and will oppose it. As you have no doubt seen. The Lambs do not lay with the lion.

Unfortunately the only thing they have to offer you is equal but opposed state dogma. Excusing all repression social and otherwise because of the current infrastructure being built and the temporary uplift it brings to the people there. Once the infrastructure is built it will stagnate just like it did in the United states and elsewhere. A fact that they love to ignore. The United states for all its problems raised the material conditions of many people across the globe not just at home. Just like China currently. None of which justifies the bad they do. It’s ultimately not left vs right, or the west vs everyone else. It’s us vs the state. And anyone simping for a state is rightly suspect.

Well it has to be said, Hitler’s was blatant malice and incompetence projected outwards. Had he just slaughtered every romani and Jew in Germany. I don’t think the world would have collectively batted an eye if he’d stopped there.

Mao was largely incompetent internally. Though those attitudes have only metastasized in the country and turned towards malice which is now being set for export.

That depends on implementation. But “technically” could be, though I think the reality more often than not is that it isn’t.

Indeed. That would be far too reasonable though.

.world has a solid segment of unthinking leninist. Who substitute theory for thought. There isn’t an overarching ideology imposed on .world however. So you will find plenty anarchist/communist, democratic socialist, and even liberals too. But many of the leninist are very online and much more organized in imposing their dogma. Much to the detriment of discussion and the fediverse as a larger entity. A number of their politics specific instances are defederated from many exactly because they were known for brigading discussions. And while it can no longer be done directly from those instances. They still use accounts on other instances including .world.

100%

You can point directly to people and individuals impacted. And they will deny it to your face or find a way to attack the messenger without addressing the message. They have the word of the state. And as we all know. No State anywhere has ever lied or misled. Or any non Western State at least. /s

Yep, if resources were unlimited. Hording them would harm no one. But they aren’t. For one person to have more, multiple people must have their liberties imposed upon by having less. The wealthy are by their very nature a violation of liberty. Not an expression of it.

The state and these governments serve the wealthy. Who manipulate the media against the people. Why would the states go against the people they serve. Whom to be clear when I say the people they serve I don’t mean the people. I’m speaking about the wealthy.

When your stabbed in the heart there’s precious little they can do for you. The police absolutely did mishandle it though. But the mishandling realistically didn’t contribute to the death. Even if they had immediately applied pressure and chest compression. The odds of survival were truly Vanishing. But handcuffing them and leaving them to die was just callous and unnecessary. But that’s how police operate. You have to remember the average person would have hardly been qualified to handle that situation and the police are always less qualified than that.

They don’t provide much in terms of bandwidth for you to access your own media. Just a few bytes through their web services. Their bandwidth usage comes from their desire to be their own streaming service. They provide access to a whole bunch of other media you may have no interest in.

In a cult there is only worship. Never criticism.

Actually depending on tasks it can be up to a 25℅ boost. Though in gaming tasks it tends to be a 2 to 5% boost. Which while more moderate can still be felt. Where catchy excels is it’s CPU optimization. So if you’re CPU bottlenecked it can make a big difference. That said garuda and endeavor both give you the option of installing a cachy patched kernel.

Garuda is another easy arch like endeavor/cachy. I believe they even both provide kernel images with the cachy patches. But they aren’t the default. The really big negative with garuda is their default theme choice and setup. Endeavor/Cachy provide a much more vanilla setup out of the box. Making them a bit less problematic over all.

It isn’t “the west”. Not that the west was ever a meaningful construct. Intended to do anything other than occupy the extremely easily distracted. Turning them against others like themselves. It’s the state and those they serve. Themselves. Many of whom have just as much if not even more loyalty to places like Russia and China than they do the ones they live in. Not to mention China and others are looking to do similar in their own backyards.

Every single state everywhere on Earth is secretly salivating hungrily in the dark. For the thought of opaque, obscure black boxes. That are hard to question and unaccountable. Which will justify the things they want.

Politics is necessary. The state isn’t. The state always devolves in petty asinine ways.

So… Ant man’s chest?

Record the names and help any way you can to get the motherfuckers primaries till they’re out.
