That voice was really difficult to listen to. And then talking about how Bill Gates shoves left wing media down our throats and uses msnbc as an example lol

He's a capitalist and one of the richest people in the world. Nothing about him fits the bill of a leftist. I think you're coming at this with the US's perception of the left, like the democratic party, which wouldn't be considered left almost anywhere else in the world.

Linus Torvalds is a bit more of a leftist, and the whole ideology of Linux is pretty fitting for the left.

Bill Gates is a hypocrite. He got wealthy off capitalism, yet often promotes socialist type policies. Also his policy ideas involve centralized control. And MSN links are promoted by bing

You're correct that Linux is free and therefore less corporate. But one could also argue that it's anti-big tech and google/microsoft are on the left. Also privacy is anti-NSA, and in this sense anti-government would be considered the right. However, people of all sides can enjoy Linux

God I wish he promoted socialist policies. But he certainly does not. I do not agree with the statement that "the biggest capitalists in the world are actually socialists".

People on the left are generally anti big tech, anti-google, anti-microsoft, anti-NSA. Anti-government is also not inherently right wing, especially if you look at anarchists instead of tankies. But adding restrictions onto giant corporations (that effectively become more powerful than the government) is more of a leftist opinion.

Let's start with the basics. Do you acknowledge that msn.com news leans to the left? Then do you acknowledge that Microsoft Bing and Windows, promote MSN?

Jfc, Linux isn't a religion, we don't have to proselytize. We aren't any fucking different to call anyone "normie", which is bullshit to begin with.

You wanna spread Linux? You use it, and if someone asks, you talk about it in an honest and friendly manner. That's all anyone needs to do.

Amen, brother!

Leading by example is the proper way forward.

Most people hate to be told that they should be using X because it is so much better than Y or Z.

Belittling the other person's preferences is a sure way to lose their interest.
