The only simple reason lies within their name, "deprogram". The target is not people like us. You have be a bit loose (realism) while being firm with your ideology (ideals). Otherwise there will be no treading of blurred lines, and only separated camps.

Physics became such a slugfest for me early on, because I did a deepdive project on Higgs boson during middle school. It did not help that integration calculus became my weak point later on, but I did what I had to. Weird days.

PSA: Just want to give a heads up on what is about to come in the way of Lemmy users, a huge WARNING

Reply in thread

We’ve handled an “exodus” before (they go back to Reddit in the end no matter how much they criticise it), we’ve handled trolls, we’ve handled DDoS attacks, they can’t bring anything we haven’t seen before.

But before this, liberal Borg/Collective has not moved like this across the internet overnight. The network effect can be overwhelming, and there will be leaks like the user who got ratio'd below. It is best to have an understanding of these other instances popping up, as there are about 10-12 major Lemmy instances now.

My visual picture of it is that Americans have eternally been conditioned to "capitalise" on everything possible, and since USA is reaching its final conclusion in the chapter of superimperialist capitalism, people are probably subconsciously thinking of it as capitalising off of the remains of their country as it collapses away. Seems to me like a perfectly fitting end to the last bastion of Anglo empire.

Not yet read the materials, mainly because of the whole Reddit exodus thing that will be going on for a while. I have to think what to do with my privacy subreddit. I will take time to participate here unless I can fully accept where I stand on the social slider, because I am protective towards this space even if I may have to leave. I did pursue other methods into seeing redpill arguments and Jubilee YT channel middle ground debates related to alphamale/beta/feminism and such.

It sounds mean, until you realise these people enable US government only to enjoy their rich lives thanks to the overseas profit-generating genocides and foreign regime changes, never commit revolution against their state, conveniently screamed the past year how Russians should have overthrown Putin and his party so NATO could balkanise Russia, and demonise China everyday when after centuries they finally get to enjoy better quality life in the past few decades.

This does not stop with Russia, China and war machinery business. They see outside of Europe (now they are even exploiting Europe) and themselves, rest of the countries and continents as cattle meant to serve them either as slave pets or as beef. Now, one could say, it is the state, but it comes back to proletariat committing revolution, instead of which they chose to enjoy American/white privilege.

Until 2008 crisis, and even after that, they loved their privileged environment gained by all the exploitation and genocide, and you can even see this in the form of nostalgia they sell the world in the form of "oh before 2008/09 it was all bliss and merry, wish those times were back".

The ones who lose, only have themselves to blame, for they could have chosen to forgo the comfort of genocide-derived privileges, and committed revolution against the state. It was a matter of picking the greater, longer good but they chose to pick the shorter happiness, because USA apparently in their heads was an infallible Goliath.

To add a little, I value more the importance of 5+ billions of lives over 0.35 billion lives.

Edit: I think I missed something important. Not every average common person is a deranged Twitter liberal, however, it does not excuse them of being revolutionary. They choose to be, and openly admit being passive in drawing room discussions. If they had an excuse of being vulnerable from state actors due to having family/children, well now they and/or their children will face the consequences of their inaction.

Do you Linuxify all of your PCs?

Reply in thread

I used Linux for the most part for 5 years straight, since Ubuntu 16.04 Unity launched. Since then, I only used Windows in a VM until a couple months ago, and I was a Windows user before Ubuntu 16.04, back to the Windows 95/98 days.

Today I keep Windows by the side because it has its use cases, plus it is always good to know something as common as Windows like the back of the hand, since I am IT industry material at the very core. AME allows me to use Windows without any spyware worry and performance and bloatware issues.

I am basically one of the more unique privacy advocate users that can do both Linux and Windows well, but I need to get a much more stronger grip on Linux quickly.
