So anyway

To answer Pete Buttigeg:

That's the point! We're not Benjamin Netanyahu who enjoys targeting everyone but soldiers and police officers.

You know those Russian soldiers dropped their weapons during the October revolution.
If American soldoers are wise, they'd do the same.

Why does Arch seem to have a cult like following?

Arch is better because...

  • pacman, seriously, I don't hear enough of how great pacman is.
    Being able to search easily for files within a package is a godsend when some app refuses to work giving you an error message "lib_obscure.so.1 cannot be found".
    I haven't had such issues in a long time, but when I do, I don't have to worry about doing a ten hour search, if I'm lucky, for where this obscure library file is supposed to be located and in what package it should be part of.
  • rolling release. Non-rolling Ubuntu half-year releases have broken my OS in the past around 33% of the time. And lots of apps in the past had essential updates I needed, but required me to wait 5 months for the OS to catch up.
  • AUR. Some apps can't be found anywhere but AUR.
  • Their wiki is the best of all Linuxes

The "cult" is mostly gushing over AUR.

Are you being sarcastic?

Because, and anyone correct me if I'm wrong,
most people here know that what happened during the Tianenmen square insurrection was:

  1. Soldiers, mostly the army choir, are ordered to come unarmed and clear the square after months of students protesting in favor of Usonian state-backed exploitative economic teachings.
  2. 100+ Soldiers killed, mostly the army choir, by insurrectionists at a road adjacent to the square.
  3. Remaining army choir soldiers lead the protesters away through song from the square.
  4. 20+ Insurrectionists killed, as armed soldiers arrived and a battle broke out, on the same road.
  5. 100+ protesters killed, as a chaotic indirect consequence of the earlier insurrectionists' actions, at a train station miles away.
  6. Tanks arrive at the square to prevent further escalation.
  7. Tanks leave the square as situation deescalated and tank man blocks the tanks for a while, then leaves, on the same road again.

These insurrectionists went a lot further than the Usonian Jan 6th protest mostly known as the "Freedom Plaza massacre" where "peaceful protesters" entered the capitol building in order to "stop election fraud" where "perhaps 10s of thousands civilian lives were killed as US security opened fire at these peaceful protesters", because unlike CIA-backed insurrectionists, these "peaceful protesters" were ordered by their higher ups to leave immediately instead of being encouraged to block the US army from arriving at Capitol Hill or attack the US army for that matter.
