Feel free to try and convince me otherwise but, games shouldn't be accessing your kernel at all. That's a major security issue. Also part of the reason why Linux has complete separation between kernel and OS

Peter Thiel comes to Paris to speak about the Antichrist

Deciding that the best solution to encroaching government power is more capitalist corruption of existing state institutions, and investing in Palantir, a tool that literally assists governments in controlling their populaces via soft power, is absolutely demented.

The solution to all of these problems is more democracy, not less. Create an actual system that puts power in the hands of the people, because this ain't it, and it never was.

Say we succeed in bringing down Capitalism. Then what?

Socialism. True economic and political democracy, that isn't managed by capitalists, landlords, or other centralised powerful groups, and where elections are not won by money.

It really is as simple as that. These comments are baffling. We can't have Norway or Switzerland globally, that is possible only by continuing to rely on the poverty of the global south.

I would argue facilitating somebody else's offensive action, is an offensive action. If I encourage my friend to punch somebody else, I have participated in the attack, and therefore have committed an offensive action. Debating over culpability here is ridiculous, the man who loads the bombs is just as culpable as the man who drops them.

Copying that simply will never garner the same results
