To be fair that’s just Catholicism and not American Christianity ™®©.

Don’t get me wrong, American Christianity ™®© has its share of pedophiles, possibly even more than catholicism, however it’s usually straight because they just believe younger girls are more fertile.

American Christianity punishes all ideas of enjoying sex, even among animals.

The only thing MS has to do is not fuck up and use extremely archaic or extremely obscure manufacturer-specific technologies in order to have linux compatibility.

They failed to do that, which also means (and reviews show) this game has serious issues on lots of windows devices as well. Since everything that causes poor performance on linux at this point will also cause poor performance on some windows setups.

The point of laundering is to make money appear legally obtained at a glance. While most crypto winners are coke fiends, not all are, so if they want money for reasons other than drugs they need that money converted into real money.

Liberals like you are no different from spez ideologically. I hope you change your ways and get educated.

Everything updates faster than apt, and AppImages just work if that’s the standard we’re going with.

It’s less that and just the absolute ridiculous scope creep of systemd. Again it was meant to just replace init. All it needs to do is boot the kernel and run at launch services, and people disagree on that last part.

It shouldn’t be basically a second layer to the kernel in both application and necessity.

Why are people using flatpak again?

Turn off transcoding and/or unify the codecs on your totally legally acquired library that you legally ripped yourself.

Linux is a secure operating system, windows is not. Making kernel level anti-cheat for Linux is difficult, and should be functionally impossible; as kernel level anticheat is absolutely no different than malware in its attack vector on the kernel. This means, for lazy dev teams, they can’t implement the laziest possible method of anticheat, which they get upset about since they have lost all ability to actually have anti-cheat teams.

No, there’s just no point in painting a burning car or swapping the door hinges during a house fire or putting lipstick on a pig post slaughter.

You have to fix the core of the problem before you start worrying about the minor details that cannot meaningfully exist without the initial problem being solved. Creating this currency would not solve any problems whatsoever with the current state of the world. It would not improve anything.

You know how I know that? Bitcoin was the thing you are describing. How’d that work out? The same way literally any digital currency will work out while the concept of capital is allowed to exist. It will be bought, hoarded, and narrowly metered out in the absolute best case scenario. And all possible frameworks that could possibly avoid that fate are just the concept of socialism dressed up in increasingly silly and decreasingly useful abstractions.

If you want to have a nice sailboat you don’t start with the deck trimming. You don’t even start with the sails. You start building the framework of the hull and then possibly get to the finer parts later, when what you have won’t just be dunked in the ocean because you think you don’t need the entire rest of the boat to have a boat.

What state? Because it cannot be any european state. It can’t be any state in the Americas. It can’t be most asian countries. It absolutely cannot be Australia.

There is no state that is both already uncaptured by capital and palatable enough to avoid sanctions in the west. Since that’s the actual only reason sanctions exist, to punish those not currently fully captured by capital holders.

So it cannot be state backed.

Can it be insured without a state? Maybe, but then whoever insures it sets the rules for it. This is the problem with the Federal Reserve owning USD versus the US government. Can it be physically backed without a state? No.

If this magically came into existence in a state and was even slightly effective, that state would magically be developing nuclear weapons the next day and invaded. Just a reminder Gaddafi was doing what you’re proposing… and global capital was so mad he was allegedly anally penetrated by machetes while the entirety of the country was effectively destroyed.

Any solution that gains traction developed by a state would get that state eliminated.

And any solution not made by a state will either be a scam, be monopolized by capital as its an asset and someone will be willing to sell it, or will simply not catch on since businesses would find no incentive to use it in large enough numbers to function. You’d need half of a country’s economy, at minimum, to switch to that new currency for people to effectively circulate it. Which is why bitcoin never took off as a currency. Which is why no crypto will ever really be used as a currency outside spot transactions. Your employees need to be able to pay their taxes with it. Which in any country means the government approves of it, which means its not a threat to them, which for 150 countries means it is not in any way a threat to capital and can be fully controlled by it.

It’s a good solution for global socialism. And socialist countries wanting to make that transition away from the last vestiges of capitalism might find utility in a state-issued digital currency… as long as capitalism does not exist anywhere at any point at that time. Because it just takes one economy where you can buy this digital currency like any other commodity in exchange for USD or other currency that can buy goods; just one to ruin everything.

Unfortunately what you’re suggesting is crypto. Which as we’ve seen isn’t really compatible with any world where capitalism still exists; as capitalists will just monopolize it.

The alternative to corporatism isn’t fascism, in fact they’re the same thing at different stages. Accepting the fascists because they are an ‘alternative’ to corporations is like accepting castration because it is an alternative dentistry.

Back when deeply ingrained societal ideas were first being forced into the genome it took a wide-range of life experience to survive to an old age. Sure most people that lived to 5 made it to 50 for most of human history, barring pandemics and society-changing genocideswars, but most people don’t even gray or wrinkle by then in any significant way. But we all know to treat old-looking people with more respect than others; specifically because to make it from 50-whatever before a time of antibiotics and nutritional science required an incredible amount of experience dealing with a lot of people (you could just be left to float out on an iceberg or chucked off a cliff or left in a forest if people don’t like you after all) and an incredible amount of folk wisdom on how to get a varied diet in the location you were in so that the common stuff doesn’t kill you even when you’re vulnerable.

We’ve abandoned that part of the human and animal experience, but we still hold the genetic memory of the time when that was common, since it was less than a century ago for most of humanity. The old people alive today statistically rarely struggled, they never really had to grow up, and they inadvertently developed a society perfectly focused at keeping old people alive for as long as possible to drain them of all their financial resources. So they have no more wisdom than a 20-something that doomscrolls on the fairly educational side of the internet.

It’s really not that complicated, they likely had a contract to move the oil at x price, but with oil prices being artificially inflated to ridiculous levels thanks to Seal Team Trump the sub contractor likely charged someone way more for the product without informing Iran of the change, in hopes of pocketing the extra cash; forgetting the only reason they have a job at all is because Iran allows it.

Then leave, nazi.

Some political ideologies and opinions are objectively not okay to exist in modern society, and those who hold those opinions should be eliminated. This isn’t a controversial opinion outside a tiny bubble in the US who think deep down every nazi is just a misunderstood cash cow waiting to be secreted away by the CIA.

Amnesty.org is a US Government organization created by Cold War era Intelligence agents. It is not an internationally recognized neutral organization and has no history of neutrality. They magically find issues with anyone that the US deems as an enemy, but has never criticized the US.

HRRC I’ve never heard of, but for a generic NGO that appeared out of no where that posts opinion articles that contradict their own sources, they aren’t off to a good start. Also not an official organization of anywhere.

USHMM Hosts no sources, has no researchers on staff, has no direct connections to china, and appears to be israeli owned and operated so nothing they’ve ever said or posted is likely to be true.

A) BlueMAGA exclusively refers to the 'Vote Blue no Matter Who" Crowd. It was a leftist term before you liberals even knew what MAGA was.

B) There is no forced sterilization found. Some was alleged at one point, but there has never been evidence, including production of the individuals who claimed this happened, ever. The only source for this was anonymous reports from Radio Free Asia, the CIA propaganda outlet that also purports to believe China is stealing white children from tourists.

C) Family Separation, aka taking kids into state care when their parents are arrested. This has been the only confirmed cases where this has happened, according to the report that I linked.

D) Sexual Violence possibly happened… as it does in all criminal justice systems. We don’t know, there is no evidence of this, including production of anyone that has ever claimed this happened to them; but yes this is the most probable ‘abuse’ that exists. If you give prison guards power and privacy, they rape. This is true in every single country on Earth and is a reason that eventually justice systems need to be abolished.

E) Forced Labor, aka, what every single country on earth does with prisoners during rehabilitation. Every single one. There isn’t a prison system where this doesn’t happen. It’s part of every psychologist’s recommendation for correcting criminal behavior.

F) “Illegal deportation” isn’t a thing that can happen.

G) ‘Cultural Genocide’ is a thing thanks to the US definition of genocide, but even that’s not actually being alleged since, you know, you can visit Xinjiang and actually speak Uyghur to nearly anyone there. It’s taught in every school in the region to all persons in the region, along with mandatory cultural festivals for students. Same as Cantonese being taught in that region, Tibetan taught in that region, and Mongolian taught in that region. Because of these facts no one even tries to claim cultural genocide anymore, and it doesn’t fit any other possible definition of genocide.

Was the response to a half decade of terror attacks a bit extreme? Maybe, that’s subjective. And not something anyone in the US or Europe can criticize, given you people responded to terror attacks by killing 2+ million Arabs.
