  • I think a big part of it comes from having such radical opinions, and having that amplified as a condition of the instance. Because of that you get people coming in all the time saying the same things, repeating what are (to those in the instance) the same old arguments heard a million times, the welcome can be easily over stayed. With that I think people that grew up in ‘The West’ tend to have a lot of assumptions they can’t really justify or place about communist countries, and when those show through in an instance full of history pervs that strongly disagree, their response is maybe not a full “fuck off”, but enough of one to downvote.








  • I think the implication is supposed to be that people get common misconceptions from tech influencers doing linux videos, but it does kinda work as her drinking from both.

    To put on my fanciest trilby and um actually it, I think a more accurate version would be the straw having “popular misunderstandings” and the man being “linux newcomers”. Then it would be pure and correct, and I could sleep at night.




  • Sorry my bad, I thought jokes about Mamdanistan were more common internet parlance, the point is a radical leftwing state in the minds of fox news viewers. I was doing the limiting case to prove the point, but the base point is prosecution of criminal environmental acts through courts requires hierarchy.

    I guess I have to ask what you mean by hierarchy if you don’t believe that courts executing people counts.


  • Okay, but just grounding it in historical context doesn’t make it the definition. If Mamdani established Mamdanistan and abused courts to execute people polluting ground water with data centers, that would be hierarchical, but very clearly not “right wing” in the common understanding.

    Opposing hierarchies is generally fitting, but the minutia of politics make such simple definitions harder to agree on by everyone, which touches on their point.
