They don’t have purist politics, though. They support NATO and Genocide Joe. They have a xenophobic imperialist politics.

Starmer wishes Thatcher was still alive so he could kiss her feet.

I actually do imagine the reason the west haven’t assassinated him is probably, to some extent, that Putin is taking steps to ensure Zelenskyy’s personal safety.

But that’s not even the real sides. If you want to look into it, the actual two components of liberalism are low Right-Wing Authoritarianism and high Social Dominance Orientation.

The “philosophical” argument is essentially that liberals are all cuddly and feel-good because they’re not right-wing authoritarians, but social dominance means stomping on others to elevate yourself because you believe you can and deserve to. Ironically enough, it fits quite neatly with fascism, especially fascist leadership, which is why liberals and fascists always make such good friends.

But the main implication here is that, in truth, liberals have always been the bad guys and always will be. Things like racism, misogyny, queerphobia may not be required elements of their worldview, but they are so helpful for getting a leg up over others that they inevitably feel they must have the freedom to practice them anyway; and in that sense, neoliberal economics and hate are inextricable.

They’re probably extra mad because he saluted for the USSR anthem.

“Trump approved the bombing campaign in early 2024”

Biden was secretly Trump in a skinsuit? I knew it!

Taiwan trying to compete with Britain for “island that licks the most American boots” award.

It’s entirely possible to mitigate both drought and flood, both hot and cold. It just takes more effort so most governments (and even individuals) don’t bother.

I actually do think Putin would assassinate Zelensky if that would accomplish anything for him, and that he doesn’t want the war to end before he’s secured everything of relevance in the Ukraine. However, he doesn’t actually stand to gain anything from Zelensky’s death, as the man is a replaceable figurehead and has gotten in the way (of fascist factions) more than his potential replacements might.

It would make sense if the more densely populated areas of U.S.A. had good infrastructure but even those mostly don’t.

China is actually slightly bigger than America as far as land area. America is only bigger (and even then only slightly) if you include claimed bodies of water.

It’s the paradox of wanting Linux to be widely supported but not wanting it to become a walled garden experience. The average consumer is not keen on “different” and “complex” and designing all of Linux around the preferences of those average consumers would mean sacrificing the advanced features and customisation power users enjoy.

Arch is not dumb shit and recommending it to beginners is fine if they are curious and want to learn about stuff.

Recommending Arch to people who just want a working machine is silly, and stuff like Gentoo is kind of dumb shit.

But if you want a simple “it just works” distro you should probably be using Mint or Pop! or similar, and avoiding trying to do anything unnecessarily advanced unless you are cool with reading manuals and so on.

It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be good enough that the U.S. fail to penetrate it.

And I’d instead argue that hoping for a perfect defense is more reasonable than hoping for Americans to do the right, or even sensible, thing.

I’m aware that that is the realistic concern, but if we’re talking about hopes I’d prefer the less realistic, no-casualty scenario that would prove a point.

Bro literally using far-right thinktanks as sources, so probably.

So I take it the aging population and low birth rate in Japan is hard proof that the United States is genociding them?

Serial murderer-rapists tend to be staunch American allies.

Found the nvidia shill, I guess.
