From an already uncomfortable capitalism to an even less comfortable one, one that might be recognised as hostile by some.

Fascism is capitalist.

IIRC pretty divided, but he is an old darling of the left. He is looked at romantically.

Btw, these groups were doing self defence against fascist groups. That is in some sense violent because the Nazis they’re combating are blindly violent to anyone they feel they can oppress. The choice is simple: tolerate surgical interventions against Nazis, or let these local Nazi groups run you over and then some.

I’m sorry, this is a braindead take.

the fascist police is supported by the fascist Merz government who are at the behest of >30% of Germans (who, I might add, are even more fascist.)

The first mistake was going to a local business. #fsmallbusiness

I heard a kid got killed by police. These will be decisive weeks.

You are a disgusting piece of shit. The bourgeois view of life is so ingrained in you that you even suggest to make a buck off of pure depravity.

Your answer does not follow since I did not say that compiling is what makes people knowledgeable. Gentoo isn’t merely compiling. Binpkg repos exist and suffice for a lot of users.

Gentoo is unique in that it explicitly gives you maximum freedom in designing your experience, at the same time it implicitly forces you to learn since there is no straight forward process of installing the OS and designing/tweaking your setup later on. If you mess up, you can’t just simply do a reinstall or go back any other way willy nilly (in most cases), you have to do the software equivalent of an open heart surgery. Going from Debian to Gentoo has a lot of friction associated with it.

Portage makes you read updates, and is very clear about issues. At every turn in Gentoo there are opportunities to learn. This comes at the expense of comfort, but it pays in other ways. You are better off understanding Gentoo as an exercise in minimalism.

Just as your initial assumption does not follow, neither does your suggestion that I’m implying users of other distros and OSes can’t become knowledgeable.

Have you ever even tried Gentoo or invested time to understand it?

I am sorry, I am an outsider, I believe it needs to be said very clearly what the US has been doing. It’s the most obvious thing, and for its obviousness it doesn’t get talked about at all because all fundamental critique is blended into constructive criticism that’s meant to improve and prolong the system instead of abolish it.

Yes, not all Israelis are “bad”, but most Israelis support the expansionist projects, just like most Americans have a very screwed up sense of nationalism, even some of the leftists (who’ll believe in the supposed forwadness of both the American revolution and the genocidal campaign that was manifest destiny.) I don’t “hate” US Americans, I simply am frustrated with the bullshit.

The US has such an odd social structure and a dependence on cheap imports. You wouldn’t be remissed to call it the landlord of the world because that is evident even in the behaviour of the slightly better off to well off US Americans who are able to travel the world.

Gentoo is one of those distros that actually gets people to learn about their compuers, and as someoneelse has said the wiki is great. tmk a few innovations from the Gentoo “ecosystem” like features of init systems make it into other distros, similar to Arch.

one of the the most important distros. wtf

Stirnerite banger!!

The US was a mistake. So much about the country is hideous and vain. I genuinely instinctively trust people from Canada and Mexico more because I’ve had genuinely terrible interactions with US Americans on pretty regular basis. What people say about Israeli tourists holds true for Americans as well, the world has been forced to accept what the US has done to other places as morally good somehow.

This era is ending and I say to hell with the devil that is the American state

“I love terrorising the populace” —Him maybe

Gentoo.

This can be said about Ukraine since Ukraine does not have nuclear weapons. USA and Iran has a similar dynamic with empty threats. The “Western” block of Europe has two states armed with nukes however and NATO which has the US as a member. This is a significant qualitative difference. So either it’s: Russia won’t actually attack because MAD is recognised or Putin is a madman.

The middle of the road approach would be to understand the very real danger of military escalation and threat of nuclear war and then demilitarise to lower the explosiveness of inevitable infractions during periods of heightened tensions.

The insane approach would be to increase militarism. Major military spending is perversely useful though because it caulks over crisis by stimulating the economy without redistributing wealth or creating level playing fields as would be the case with educational spending. Russia itself is a good example of this. By doing things this way you are signalling to your opponent (Russia in the case of the EU) that the game is on.

RIP world. War between Europe and Russia means nuclear war.

are you serious?
