Better politics.

The same way getting stabbed is better than taking a round of buckshot.

Okay so geography is my second worst subject, but I’m about 60% sure that’s not real.

I’ve been vassilating on it for a couple years, actually. I was going to do it when I built a PC (I just had a laptop for college) but then my parents bought one for me while I was in the middle of figuring out what parts to get with my sister’s help. It’s probably my fault for telling them about it around my b.day, tbf. 😂 I used a partitioned system that she helped set up for me 10 years ago or something like that, but I wanted to make one that was just a Linux PC, and for the past few years the idea of installing Linux on my current computer just never occurred to me because my plan became obsolete. The brain is a funny thing.

Have you considered that you don’t know me?

This is the final nail in the coffin for me. My next PC is going to be a Linux machine.

Anyone who understands what tankies are, and doesn’t Bash them, is an idiot, a fascist, or both.

The only problem with the meme is he’s calling tankies leftists.

Tankies aren’t leftists.

Edit: cry more, tankies

What part of refusing to engage with a gish-gallop is difficult to understand?

Let’s talk about one thing: MLs aren’t socialists. And stalinists (the loudest part of Hexbear) definitely aren’t socialists. Capitalism is defined by the employee-employer relationship. MLism enshrines this relationship, and turns the state into a universal employer. That makes MLism a capitalist ideology by definition.

Being a leftist requires one to oppose capitalism.

Leninism is a blatantly capitalist system that pretends otherwise.

Also, they don’t oppose bigotry. Once someone from Hexbear said that Hexbear was more pro-trans than any trans space was, and their fellows seemed to agree with them. Paying lip service to anti-bigotry does not mean one is not an ignorant bigot to the core.

Edit: there are other problems with what you said, but frankly, I’m not going to waste my time addressing every part of the gish-Gallup.

The creeps on Hexbear aren’t leftists. I’ve never come across a coherent and useful definition of “leftist” that includes them.
