Here's a similar perspective: as a vegetarian, seeing advertisement selling meat is good: it means the animal exploitation industry is struggling and needs to promote their "product" which need nearly no advertising for years if not decades.

It's very similar here: the advertising (in the form of putting it where you can't miss it, in the tools you use everyday) is trying to convince you to use something many people are apparently just not that interested in.

There are no biological races in humanity. Nothing that can be compared to dogs for instance. On top of that "white" as a biological marker to define a group makes as much sense as "tall" or "small hands", ie: none.

We humans are pretty varied lot, people have wanted to create categories for ages and have done so, but those are social categories.

Absolutely this. This is crucial to resisting fascism in its various forms: dehumanising is an extremely dangerous slope and used to prepare people to accept unacceptable things.

TERFs are people. Nazis are people. Murderers and rapists are people. Fans of Asmongold are people.

It may be hard to accept, and tempting to dehumanise, but please don't.

I'm sorry, what, a balanced and informed answer? Surely you must be joking!

I was mostly nodding along to your post until the "kill with gratitude and understanding": what? how does one do that? Who do you apply that to?

Yeah, that's unfathomable from a European perspective.

This is depressingly accurate.

That's a pretty brutal takedown, made all the better by the fact it's well written and provides a sound technical analysis.

Neither, it's apparently a set of not very good bash scripts to configure Arch to use Hyprland and a few apps marketed as a "professional" distro.

Low effort trolling. 1/5
