Communist

tbh if you don’t plan on modifying your system much, you shouldn’t go with either, an immutable distro is pretty much unbreakable and is rapidly becoming the modern standard for a reason.

Try out bazzite, i highly recommend it.

I have never seen .ml people engage in genocide apologia. They’re fond of authoritarian governments which I find distasteful, but they aren’t pro-genocide.

Your problem is that when people argue against rational self-interest, they’re arguing against what ayn rand meant by it… because she coined the term and defined it, and as she defined it, it’s really stupid.

You’re just talking about rational self interest the phrase, which has nothing to do with her ideology, and is not what is ever being criticized… because again she is the inventor of the ideology.

This is akin to if you argued with a communist, saying communism is obviously wrong because you don’t like particular communities such as terrorists and commun-ism means belief that all communities are good. This is technically a correct interpretation of the etymology, but is not what anyone means when they refer to communism. You’ve completely redefined the term that has already been defined by a particular person who coined it, because you prefer to use the etymological definition rather than the definition created by the inventor of the term. You are then arguing that people using the term as it was defined by it’s creator are using it wrong, even though there is a particular history associated with this term and people are referring to that history. Why do you believe that the historical value of the term is less important than it’s etymology? If we follow this structure, most meaning will fall completely apart.

for example, the word meaning, mean-ing, without the history that binds us in our communication that could mean the process of being mean, there’s no reason this doesn’t work etymologically, but we have history with these terms that make them have meaning beyond their etymology.

Do you believe ayn rand believed in rational self-interest?

If so, why was she against all forms of welfare and socialism? If not, isn’t she the inventor of the concept and thus the arbiter of what it should mean? Doesn’t that mean you’re changing the definition to suit your needs?

Maybe out of the box, but with classicshell 8 was better

He won the popular vote…

Nah, I have ulterior motives, the more people on linux, the more support linux gets, the easier it is to move people to linux, the more support it gets…

And I can’t stand using windows.

If you send me a message on matrix or a dm here I can help you with that unlimited no strings attached, I have over 10 years of experience and am very free!

Oh no, you’re still wrong about that, you letting fascists win is absolutely benefiting fascists. You refusing to accept that has required you to make insane leaps of mental gymnastics. I just gave up because no amount of logic can reach you.

Why does it matter, actually?

Not fighting trump is also bad. You’re letting fascists take over by not fighting trump.

You’re helping trump by not helping kamala.

If someone is running from someone with a knife, and you see which way they went, and the guy with the knife asks you which way they went, you should mislead that person. Anything else, and you’re also at fault.

Not helping them win and not fighting against them ultimately mean you’re benefitting them.

If nazis were up for election, and you didn’t fight against them, you would be at fault for not fighting against them. You can twist words all you want, but it’s not going to change the fact that not fighting against them is your choice and that benefits them.

You could’ve fought them, you agree that they’re worse, but you didn’t, so, you’ve benefitted them. They want you to do exactly what you’re doing.

But it is not correct to say that it benefits Trump without that qualification.

The problem is that in the real world that qualification exists. There is no escaping it.

You’re letting the water evaporate… which is no different.

You’re letting trump have better odds.

You are being purposely obtuse in pretending otherwise.

Your inaction will benefit trump. End of story.

If you don’t vote for kamala, and you support kamala more, you are helping trump.

There are three options:

1. +1 kamala
2. 0 kamala
3. +1 trump, which we will consider -1 for the purposes of this demonstration

Rank them by which benefits trump the most, and you discover that +1 for kamala is better for kamala and worse for trump.

The fact that you cannot understand this is insane. Your inaction is still a choice that benefits the party you least support, because if you had voted for the party you don’t least support, you’d be benefitting the party you support.

Even by your own example, not turning the water on will cause the pool to evaporate, which is not as bad as directly draining it, but still causing it to drain more than if you had done something to benefit it. Your inaction has consequences.

You are failing to take an opportunity to increase Kamala’s chances and decrease Trump’s

that is literally the exact same thing. By not increasing kamalas chances, you have increased trumps chances.

I do not understand how you are confused by this. At this point I have to just accept that there is just something wrong with your brain.

Neither an increase nor a decrease.

how do you not understand that neither an increase or a decrease, when there are two choices, is equivalent to a neutral vote, and therefore you are increasing the odds of the side that you don’t want to win, than if you had voted for the side you do want to win.

How is this so complex for you? I am genuinely baffled.

and the same is a lower chance for the candidate you prefer than if you had voted for them.

How are you confused by this???

if you vote for kamala

+1 chance for kamala

if you do not vote

+0 chance for kamala

If trump is an option, and you didn’t increase the chance for kamala, you have increased the chance for trump

Yes, the same, which is WORSE for the candidate you prefer.
