No you’re not. You’re just a sad boi.

Thanks for asking bro, here are a few tips:

• try to avoid the Hitlergruß next time you’re on stage
• don’t randomly fire people who do a good job just because you don’t understand what they do
• don’t piggyback on neurodiversity as an excuse for asshole behavior
• try to sincerely say sorry to someone at least once in your life. It feels good and makes you more human!
• go to therapy if you need it, there is no shame in it

Also, at the end of the day, all forms of hurting someone are also physical.

Well, in the end he did physically hurt someone

You can probably afford the “Yacht Simulator VR” though

Different base population, different set of candidates, different election. Apples and oranges. In comparison, French elections have a sort of “primary” (the actual election) with a follow-up between the two strongest candidates across parties about who becomes the president. The odds there sometimes look quite different from the first round. I mentioned Sanders here because I remembered something fishy was going on during the primaries in 2016 which took Sanders off the board, despite a decent support. But Wikipedia suggests that might have been a Russian spin against Clinton? Hard to tell.

Anyway, my broader point is that you can’t run triangulation politics against fascists. This doesn’t work and political scientists have been pretty clear about that for a long time. Hence both Clinton and Biden were pretty short-sighted and weak strategic choices. The democratic party didn’t stand for anything in the past decade, apart from “not the orange guy”. There needs to be a visionary, authentic alternative people can identify with. I’m not sure such a thing can meaningfully develop top-down from inside the political establishment. I have no solution.

As an outside observer, I think a certain Mr. Sanders could have provided a decent alternative candidate but the democrats decided against him (in a not very democratic way IIRC). Instead, they opted for the flawed political triangulation tactic and took a right politics drift, to their own peril.

Apart from all the other bullshit rightfully called out below, this makes an illogical implication. Being the smart autistic superbrain Melon claims to be, it’s surprising he doesn’t see that. Or maybe not, because in reality he’s just a sad ass who is too scared of just going to therapy.

If: Not being capable of violence => Not being able to call yourself peaceful

Then: Being able to call yourself peaceful => Being capable of violence

But not: Being capable of violence => Being able to call yourself peaceful

Let me put this differently:

You’re standing at a lever that can influence the direction of the shrapnel. If you do nothing, 5 people will get hit with bowling ball shrapnel and 1 person with marble shrapnel. If you pull the lever, 5 people will get hit with marble shrapnel and 1 person with bowling ball shrapnel.

What do you do?

Would you rather get hit by bowling ball shrapnel or marble shrapnel?

What happens if you shoot them against each other with the same momentum?

What does lil’ Swasteelon have to do with it, though?

Ah yes, great post in the year 2010 when thinkpads weren’t complete crap, yet.

Ah, thanks for the reminder! As a happy systemd user I sometimes forget how stubbornly resentful some people in the Linux community are that they still try to keep this up as a topic. Then again, maybe this is just a troll?
