Nothing like free software

Far many more than someone.

Thanks for the suggestion.

While not a novel, Mattias Desmet’s The Psychology Of Totalitarianism’s also a good read to be aware of such things.

… Also, frighteningly, Edward Bernays’ Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923) (and Propaganda (1928)), to learn from the monster’s mouth, what inspired Hitler’s Mein Kampf (1925), and many other psyops put upon us.

Also even contrast Marx, to the anarchist writings of e.g. Mikhail Bakunin who said “We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality”, to see how Marx usurped the words (like “communism”) and philosophies of anarchists, to hand them over to the tankies and totalitarians.

As relates to the original post, perhaps we, the people, can yet end up with the “girl” of a good system (or lack of system), even after it being perverted to something that hates us while she’s with someone else (… the pedovore aristocratic satanists).

Can still mend this.

Pretty sure it’s like that. ;)

“I shall not bullshit you with compliments.” and have it be true.

Largely true, though I think $ is a secondary consideration to some of the genocidal eugenicists, fundamentalists, supremacists, jingoist hegemons, etc.

Ask for elaboration on the reasoning.

May find something to help your own growth, enabling turning around from contributing to degeneracy in the world.

[And/]Or may find out its grime on their lens, and more truth in their three fingers pointing back.

R.

Because defy being hemmed in by the linear scale.

Spaceships for everybody.

Troubling, given how much the put-up-or-hack-up users-are-developers ethos having slipped as more and more come in enjoying the convenience wrapping, with their consumer mentality.

That is amusing if BSD do that. Being from there.

Them being armed will make it a lot more thrilling when you persist in asking them under what conditions are you lawfully obligated to comply.

War is good for business?

Yep.

Plenty bad reasons though.

Mostly around abuse of the vulnerable, data-mining, advertising/marketing/psyops/publicrelations, pedophilia, pedovoria, disempowerment, indoctrination, dumbing-down, wealth extraction maximisation, profiling, voter suppression, gerrymandering, insurance scams, etc.

Still struggling to conceive of even a single good reason…

… So it helps us detect the crooked politicians who would vote for such a thing?

If only all those agents hadn’t told us to not use the political compass, we might be less lost now. :3

Ahhh. Neo-liberal.

Gotta love that Orwellian marketing.

Neo-liberal. Neither new (neo), nor liberal.

Basically, same old fascist.

Yup.

Welcome to newspeak, USA-flavor.

Still drinking hair of the dog to nurse the McCarthyian redscare hangover.

Layers deep into the newspeak. Liberal, conservative, democrat… all these terms already many contortions and inversions distanced from original meaning. Soon, even “him”, “he” and “himself” too. Then even “is” and “not”, and then the CIA’s work will be done.

Armed thugs of the state break into every home, and install their bigbrotherware operating system, and kill anyone who flinches like they might be committing any acts of dissidence. There we go. Everybody happy. And of course, you wont own the software. You’ll be renting it. Like everything else. Own nothing, be happy. Maybe they care. :/

I wonder if that “this distro is not allowed in California” approach is even compatible with the various free software licenses.
