Expand your definition. It’s Authoritarianism you should really be afraid of.

When someone has their jackboot on your neck, what does it matter if it’s left or right?

Rule 1: Authoritarian shitcunts get the rope

Rule 2: Be excellent to each other (with the exception of rule 1)

Rule 3: Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms is now a store

Isn’t hard real time in the kernel now?

God damn it I just had to delete a four paragraph answer

It’s more correctly known as “received English”, old chap.

I didn’t know what I was doing so I chose at random.

Really good question, and it’s one of several potential problems with Libertarianism.

So, at face value, you’re right - you do. But then, you can also form organisations within your community to do the same. So then your whole village or street enforces the NAP.

Besides which, it’s not really about other people, it’s about you.

I won’t hurt you or nick your stuff.

I don’t.

I don’t need fear porn in my life.

I’d say they’ll become niche. I don’t think it will go away though.

I will always use fountain pens and paper until I die, and I think there are enough people out there who will do the same to keep a much reduced industry going.

They’re the main reasons, yes, but there are plenty others .

I’m a good old fashioned NAP following libertarian/anarchist.

I don’t really care about the left or right paradigm - what I care about is how badly you and your cronies are going to buttfuck us.

Thinks… Well, one side generally annoy me more than the other side.

I can generally be around right wingers longer than left wingers and traditionally the right have been more tolerant of libertarians like myself, so I guess maybe.

Friends don’t let friends use Red Shat.

First of all, good conversation. I’m enjoying it.

I’ve been around almost five decades, and I can say without a doubt that yes, there are and have always been divisions in society, but not this segregation into hate camps that exists now. Not on this scale - previously, only extremists would be so disconnected from society. Now, we drive them into their safe spaces.

Even milquetoast blue and red flag wavers are shooting each other regularly where before there would be some mild eye-rolling, and this coincided with the rise of social media, which, as you say, has always been segregated.

Understanding and moderation comes with only one thing - compassionate discourse. You can’t do that if you block ban entire segments of the community.

Did you read the article I linked? What are your thoughts?

I use it for desktops and servers. It’s rock solid, small (compared to Linux) and performant.

I wouldn’t use it if you like to run windows games or software, and sometimes hardware support can be sketchy. I’ve been lucky.

Try it out.

You just triggered my PTSD

Actually experiencing racism in Japan.

If you’re a white dude in a white country, you don’t have any idea what it’s like. My incident was super minor (being denied access to a restaurant) but it gave me a teeny peek into what life must be like for some people.

I run about an equal number of Slackware and FreeBSD boxen.

Oh, fuck that. I’m so tired of that shit.

I’m not pro- or anti- either side, but the_donald were dicks.
