It's like that feeling on the diving board before you jump in the pool without knowing how warm or cold the water is. I'm still afraid of getting wet, if you know what I mean.

Your comparing people who want trans rights and universal healthcare to people who want to shoot pregnant women in the back of the head and load their children into ovens and gas chambers.

It's the definitian of the Hobbesean "right", that human nature is monstrous, beastly and war-like, and that we need to rely on a "better few" to monopolize violence to keep everyone in order. They don't believe that people are capable of self-governance because they don't do it themselves. The Rousseau "left" believe that we're egalitarian by nature, and that we're innately good in small populations but have naturally strayed from our egalitarian origins because of civilization. Anarchists understand that both of these are incorrect.

Not the lefitsts fault that Nazis suck.

"First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me"

• Pastor Martin Niemöller - Initially an antisemitic Nazi supporter, his views changed when he was imprisoned in a concentration camp for speaking out against Nazi control of churches.

It's much easier on Windows. When it's just as is easy if not easier to do on Linux is the day I switch without hesitation. I'm far too setup and comfortable with Windows, I'm a pleb I know but it is what it is.

If you want those mindless online shooter games who slobber all over that absolutely useless anticheat software, then stay on windows honestly.

But i'm currently on Windows and I don't play those games. What I want is an alternative that I don't have to jump through hoops and follow a recipe just to boot up games, and have access to modding tools that most if not all are only built for Windows.

Holy shit that's a lot just to be able to play a game. Is there any hope of Linux becoming more user friendly and streamlined?

There isn't just mindless online slobber shooters on Windows, y'know. Those same shooters exist on Linux too.

"I was just following orders." Those who's comforts are maintained by tyranny, and don't want to lose the comfort provided by tyranny to stand up against it, are directly enabling tyranny. Tyrants wouldn't last if not for the complacent "enlightened" centrist who thinks the balanced and sensible perspective is to "Keep Calm and Carry On." "At least they're not going after me!" says those who's loyalty has been bought by tyrants out of fear. The same kind of people who think the ones who fight tyrants are "terrorists."

You need to convince them the Earth is a sphere first.

Imagine being Grimes and fucking that guy.
