From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't know how you didn't spot that Trump is a massive racist and just wants to make life shit for people who aren't white and that's all he cares about. When Trump says DEI, he means black people or hispanic people or anyone who isn't white having a job at all. He calls it equality but he means it racist. I don't know how that can have passed you by. Supporting the racist in chief for equality's sake is insane.
I don't care about Trump, it is not my problem, in EU Trump policies are irrelevant.
But Trump is a consequence, not a cause. You people voted for him. Maybe choose better candidate (both sides of course)
And yet here you are, arguing in support of his policies.
You have that really fucked up for two reasons.
No one like me voted for Trump. People like you voted for him then blamed people like me for their reactionary shit.
Yeah, I should find something more productive to do... you are right.
True, but Trump was elected, he do not magically appeared one night. And if Trump was elected, this can mean two things
choose what better suit yourself, because the point is that people voted for him and not that Trump "created" the voters.
If you wanted to win, you should have put against him someone more credible than Kamala Harris who had as only point the fact that she is a black woman: she got less than 1000 votes during the primary elections of her own party, listening to her TV debates it was chilling. Maybe you should care also about all the non $MINORITY_OF_THE_DAY people.
And that assuming that the Democratic voters even went to vote instead of staying at home horrified by what the party did.
Nodoby even voted for Berlusconi, yet somehow he won more than one election, just saying...
The problem is that people like me are the ones that see what happen, do not say anything but in the end vote based on what they see and what candidates say.
Trump was elected because a very significant minority of Americans are racist, and the Republican party have been eroding democracy for decades.
You refuse to acknowledge that trump is the instigator of a whole bunch of racist shit.
No, the problem is that people like you criticise diversity, equality and inclusion and like to pretend that it's discriminatory when it's working against racial inequality and racial discrimination.
Lol. You wrote paragraphs on why you think DEI is bad and then you blamed DEI policies for the election of trump! You're part of the mindless "blame Democrats for everything whether they oppose it or not" crowd and you are incapable of shutting up about how you think DEI and Democrats are wrong.
Anyone who takes trump or his international chums at their word is an idiot.
"you"?!
For someone who claims to be European, you're pretty bad at realising that there are people who don't live in America (including me, in case that persisted in escaping your attention), and you're pretty bad at realising that it's possible to be against racism whilst not being part of the leadership of the Democratic Party of the United States of America.
Not everyone who is anti-racist is in the DNC, and not everyone in the DNC is anti-racist.
I would have thought that was obvious, but then there is a correlation between racism and lower educational attainment.
Then where was the the majority of Americans ? Why they did not vote against someone that seems to be clearly a racist ?
Can not be the case that the opposing party did such a terrible job that people prefer someone else even if it racist since it is seen as the lesser devil ?
I mean, do you really think that normal people would agree that letting BLM (which was a minority) to devastate cities was a good way to earn votes ? Or calling misogynist or nazi everyone do not think like you will earn you votes ?
No, I refuse to acknowledge your cause-effect.
You say that people is racist because Trump won, I am saying that Trump won because people is racist.
Then it is obviously true that Trump find someone who listen to him but that people where there before Trump, do not spawned after Trump.
I criticize forced diversity, I sustain that equality and inclusion means that everyone has the right to try, not the right to succeed.
But let's assume you are right and DEI is the right thing, so why only in cushy c-level jobs ? No way, half of construction workers need to be women or from minority, half of the surgeons need to be women or from minorities, half of every worker in every job need to be women or from minorities. That would be the best diversity, equality and inclusion you could dream of... until you need a surgeon.
Obviously. You assume that DEI is always good, I say that DEI could be good. But forced DEI is always bad. It is obvious that if people are rejected for some DEI policy they will vote for someone who say that they will delete DEI policies.
No, I am saying that Democrats have lost because they demostrated to be even more incompetent than the Republicans.
To be clear, I think that in the last election Republicans did not win because they did everything right but because Democrats did everything wrong, and DEI policies were only one the things they did wrong.
And that is the reason Democrats have lost. Insulting the voters is never a good way to win. And I could say the same about every voters: if you take any politician chums at their word, you are an idiot.
Oh, I realize that. What you do not realize is that criticizing some ideas or policies do not automatically make me a racist I can agree with the spirit of a policy but not agree on how it is executed and I don't think to be a racist for this.
Absolutely not. I claim that trump is the instigator of a whole bunch of racist shit, not that he causes racism. This was the worst straw man argument ever.
More stuff I never said, more assuming that I run the American Democratic Party (despite never having set foot in the USA).
Lol you got triggered and ranted all day because someone disagreed with Trump's interpretation of discrimination. You agree with trump but you don't want to say so because you don't like admitting that you have a lot in common with the stupid racist in chief.
