Ahh the usa. Where if you are at the mercy of the courts who descided that multible federal offenses and attempted coup are A-OK since you can't prosecute someone in power.

Communism proved that in death camps you are guranteed work until the day you die.

It's just typical americans thinking every democracy is run like their little dystopia.

You borrow money from the country who takes it from every taxable entity in it so that everybody can get educated, become less of a burden for the social system, improve the lives of everyone on the country and not make dumb posts on the internet.

I got banned for replacing radical lefts unhinged mass murdering posts key targets with those of radical light to drive home a point that they're unhinged. Don't get why reddit protects hate speech and calls for mass murders that have consistently led to the largest genocides in the world.

I had a similiar tale. I just started programming course in uni and took the OS class where we interacted with servers a ton through bash. Then I realized I spend so much time mucking around in the myriad of control panels and regedit of windows to get basic things functioning and to diagnose constant BSODs that I might as well go to linux. Turned out linux is the experience windows markets itself as: easy and streamlined. It is just a lot less work than on the windows side once you get used to how linux does things differently. Overall experience has been smoother, workflow has been nicer and all my BT stuff and audio equipment works with less errors and bugs, while not requiring ANY installs. Once I got past the errors that windows would also get if you set up your BIOS and filesystems for linux, it has been smooth sailing on my nvidia gpu even. Only issue is jittery VR that I haven't bothered to look into as I simrace on my monitor now.

As a farewell gift, windows 11 bricked my fedora boot thumbdrive. Twice.

with a de facto totalitarian who attempted a coup at the helm, americans will finally understand for the first time what it means to be "free". It will be like pulling out a rotten tooth: painful but it will get better. Once the civil war that is required to get trump out of office in 10 years is finished.

Surely 100 dollars out of your yearly taxes to start a pointless war on two fronts is better than 20 cents out of your yearly taxes to stop the greatest threat to human rights, ability for people to self govern and peace in europe against an enemy who has been interfering in everyones internal politics and threatening everyone with nukes constantly.

Once you look at russias nuclear incident history and realize how poorly maintained they have been for decades thanks to remote location and poor red army military culture, you kind of stop worrying about these sort of things.
