The solution is to stop bailing out mismanaged companies. Crony capitalism/corporate socialism are scams.

When people of good conscience are forced to support a literal genocide because of how broken our system is…

When people are incapable of understanding nuance...

I pity the rest of you who would choose complacency and the path of least resistance over doing what’s right.

This is some extremist cool-aid stuff right here. I hope you find the care you need.

Associating Joe Biden so closely with genocide demonstrates a lack of capacity for understanding nuance. Supporting Israel doesn't automatically equate to supporting Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza, but it does indicate support for the Israeli (and by extension, Jewish) right to exist. One can simultaneously protest the genocide in Gaza and support a friendly, cooperative Israel.

Sounds like you got your daily dopamine hit. You should probably take a break from social media until you've calmed down.

Let me rewrite this headline:

"Democrats would rather elect a literal Nazi than Joe Biden"

Which is bull, but essentially what the article is saying.

If you won't vote for Biden because of Gaza, you are an ignorant, narrow-minded idiot and you are handing Trump the presidency.

Yeah, UCSC feels like an odd choice. Maybe it's because they've had a lot of union activity there over the past few years.

Yeah, it's not like they need more excuses than they already have to drop insurance plans.

Why does Linux need to be more popular? This isn't some NRM with a proselytizing mandate. Use whichever OS you prefer and let others do the same.

This is an extremely sheltered view. Most people don't even know what an operating system is, and they assume that it is an unalterable component of the computer they purchased at Best Buy. They don't have a last straw because as far as they're concerned there isn't anything they can do about it other than perhaps switching to a Mac.

Yeah, Microsoft is always trying to monetize things that shouldn't be monetized. Linux won't necessarily be easier, but it definitely won't force you to watch ads in your application menu.
