Just so you know, nothing of value (you) was lost.

While I understand how you feel, you gotta think about how news gets reported.

Republicans aren’t so far off when they talk about the “liberal news media”. The news reports democrats failings significantly less, or frames it using more neutral language than how republicans are reported.

During bidens presidency I literally never heard anything about deportations, yet he did deport a significant amount of people. More than the amount we’ve seen from trump (so far).

No matter the justifications, the tone, or the methods, deportations still happened, and currently more of them happened under both Biden and Obama than with Trump. People most certainly were hurt and/or killed in that process too.

While I don’t personally uphold them, they’re arguably the easiest of all the “AES” countries to make a case for.

Obama and Biden are allowed to have as many deportations as they want. Infinite deportations. Its only bad because Republicans are doing it.

You said no ubuntu so here’s some debian distros ;) MX linux, Sparkylinux, LMDE, Q4OS

No seriously though, all of those have their fans and in my opinion deserve a look. MX linux has one of the better xfce setups out of the box imo, sparky has lots of cool DE packages, LMDE is mint but better-nt, and Q4OS is one of the few distros that includes an out of the box trinity setup.

You won’t get what you’re asking for, because what you want is windows to not suck, not for Linux to have GUI. Me too tbf.

I started playing around with linux back in the Ubuntu 11.04 days. I was a tween with computers as a hobby and linux repeatedly humbled me and left me troubleshooting for hours. I had fun playing with it but I stayed with Windows on my main PC.

When I finally could not take it anymore in 2021, I started using fedora, which I grew to hate then moved to opensuse, which I grew to hate so I moved to Debian, and I’ve more or less stayed struggling in the Debian sphere since.

I’m a regular person, I don’t code. I can’t even hello world in python without help. I just need my laptop to be able to serve me the slop that I crave. If you’re that person too, you’re just gonna have to suck it up and learn how linux works. Suffer through it. You’ve been using windows probably since you were eating boogers, don’t expect to just pickup linux over night. I moved to linux for political reasons, and I suspect you’re doing so for similar reasons. It doesn’t get easier, you just get better at using Linux.

If you want my suggestion, pick something based on an LTS distro. I like Debian, but I’m sure there is good stuff based on RHEL, SUSE, whatever. People will sit here and tell you how “out of date” Debian is. You’re coming from windows, you probably regularly use software that nobody has maintained since 2009, you don’t care if bonzibuddy.exe got an AI update, you just want to turn computer on, watch youtube, play vidya game. Don’t let user johnthunderfuck69 in r/linux tell you his arch install has never broken in 20 years of using it. He is built different and you are not johnthunderfuck69.

I’ve had good luck with some of the gui tools included in MX Linux, SparkyLinux, and LMDE(mint debian edition). If you look hard enough between those 3 you’ll probably find a big red button that you can click to order pizza to your house.

Choose Cinnamon, XFCE, or KDE as a desktop environment.

You can make criticisms of both. Just actually talk from a place of knowing what you are talking about when you do it.

While I’m not a leftcom, Bordiga is probably one of the more solid critics of Stalin. I disagree with Bordiga’s criticism, but I can track and understand where he was coming from because he very clearly actually did the reading.

What I don’t always respond kindly to, is someone going “14 kajillion dead, worse than hitler, authoritarian”.

Libs politics are in support of capitalism. Put another way, those politics stand in the way of working class liberation. There isn’t a compromise here, we have to drive out all the pro-capitalist notions in the minds of the working class.

Is this meme the propaganda for achieving that? Maybe not. But the sentiment that liberal politics are right wing is correct and you won’t find a single socialist worth their salt who disagrees with that.

We will organize among working class people with backwards ideas and a lack of understanding at times, but we NEVER promote or work with liberal politicians or parties.

You’re more impure than pure if you fail this one.

Facebook is what free’d me of having to interact with my local DSA /hj

Local DSA posts everything on facebook, I don’t have facebook and won’t post my face onto there to make it happen.

I email them but they just tell me check the facebook

I try to join the discord but they want to see me at events first, which I can’t find, because they are posted on the facebook and I can only scroll down 3 posts before I get asked to login.

I give them my number and my signal but they don’t reach out.

🙃

I have actually! I told you to vote 3rd party. Which is what I do. I vote for parties that actually reflect my interests.

And when they don’t win I continue doing what I always do, party work.

And I’m sure the party that keeps winning due to this mindset is going to change the system, I’m sure their corporate donors would allow them to do that.

Definitely. /s

We can achieve a better system, there is nothing so exceptional about the US electoral system, especially the democratic party itself, that we have to confine ourselves to it.

Nobody ever said you can’t vote. Plenty of 3rd parties and independents at all levels.

Trans people have been on the DNC chopping block for a while now. I hate to break that to you, but the Democrats won’t save us.

Your argument boiled down to human nature vibes based politics. (ie bullshit ie nothing to refute)

“It’s not even capitalism”

“rich elite”

So its capitalism.

Hardee’s Frisco. It’s delicious.

Dont hate AI on principle, but we could have waited for an output without a typo. This is pretty weak sauce.
