You see Afghanistan and Kurdistan as successful examples? Damn, you’re deeply unserious person

Well, I wouldn’t say it’s happy to be honest, a life has lost anyway. Not the worst one though, for sure

Oh, I love competency porn! My favourite is Martian, both the book and the movie.

WhatsApp has this weird grip on my country’s people, it’s insane.

Or the ability to write what they mean, it’s one of the two

You’re again thinking of a on-the-ground civil war between a community and an oppressive government. That didn’t work well in the age of steam trains and single shot rifles, it sure as fuck wouldn’t work in the age of satellite tracking and grenade carrying flying drones.
If you have to fight an icetapo agent on the ground, you’re already lost, the only way to win is to create the world where icetapo agents are tried in a fair court, and put in jail for their crimes. Admittedly, it’s hard to do when agents shooting people on the streets, but well, Americans collectively decided to play this encounter on hardmode by willingly and knowingly electing all of that, so what can you do.

Not enough, not quickly enough, and often not in the ways that matters

Yeah, that’s kind of how democracy works. There should be direct and obvious connection between actions that drastic and the will of the people. Starting a war with the government isn’t something that a governor should be able to just do with one order.

Yeah, Walz, why aren’t you personally removing armed state military from the streets? Walz, why didn’t you start a revolution yet, Walz? Too much of a pussy, Walz? I almost stood up from my sofa, that’s how I am angry at you, Walz.

It did at the time, because in fascist countries the only ones who were truly organised and had a plan were fascists, so they overpowered the resistance that couldn’t get their shit together for long enough to combat this new and unprecedented narrative.
Now in new fascist countries, the narrative needs to be combated is old and very precedented, but people that could form resistance groups don’t do that, instead they’re doing the opposite of what needs to be done: sitting around alone in their homes, clutching their handguns, and shitposting on the internet, hoping that when icetapo comes to them, they will heroically shoot them all and save the day.

We didn’t end it by virtue of some random people running around with their guns. It took coordinated effort of many of organisations and governments. Do you understand what I’m saying and why?

So you’d rather assume everyone around you is trolling, than even entertain the possibility that you might be wrong and didn’t actually read correctly what you’re answering to. You can spend 10 seconds to re-read, but you either didn’t do that, or did and still didn’t understand.
It’s not uncommon, but still very depressing to see every time. We should be better. You should be better.

Trully, the levels of reading comprehension I’ve come to expect. Shoot a gun at your screen, maybe that will help you read, I don’t know

we missed the opportunity for polite discussion i’m afraid.

Yeah, that you probably did. So the next logical step is shoot each other, right? Damn, if only I wrote a comment describing this exact thing a while ago, I could just reference it.

USians seem to be pathologicaly blind to everything that doesn’t involve them shooting each other, it’s like some kind of curse you’all have. Nobody can even imagine that there is something between politely talking and a civil war. How are you still alive as a country and individually is a great mystery

It’s the same choice, why else do you think they want civil war so badly?

It’s fun as a hobby, but that requires you to have fun doing it, so yeah.

They’re trying to make it so, but fascists are pathetic little incompetent losers, so it’s possible that they will fail. Slim chance, but it’s the last america has

I’m more embarrassed about my calculator history. I use SpeedCrunch because it’s amazing, but boy does it remind me how stupid I am. 7+14, really?

That’s probably the direct opposite of my experience and an experience of everyone I know.
With Windows problems you do get a lot of very, very long youtube videos that says a lot of things, but unless your problem is trivial, the shit wouldn’t work, and random bat files aren’t working for unexpected problems, or are just viruses. More often then not though, you get a question on Microsoft forum, with one answer asking you to run that windows repair bullshit that never actually solves anything. And then you just accept that it’s not something you can do and move on with your life, thinking that ignoring the problem is actually solving it. Alternatively there is for some reason very expensive program that does what you wanted badly, while using 20% of your machine’s resources, but you’re so exhausted at this point, that you pretend it’s normal.
With Linux you will get snarky answers telling you that you’re an idiot for not reading the error message on your screan (which is, yeah, you are), or that you’re an idiot for not reading the first page of man (which is, yeah, see above), or the most detailed explanation of inner workings of this specific thing that is giving you troubles, and you pretend to understand all of it while just copying and pasting all the random commands from the answer like an idiot that you are. But if you actually want to learn, you just do that, and then your problem is solved and you’re a bit more knowledgeable in the end.
Every time people talk about how Linux community is unhelpful, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. How can I always find help and support no matter how weird and obscure or banal and trivial my problem is, am I special or do people don’t know how to google? I mean, snarky and condescending? Yeah, that happens. But unhelpful? Never in my experience.
