Classically speaking we’d have to wade through centuries of imperialistic mental gymnastics and dogma, wouldn’t we?

Naturalism is inherently anti-secular, not in ideal, but in effect. It’s not a question of what people believe, but actual outcomes.

And it’s not just “the right wing”, it’s all liberals. Neo, centrists, moderates, socially conservative liberals. Yes, I’m saying liberalism is right wing and has always been right wing, but years of propaganda makes it seem like there’s a difference. There isn’t. It’s not an illusion of choice, it’s the delusion of choice.

But I guess that doesn’t match with populare definition either.

The idea behind naturalism from a political perspective is everything works from natural preset, that all things will remain natural, from markets, to industry, to the running of government. Unfortunately it has a tendency to breed hierarchies, “meritocracy” and dominance as a form of natural selection. It’s the foundational reasoning of nationalists, tankies and the old Catholic church, albeit “under god”, not to mention racists. Us versus them, enemy mentality, it’s all weaponised pack instinct.

I feel Humanism is juxtaposed to this, because it focuses on the possibility of humanity through the individual. It’s not being humanitarian, as that stems from altruism.

Humanism from a political level poses that society and the individual must create environments conducive of bringing out the best in everyone and to generally create humanized environments as a base necessity. Like for instance a prison system that gives prisoners each their rooms and bathrooms, or a schools that meet the needs of students, or even national funding of religious organisations from a cultural perspective, like Mosques and Churches.

To put it bluntly, Martin Luther King Jr is a humanist icon and humanism is the foundational philosophic model of Nordic countries such as Norway. It’s even written into the Norwegian constitution as a foundational tradgional value.

However, naturalism becomes normalised if you’re at war, or when facing a major existential opressor like with CRT in the US, during economic collapse, etc. Then it becomes almost unavoidable and understandable even. But it’s still the core philosophy of authoritarianism and is something people have been trying to get away from for millennia.

TL;Dr the simple mind has a simple world. However, as a socialist libertarian (yes, we exist, we read Marx AND Adam Smith - imagine that) I can’t let this slide. Let’s hope the commenter has reading comprehension.

The biggest ignorance of most socialists and indeed communists is the idea that capitalism is a political system. It is not. That is basically part of the brain rot in the liberals mind as well. “oh, don’t go left, because then you’ll destroy capitalism”.

Well, what if I’m a libertarian socialist, or even an anarchist, who has an understanding that the political system is allowing a form of capitalism that is predatory and exploitative by way of law, as well as imperialistic and nationaliatic fervour?

Anyone who believes that a “free market” is an unregulated market is an idiot, and that said regulation should happen from the bottom up - and not the top down, that the centralisation of ownership is not because of the capitalist system, but that degeneracy and delusion put on a pedestal that allows for a form of capitalism that is inherently naturalistic, predatory and an aristocrats wet dream.

This is done through the philosophy of naturalism, a philosophy juxtaposed to humanism, and the favourite amongst liberals, nationalists, monarchs, communists, etc. Its basically giving into the pack instinct and mob mentality, formalised in emperors new clothing - or the pope’s new hat. Y’know, meritocracy. Naturalists are the best at being degenerate and in denial of it. Shout outs to every “protestant” in the Republican party, the anti-christ dirtbags.

The problem is if you asked anyone to define capitalism, most people would fail horribly. Doesn’t matter if they are for or against, you get talking points and party brainrot vomited on your like it’s a Saturday in Surry. So let me explain it to you as simply as possible.

Capitalism is a system where we virtualised ownership or property as a form of valuing said property automatically, instead of employing appraisers everywhere - because said appraisers might lie and put your economy into the shitter, we created a system where property can easily - and quickly - moved around assets.

This is why China is so good at capitalism, as well as nationalism and whatever form of communism they have, because they’ve proven that these things don’t need to be mutually exclusive. But westerners point at the thing they don’t like, and then blame that, as Xi Jinping plays 3D chess, above and beyond your paygrade, and above and beyond the IQ level of western liberals - which is somewhere above being able to open a door.

It’s not a political system, it’s not a judicial system, and it never was. That’s the big brain rot, the big conjob, that and the fact that the liberals will always claim there’s only one form of capitalism - which again, China has thuroughly disproved. It’s literally just usury, but applied to property rather than currency. It’s a tool, a double edged sword, which in it’s current, centralised form fosters dialectal matetialism - yeeeey Marx & Engels.

In essence, people ignore the actual systems, the conditioning through law and community that may foster the brainrot to say “rip it all down”. Most of these tankies want to see the world burn, and it shows.

But what if I told you that you could regulate some of it though a public tax record? What if no politician, business, or special interests could hide the chain of money, a chain used to hide the bag, a chain necessary in the capitalist system? Again, not legal system, not financial system, not even economic system, but another overlay in the mix.

How about we take it even further? How about all public spending, even if through private contracts, must be publicly disclosed, or else the leadership of the parties, government bodies or companies behind them - despite not being “directly involved” - tried for high treason… because incompetency should be tried as treason.

In any case, anyone stupid enough to want to depose capitalism, asks only for another form of centralised usury to replace it - like what the USSR tried, and miserably failed at. But at the end of the day, the western world needs to wake up to the fact that capitalism is centrally controlled because we allow it to be.

And that is the real problem. Some strong man, some cult like party, some sycophantic circle jerk, wether on the right on the left, that will inevitably fail their people, because their priorities amounted to “these people bad, we must destroy these people, baceuse monkey go smash”.

I reject all naturalism, for I am a humanist, and reject the idea that capitalism - not socialism - is the problem of anything. Both are scapegoats. You need the individual, you need the community, you need the collective. They are not mutually exclusive, but judging from two centuries of “is vs them” mixed together with enlightenment theories has lead us down a path of intellectual suicide.

Don’t come here with that bullshit, because then I’ll reject you like I reject centrists, moderates, conservative, social democrats or any of the other liberal rebrandings, let alone tankies and “rip the system down” imbeciles who have blood on the tooth.

I reject all of that, because for thousands of years, naturalism has reigned. It’s time for humanism to take it’s rightful place, and that rejects all political ideologies and forces you to actually think - which people don’t like to do.

So I expect thuroughly that you have not read this far, and even if you did, I expect packaged talking points returned from your favourite political denomination, a denomination I’ve categorically rejected in this text.

I wish you well.

This kind of pisses me off, because it proves lefties won’t really go hard regarding organisation or in regards the ballots, unless an existential threat pops it’s head out.

Like we see nationalist populism on the rise in Europe, as as an alternative to the limp dick, mainstay, do nothing, “austerity measure solves everything” approach of those sycophantic, weasley bootlickers known as “the liberals” - i.e, the Tories, Renaissance (Macron), Tusk’s party, and come to think of it: every other liberal leading party in Europe, whose been controlling narrative and economy for over half a century.

The EU has been saying that we can’t have a race to the bottom like we’ve been doing, but make no mistake: the liberals want that more than anything. It’s why these “free market” exploiters have been relying on wage slavery in China since the 50s, in effect propping up an authoritarian regime to save a buck - and now they’re complaining about it.

Who exported all manufacturing to communist China? The liberals. Who propped up Putins nationalistic build-up to rebuild the Russian Empire? Fucking liberals. Who keeps blaming foreigners for their own incompetence and stupidity? Conservatives… also known as socially conservative liberals.

Even the word “liberal” or “liberalism” is fake, because it’s not about people’s freedom or rights, but how to install a private aristocracy free from the reproach of the people.

In essence, liberalism is a lie and liberals are delusional.

Damn, these rpm-ostree distroes are taking off. I mean tbf, having a “cloud native” approach (a two buzzword combo) with system images is kind of great for testing, and it shows people can now actually carve out some systems in a relatively effective manner. Good show!

That is supposing it is rpm-ostree, because ostree can actually rebase to an entire different distribution. There’s people getting arch working as an ostree install, and eventually, we’ll have gone over to a new dawn, where you don’t need to reinstall, just rebase.

Goddamn open source is awesome.

Friggin’ GIMP 2 is sun setting. GIMP 3 with everything replaced in GEGL and non-distructive editing is the new standard. Who tf needs Photoshop?

Nexus is the goat. I mean I hate their pay-to-skip model, which basically means if you want to install a collection of say 600 mods… because yes, then you’re stuck pressing a button over and over, unless… You pay for a monthly subscription, that you don’t need to renew.

Basically you’re paying for a one time convenience. I mean I understand, it’s not that easy to demand pay for someone else’s work, but server space and network traffic costs money. So, yeah…

Pay for the 1 month, or click a lot. At least you got options.

This person, nay, this legend, has reached across language barriers and opened up entire new worlds to people who suffer from lacking or outdated documentation.

If you or your loved ones are afflicted by bad documentation, please voice your grievances to whatever ticket or email chain deserves to be told their documentation is absolute ass.

Yes, I can read the code API, now delete that old ass mess. If you don’t want to communicate it, let someone else have those search engine results.

Ffs.

De fleste Russere undergraver hva som skjer, fordi vist ikkje, så hører man tung banking på døren, rett før man blir sendt til gulagen.

I går gikk enda en artist, ut av hundre, ut mot den russiske regjeringen, og vipps: fengsel.

This is what corporate speech control looks like, kids. Not even once.

Beware conservative governments. They pussyfoot with nationalists, fascists - and worst of all - lobbyists, the backstabbers of democracy.

Hideo Kojima is not real, he cannot hurt you… Only emotionally.

Become hipsters, play Majong and Solitaire exclusively, absolutely overrun Twitch with it

Ah yes, DRM… burn it down, burn it all down

Poor Russians get the front lines, rich Russians get a new vacation home… why did they get rid of the Tzar again?

Hopefully rpm-ostree is just the beginning. When SuSE Mint, Zorin, etc have some form of ostree tooling, then it’s over for you bitches, and by it being over for you bitches, i mean the need to do a full system reinstall will be over because you bitches can just rebase.

It truly will be the evolution of distro hopping, codifying a “of fuck, GO BACK” function by way of image handling, rather than barfing your operating system file system hierarchy on to your root partition like some caveman.

The future… is OCI images and layering, like in containers, because cloud native containers is the way - for the desktop… no, seriously. Stop laughing.

Biden 2024 - wear an union around your belt

And actual slavery.

The RISC-V is an extensible ISA, so yes. All those vendor extensions are optional, when fabricating the processor, which can be replaced by other extensions over time.

Both Intel and AMD have had vendor extensions in the designs that they no longer use, even ones that have been “retracted” (i.e whatever in the heck Intel is doing with their AVX extensions).

But yeah, currently, there are a lot of proprietary extensions, which could still be declared as open hardware as well. So yeah.

Damn… welcome to the Slavic region, I guess.

If there’s a consolation price, at least you’re not Roma - or as they’re so “warmly” called, “the gypsies”. They have snow 0% rights, especially in Romania, the country that has fucked the Roma people a thousand times over.

European racism is so fucking old world that it’s not even nazi. Nazism is relatively fresh and young. This is old European imperialism.
