Better to be on your own than live under the thumb.

Ok, dad.

I agree, to some significant extent. But I don’t agree with the suppression of violence, here. Rather, it should be channeled into the ranks of said organized alternatives.

…but if there are no organized alternatives, and someone loses their shit, they should do a little research and aim at the most egregious lawnreakers first.

The casus belli argument might be meaningful if they weren’t already bellicose, and actively pursuing violence. So go hide in a corner.

that said, I don’t advocate violence yet (until, perhaps, an actual dictatorship is established and election terms are violated). It’s still a situation that has potential to be resolved internally, with law, come the elections this year - if there’s meaningful action by the representation.

However, if someone loses their shit, I argue that they should do their homework and go for the most dire of lawbreakers first.

don’t pretend your mind doesn’t work well enough to comprehend what I’m saying.

The specific violence is highly contextual. And it’s wise to be light on specifics, but for historical examples you can look up the history of German and Austrian resistance fighters in Germany during and prior to world war 2 if you like. Efforts both peaceful and violent had an impact and contributed to the allied victory.

A good example would be finding specific individuals who have broken the law and killed people, but who have avoided any legal repercussion, and ensuring that there is a repercussion.

It’s definitely not an action that should be taken wildly, or while on tilt. but we’re approaching the point of needing that kind of action.

they did. It was called World War 2.

this is the argument that caused people to permit the Nazis.

bless your heart.

yeah, seriously a great trait. …in some people.

Savage!

savage!

me too, but mainly due to “on” rather than “in”.

…I’d also replace “at least” with “possibly”.

this is how things work, and some people seem incapable of understanding that.

You exercise a given power, and it gives others justification to use power in the same way. Laws be damned, the motivation is there.

The Gnome overview is simple enough to use that people think there’s nothing to it.

I’ve never had a better tool for interacting with apps, and I’ve worked with a lot of tools / DEs. There are some that are arguably more fun, or that clearly give better customization options.

…but just being a clean tool that works, provides what you need, looks good doing so, and gets out of your way? Gnome, hands down.

thanks! You’ve satisfied my curiosity, and piqued my interest in MX Linux.

I wasn’t asking for “proof”, I was asking for curiosity.
