  • Linus Torvalds is not an intelligent person. His argument style is extremely feeble, propped up solely from an ulterior, omnipresent appeal to authority. If he was just another poster, we would handwave his politics and social arguments as utter drivel.

    He created some awesome software. Git, Linux. But the dude should have been kicked out of Linux dev a while ago. He is no longer required, and just runs his mouth constantly.

    Liberals need to make up criticisms of Marxists in order to feel like they’re part of the conversation. Nobody wants to firebomb a Walmart. That’s adventurism and pointless. You made that up and assigned it to Marxists because you’re anticommunist.

    Marxists believe in organizing the working class to defeat the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie we all live under and are being oppressed by, not randomly attacking buildings. Reducing all of leftist theory to “lol they want to firebomb Walmart” is exactly the type of behavior we point to when we call liberal debate idealistic and not rooted in material reality.

    Tl;dr youre a bunch of moronic liberals lashing out in incoherent ways. If you people actually studied Marxism, you could form much more pithy memes that actually offend leftists properly.

    I was born into the US and was a liberal for most of my life. I can explicitly tell you why so many of my countrypeoples defend capitalism:

    Because they have the political education of an infant. You are told from a young age by everyone you trust that communism is bad and you never EVER get told the truth. There is absolutely no grand structure for learning about politics that isn’t reactionary in nature.

    What’s left is an infinitesimal number of people with both the requisite curiosity and social opportunity to break out of liberal thinking. Most people are ingrained and never challenged their entire lives.

    The incentives for supporting capitalism and rejecting communism are powerful and alluring in this country. But it is not an excuse. The books are out there. You absolutely must read.

    How the fuck does not voting for a candidate count as a vote for the other one? Are you hearing yourself? You’re just making shit up.

    Not voting for candidate A doesn’t mean candidate B got a vote in any shade of reality. But somehow, in your liberal hellhole of a psyche, the two actions are seemingly indistinguishable.

    Dumb as hell, it is crazy.
