We have this “meritocratic” right wing christian “centrist” relishing in the fact that Debian has gone political & is now struggling because the devs don’t want to work for them.
I was wondering if some of nice people could share your opinions on it, especially on his solutions.
MY OPINION:
“Getting political” in these ways is both useful & a good idea. NO ONE & NO organizational body is neutral. Even just in internal day to day interactions, taking clear political policy like this is one step in preventing an environment from degenerating into one that is toxic & bigoted.<br> This doesn’t even have to be a right vs left issue. No one in their right minds should want to be racist or homophobic or allow an environment that promotes such a culture.
Also, being an open-source supporter & any level of rightwing is self-contradicting. Private property is the cornerstone of capitalist ideology & free software fundamentally twists information property against itself, turning the freed software into a commons. Left wing is far more meritocratic than right wing.
Nothing surprises me since the YouTube distrotube uploaded a video with his rifle saying that “if you support free software you should support gun rights”
When will these people understand that Gun-Control doesn’t mean people won’t be able to own guns
There are plenty of people who openly admit that they don’t want anyone to own guns. Gun control doesn’t have to mean you won’t be able to own guns, but it is a reasonable fear of those who want to own guns that it will mean they can’t.
They don’t really understand anything because they don’t really think. They just repeat what they’re told while convincing themselves its an independent thought that appeared in their head as if by magic. These are the people outsourcing most of their thinking these days to ChatGPT, because it’s not something they’ve ever really valued or been interested in doing themselves. Life’s a lot easier when you don’t have to think about much. They’re “doers” not “thinkers”. And frankly, it shows. We see an awful lot of stuff getting done right now, and very little thinking.
