Hypocrite that you are, for you trust the chemicals in your brain to tell you they are chemicals. All knowledge is ultimately based on that which we cannot prove. Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?

@PepeDogood @ErikTelford @instapundit @Heminator @EWErickson @jonfavs "Republicans blamed Democrats for shooting people in the streets, but now they're doing it too!" It's called a war response. Go change your diaper.

@ErikTelford @instapundit @Heminator @EWErickson @jonfavs I love when conservatives pretend like cancel culture was a terrible stain (except when they’re doing it) We’re a country of useful idiot bolshevik puppets….doesnt even matter what party you think you belong to, lol

Just so we’re clear on Favreau’s position here — a 17 year-old tweet is disqualifying for public office, but a Nazi SS tattoo is not.

Replacing the judiciary branch with a version that specifically agrees with your policies is certainly not something a fascist would do, right?

@dianne2177 @attackdogX Exactly. "Social Security isn't welfare!" they cry, but then they give imported strangers full SS benefits. Reagan was right.

This is also why we should fight tooth & nail to reduce & remove as much public services & programmes as possible, privatise everything, let people keep the money they earn and then they can decide how & where to spend their money. The social contract is no longer fit for purpose and the longer we keep free stuff going from the NHS to education the more we are paying for home grown spongers & strangers to live in our country

In 454 schools across England, white British children make up less than 2% of the school population. In 72 schools across England, there is not a single white British child in attendance. This is ethnic cleansing on a devastating scale.

Nothing says fascism like demanding that your house not burned down because of government incompetence

Starship launch next week!

@gwennelsonuk @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet strawman: "forcing you into the unpaid vi and gcc labour camp" real reason: I worry about myself and other people being compelled or disenfranchised by political partisans out to benefit themselves. A lot.

@somercet1 @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet Of course I highly doubt that a Linux distro was "infiltrated by communists" and suspect that the accusation of communism is actually just a dumb insult that doesn't really make sense. Nobody is forcing you into the unpaid vi and gcc labour camp, right?

In response to my previous thread asking about the feasibility of switching to Arch, several people recommended NixOS instead. That's not going to happen, and I'm sad about it. Because technically I'm extremely attracted to the Nix model. How could I not like declarative system specification with guaranteed safe rollback? That would be ideal. As an old Lisp-head, I probably would have opted for the Guix variant that uses Guile/Scheme as an extension language. Unfortunately, I have a friend who was a long time NixOS user who bailed out last year. He's given me a detailed and hair-raising report on why. I'll get back to that. He says the design of NixOS is very Eric-shaped. He knows how much I like substituting declarative specifications driving simple engines for ad-hoc procedural logic (see for example loccount), and NixOS do be like that. Unfortunately, he also says the NixOS developer community has become dysfunctional and insane. By his account, the woke mind virus took hold, drove away a lot of capable people, and addled the brains of most of those who remained. That's why he bailed out. I have no reason to disbelieve him about this. It's a movie I've seen before. He has a secondary technical criticism that Nix has a bad case of not invented here and builds a lot of bespoke machinery that would be unnecessary if it were willing to take full use of Linux's native namespace and containerization hooks. But they want to be fully portable to things like *BSD, so that hasn't happened. The technical choice is defensible, and could be fixed. The mind-rot in the developer community probably isn't fixable. All you can usually do in cases like that is ignore the project and let it die. So, no NixOS for me. Dammit. Communists ruin everything they touch.

@gwennelsonuk @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet Are you a feminist?

@gwennelsonuk @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet "but I equally hate all the antiwoke nonsense" Compelled speech, re-education camps, cancel culture... what's not to love??

@somercet1 @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet I also literally founded two companies before I hit 25, so believe me when I say I really really really don't like the whole "queer people are commies" thing, but I equally hate all the antiwoke nonsense too. And I'm going to stop this rant here.

@gwennelsonuk @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet BritGuv: "Give us your money and we'll give you free healthcare!" BritGuv: "No, not that kind!" you: "I'm so lucky I have enough money left over for private, elective healthcare!" me: "Now imagine if you just hadn't given them your money to begin with..."

@somercet1 @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet I myself have private business AND the British NHS together to thank for my transition - and without the private business I'd have suffered for way way longer than I did, almost a decade in fact if I wasn't able to privately get diagnosis and HRT.

@gwennelsonuk @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet "Compelled speech isn't Communism!" Of course not, just as gun control and mass graves aren't Communist, they just show up a lot under Communism. "Asked for your pronouns." Why do you compel people to give you their medical information?

@somercet1 @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet And no, having a code of conduct that basically says "don't be a bigoted asshole" or being asked to give your pronouns and respect other devs is not in fact the same as forced redistribution of wealth or slave labour. It is not in fact anything like communism.

@gwennelsonuk @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet Imagine FOSS in the Soviet Union. Committees ruling on "bourgeois" and "reactionary" code. Jőrg Schilling arrested for continuing to use Latin-1 instead of Soviet Unicode. Forking is treason. FOSS exists only under capitalism.

@somercet1 @OkamaKichigai @esrtweet Oh, and to be clear - I'm not a commie, I was being sarcastic above - but it is pretty obvious why someone who believes in that philosophy would naturally believe in communal software production too.

The answer may be here. Legal challenge halts Canadian, U.S. and U.K. release of book critical of Chinese Communist Party Globe and Mail by Robert Fife That said it all. The hands of the Chinese Communist Party were going on the offence. The 48 Group Club a China friendly group of former UK ambassadors and Prime Ministers were embarrassed by their connections to a Club founded by key members of the Chinese Communist Party of Britain who's chair Stephen Perry suggested that China's approach to world order and rule was superior to democracy and the UK should embrace them. a.co/d/0ihRiH6z

The entire Canadian media whose biggest funding source is the Canadian government is pumping Carney’s tires. They don’t dare say a bad word about him. Tax payer dollars being used to fund a media is clearly not a good thing for Canadians. Someday we’ll all wake up in a tent and understand that.

@FoodProfessor Sterner and Carney are cut from the same traitorous cloth. They are all about globalist agendas with declining economies in their own countries while boosting other economies. They are screwing their own people in favour of Islamist values.

@FoodProfessor They are closely tied, listen to Starmer's last speech! "Dangerous and Divided World"
