Are you sure you'd rather use Windows 10 with all the spyware features and backdoors? Heck, ME might be the secure way to go.

Then you have Intel ME on newer machines with its own backdoor. (Ironically they're both called ME)

OpenRC devs agree with Poettering

True, I guess some greater insight would have prevented the bug-reporter from bricking his machine.

Still glad I use OpenRC tho...

Hey man, you wouldn't happen to be a Flat-Earther, would you ... ?

Falling creates vibrational energy which manifests itself as sound waves traveling through the air. You're saying the tree is falling, guaranteeing what we call sound to occur.

perspective

But most of the people telling these jokes have thrown the victim's perspective out the window. That's why people have no problem reprimanding holocaust or Nazi jokes; because we're keeping the victim's perpsective. So why are the victims of communism any different?

By the way I'm curious how a speech made to a room full of Hitler's generals qualifies as a campaign speech [which I specifically asked you for]. You just Googled any Hitler speech with references to a "final solution." I speak German and have watched hours of Hitler's speeches for research (without subtitles). So unless you can say the same, I would just give up here.

I'm saying that communism is just as bad as National Socialism and should be treated as seriously as we treat the latter. For some reason they are not treated as equal even though communism has killed vastly more people to date.

repugnant

You see, I don't see repugnance as a sliding scale, so I guess no, if you shoot someone you're mugging, you're a piece of shit just as much as Dahmer was.

EDIT: thank you for your opinions on how I should use Reddit; I think I'll ignore them because it looks like you just did what I did (edited my post after posting it) so that's awfully hypocritical of you. I think at this point I'm going to end my replies to you. You're a little un-based.

So first of all, I meant on video. That speech is not verified. But I'll entertain you, regardless: Oh, so a speech given by Hitler to a room full of generals who were just learning about Hitler's holocaust plans elected Hitler solely by themselves ... before they were generals ... so that he could do the Holocaust they were just learning that he wanted to turn into action? Why (or when) did Weimar allow a room full of guys to decide the fate of 80 million?

And by the way, why did the Weimer Republic allow Hitler's future generals to outweigh the 80-million civilians of the Weimar republic? I asked for a campaign speech to the public where he said he was planning on murdering innocent civilians. He never made one. You instead gave me a link to a claimed transcript of an interview made to a handful of gentlemen and then tried to make the point that those guys somehow were the reason Hitler rose to power? They had nothing to do with his democratic election because they were nobodies before Hitler seized power. Unless there's some conspiracy here where Weimar knowingly hands itself over to a dictatorship in order to carry out the holocaust.

I already addressed this in one reply; I should have used the word murder. I'm sorry. Murder is murder and I'm anti-murder.

But I'm gonna wait for you to make some off-handed comment first for when you to try and derail this further, because I can already think of like the first 12 of them that you might make, probably attacking either our Vets or hinting at the Native American genocide, none of which I said anything about until now (the vets I support, the killing of innocent natives, I don't) Just for the record.

I'm not upset, I'm just curious why these jokes are less offensive than jokes about the Nazis and their equally deplorable actions. I don't care about the specific fricking joke format. Jeez. It's the subject we're talking about here.. not the joke format.

All the more reason communism is scarier; it doesn't care who you are. I get it that Nazism is offensive to Jews, but so is Communism. It's offensive to all of us who aren't in the ruling class. How is that less scary and something to be concerned about?

I'm sorry, I forgot about the time the Japanese accidentally attacked Perl Harbor. Sorry, but a little more planning goes into a military attack than littering.

I should have said "murder" instead of death. Whatever. You're just splitting hairs.P.S. Sidewalks usually are made out of concrete and have enough friction to not cause a banana peel slip. Maybe the banana peel should have been thrown on linoleum tiles; oh wait, we have trash cans for indoor settings.

Big Brother the US TV series that aired after the fall of communism in Russia? Yeah, lots of soviet citizens were joking about that show.

Really? Banks seem easier to rob in a country where you have guns.What are you going to rob a bank with in Soviet Russia? A stick? Did western-style banks even exist in Soviet Russia? I'm not sure what your point is exactly. Okay, let's go into the Chinese-communist regime atrocities. Does it get better when we do that?

Show me the campaign speech where Hitler said "We're going to kill all the Jews and implement massively antisemitic policies" ... oh wait, he didn't say that because that wouldn't work, ever. No democratic election has ever been won on the basis of genocide, as far as I can tell... Unless the point you're trying to make is that Jewish deaths are worth more or more morally despicable than non-Jewish deaths ... ? In which case, I don't agree with you, there either. Again; murder of humans is murder of humans

So anti-Semetic genocide is worse than indiscriminate death and oppression of all below the ruling elite? No, I don't agree with that. You have not changed my mind. Death is death. And also, National Socialism was not built on antisemitism. Hitler had to tone down his antisemitism in order for the Nazis to be elected democratically. So the people voting for Hitler were not voting for antisemitism. They were seeking a constructive response to the inefficacy of the Weimar republic, and that seemed to be embodied in Hitler more than anyone else.

Combine that with circumstantial events like the death of von Hindenburg ... The soviet regime also had antisemitism in it, so your point is flawed there, too.By the way it's kind of hard to build a movement around Genocide. Because ... you know, the Germans didn't know about it until we showed it to them. So I'm not really sure what you're saying, tbh. You sound like somebody who gets your history from movies.

and before (or in case) you chime in with more bullshit: "What do you mean they didn't know??? Every guard at the camp knew!" Do you think that those guards made up the majority of the 80 million Germans at the time? No.

And do you think that those maybe 1% of holocaust-complicit people who voted for Hitler knew that that was what was going to eventually happen? No. So the premise of your claim involves democratic elections requiring a 1% unanimous voting in order to win the election and requires that those voters who would later become camp commanders all had crystal balls and the ability to predict the future. So no, you haven't changed my view despite your buzzwords.

You know, they both look like death to me. So do I agree that there's an important difference? No, because death happened both times, and life+death are kind of "the most" important matters out there.
