burn it all down so bad their idiot voters finally feel the pain.

  1. It won't just be "their idiot voters" who feel the pain. It won't even primarily be "their idiot voters" who feel the pain.

  2. "Their idiot voters" will be propagandized to blame the pain they feel on those who are already suffering the worst.

I'm in the same camp. I have home servers that run linux and it works great there, but on the desktop I've run into a surprising amount of stability issues. It's honestly worse than it was 20 years ago in that regard.

They were (I messed up posting and didn't link to the article which explains this)

Hello, I am wondering if I could get a stranger on the internet to let me know if I should use Linux. I just wish more people would literally just say "Use Linux".

It's because the Democrats didn't inflict any consequences on Republicans and used the "let's look to the future and not dwell on the past" framing on it. How can you blame voters for not taking it seriously if Democrats didn't?

Apparently he DID know exactly what it was and defended it as just being a thing people in the army get as of 5 years ago

This is a bit of a nitpick, but he didn't defend the totenkopf. He said SS bolts were common in the military and in his opinion not indicative of nazism. He commented in a thread that mentioned the totenkopf, but his comment was in reply to a message about the punisher skull and didn't mention the totenkopf. It's not inconceivable he didn't read the parts about the totenkopf (though the root of the thread is a mention of it).

It took me way too long to figure out what was wrong with this screenshot

Roberts, between his hatred of fair elections and manipulation of the gullible press that echoed his "balls and strikes" myth making, might be the person most detrimental to US democracy

There is definitely some of that, probably even mostly that, but you'll never convince me Sam Alito is even a middling intellect
