I'd love Hitchens, or someone of that caliber, to pull that off in talkshow: just show that picture and say it's not a human. And after the nutters have lost their shits and raged for minutes, reveal that it really is not a human, because, it is an elephant.
There is the plan to remove the X11 gnome session in a coming release. Not sure if it is the next and as far as I know, this will not affect KDE (for now).
I remember a talk show where some Christian minister or priest thought he could attribute western advancement (political, social, science) to Christianity. Because, look at all those Muslim countries and how backwards they are. Which, of course, is complete nonsense. All social, political, and scientific progress in Europe (and by extension the world) was achieved against church resistance. If it was for the church, we would still live in monarchies, without electricity, and only pray for health.
You're making the same fallacy: here (west) good and we have capitalism, there bad and somethingelse. So it must be thanks to capitalism.
No. Capitalism is happy to exploit you in a dictatorship, theocracy, oligarchy, ... Capitalism loves slavery. Capitalism loves monopolies to extract even more money (and by extension undervalued labor) from you. Capitalism loves poverty because it means cheap workforce. Capitalism doesn't give a fuck if you are killed or maimed at a job if replacing you is cheaper than preventing accidents. Capitalism only serves the people with the capital. Everybody else gets fobbed off with peanuts and will happily be sacrificed to the machine if it makes a profit.
Are we better off in a capitalist system than our ancestors three or four generations prior? Yes. Is that thanks to capitalism? No. It is despite capitalism and thanks to the restrictions we put on it. Restrictions which get continuously eroded.
