The answer given in the spoiler tag is not quite correct!

Crime is up in Trump's immediate vicinity because he keeps committing crimes and surrounding himself with people who commit crimes on his behalf.

But that's a sampling error. Most of the country is not as crime-ridden as wherever he goes.

The suggestion is "don't link to Nazi sites".

Try text.

Even in a home poker game, it is not possible for all the players to go home having made a profit, whereas that is very possible in the stock market due to growth, labor, and natural resources.

(The coal miner who gets a wage and black lung is not a player in the stock market. Neither is the sun, which provides free energy to agribusiness.)

In gambling, the house always wins, by extracting value from the players. In stock trading, the players (capitalists) collectively always win, by extracting value from labor, technological growth, and natural resources. These are not the same picture.

Sure, you can take on as much risk as you like using derivatives, and emulate a gambler using the stock market as a source of randomness (volatility). But that's not how most traders behave, and it's not how most traders' payoffs work.

If someone doesn’t understand the difference between swearing at and swearing around, that’s a shitty environment.

In one of my better workplaces, the expression was "you can cuss the hardware, you can cuss the software, but don't cuss your teammate."

As the article mentions, Red Hat is IBM.

For what it's worth, getting in the habit of making excuses for one's use is part of alcoholism.

Everybody get up, it's time to slam now

Abject prostration to fascism will not save you, and tankies are fascists.

The Democrats have been a solidly center-right party for decades. JFK wasn't a leftist! Today, the party has a small left wing, the DSA, represented by people like AOC; but the mainstream of the party remains solidly right-of-center. Democrats support big business, private land ownership, free trade, wage labor, and the rest of the center-right consensus.

The Republicans, however, drifted from "a little bit right of the Democrats" to "for-real fascist" over the course of the Reagan, Bush, Cheney¹, and Trump administrations. Today, the leader of the Republicans is a Hitler fan.

So, as usual, the first-past-the-post voting system sucks utter ass ... but Americans today have a choice between a center-right president and a Nazi president.

¹ Yes, the Cheney administration. Nobody believes Bush Jr. was actually calling the shots.

And yet a dump rump is still worse.

I blame Likud.

Accelerationism aims at putting fascists into power; thus it is a species of fascism.

SLS and Yggdrasil came out in '92; Slackware in '93; Red Hat in '95.

The Debian project started in '93, but the first stable release wasn't until '96, along with Linux kernel version 2.0.

Ubuntu didn't come along until 2004.

Third, I know you’re just trying to troll, but we generally use anti-semetic to refer to anti-jewish.

More specifically, "antisemitism" comes from the German Antisemitismus which was popularized as a more technical-sounding euphemism for Judenhass (Jew-hate). It never meant "antipathy towards Semitic-language speakers".

The people who proudly called themselves antisemites, and formed the Antisemiten-Liga (Antisemites League) did not target Arabs, Ethiopians, or other speakers of the Semitic language family; they targeted Jews.
