It is impressive that you can literally say nothing

No, I think radicalization of a populous is a terrible thing. If you only want to speak on radical politics though, I also believe in it being bad in the majority of cases.

With your logic, I would have to assume you support what is happening to Gaza, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Yemen, basically all invasions, as well as the destruction in the Middle East. Also, if you'd like to apply it to American politics, I would have to assume you support all the radical stances that Republicans are pushing for, and would like the fundamental change of letting Trump be a dictator? You did say that radicalization is the only good thing?

I imagine you really think "radical politics" is only fundamental changes that you like, but that's not how it works.

And again, the initial comment was on radicalization, not radical politics, even though those are mostly a bad thing as well.

So, it seems you have no depth to what you are saying, just copy/paste comments. I thought that had to be the case

That's literally saying nothing on the initial topic, and basing the reply purely on an assumption of what you think I mean by radicalization.

Radicalization doesn't mean reactionary. Is that all you think you are saying when you say "radicalization is the only good thing?"

it is the only good thing

I'd love to hear you dive into this a little more.

Also, no need to explain what you assume I am thinking/conflating. I'd just like to hear actual thoughts from you, with hopefully some depth rather than internet copy/paste-esque comments, rather than what you think I am thinking.

I mean any voluntary, likely anonymous, internet poll is already trash

But here's the YouGov methodology. I was curious

https://today.yougov.com/about/panel-methodology

It's a volunteer poll on the Economist. It's wild how excited people are to believe shit like this and use it to talk shit about other people.

In our poll, the proportion of respondent

A voluntary poll on the Economist, I'd bet? I'd also bet some people were trolling it. It's definitely just clickbait to get people to be cynical of other people again.

Radicalization is a bad thing.

So is extrapolating a volunteer poll on a random website to represent a demographic and using it as a fact to talk down about said demographic. But, par for course nowadays I guess

and without proper statistical method and model, you can claim anything and get a radicalized internet to believe it

iMessage is one of the largest enablers of ostracization and teen bullying

This feels like a strange trivialization of teenage bullying thought up by someone who hasn't been a teenager in a long timr.

Oh yeah, geopolitical is probably a better way to phrase it than "next level".

That I agree with. I just felt like saying "nobody commits atrocities alone" removes some blame from some monsters out there that have done terrible shit.

I agree with the sentiment in context of these "next level" atrocities, for lack of better way to phrase it.

But I disagree with "No one person commits atrocities alone; there must be some backing". Plenty of atrocities have happened because one person decided to be a dickhead

I deleted the last comment since I mixed you up with another name.

You are doing just as I said. Defining sides and creating teams. If you really want to get into this, I will. But can we at least talk about the conversation myself and another person had that you called idiotic, rather than copy/paste internet sentences? It's always the same and doesn't even line up with what we were talking about.

Unless you are a troll/bot/or something .. since your final paragraph really has me questioning.

?

I was just showing one of many examples from the article that the activists weren't "being charged for being attention to deplorable conditions in animal farms" but actual other crimes.

was convicted of two counts of misdemeanor trespass and one count of felony conspiracy to trespass last week

I don't have to run windows, or anything. I can run what I want.

But the people who shoehorn Linux into every conversation are also the ones who spend more time finding acceptance online rather than actually being "friends" with people IRL. Tbh, I have you coined for a stereotype I know and I apologize about that. I can't help it. I just know mfers who talk like you are commenting so my bad if I attach opinions to you, I really don't mean to. That's why I'm trying to ask questions.

But you do not believe social media is manipulated then, and is just a conspiracy theory? I never accused any party of being behind the manipulations and I haven't provided any theoretical motivations. Just wondered if you believed social media is an accurate portrayal of the populations opinions.

Also, mfers try to act superior cause they got Linux, that's why they "get a negative reaction". Look how you are reacting to someone just mentioning the idea of mentioning windows ha!

I agree with the sentiment that we are on a FLOSS platform, so most people are going to prefer Linux.

But the rest of that comment is silly.

Saying anything about Windows/Max doesn't mean the commenter is fanboying.

Also, are you saying you dont believe social media was manipulated to interfere with American politics?

And the last one really cracks me up about making friends. "Aggressively fanboying" Windows or Mac doesn't make you friends, but fanboying Linux does? You and I are definitely in different areas of CS then ha!

I think "fanboying" in general is the actual issue
