Asking for a friend?


Well, this is why I suggested we’d start to eat the rich™ globally.


Yeah, I think that’s mostly it, isn’t it?
Why would it be not the year of the Linux desktop?
For me the year of the Linux desktop has been every year since 2007.
There probably would to be a kernel API to check for anticheat measures. Even then, the OS being FOSS means that you can easily create rootkits, obviously. So secure boot etc will also be a requirement for Linux anticheat.
The real issue is devs not wanting to pay for hosting server side anticheat. I’d much rather have Valve convince them VAC is a good idea than to have them use intrusive anticheat measures or make Linux worse.


Ah, got it. That’s oversimplified. Obviously the money needs to go to education etc, and money isn’t the only instrument of class warfare.


Socialism isn’t taxation under capitalism like you seem to think it is
I never said that.


I didn’t state Switzerland is purely socialist, but that I prefer concordance democracy as a subtype of socialist democracy, which is the prevalent in Switzerland, in contrast to the type of socialism prevalent in China.
Obviously China is consensus based as there is only a single political party. But China does not employ concordance democracy, which I prefer to a single party system.
Can you please also define what “liberal” means to you?


I covered all the usual bases liberals use when declaring China isn’t socialist.
But I’m neither a liberal nor declaring China isn’t doing some kind of socialism. It’s not a socialism I personally like but that’s my preference, I prefer the so called concordance democracy over a party system in general. The only country I know who are doing this often is Switzerland, but they have other issues (like high cost of living and xenophobia/lack of diversity).


Thank you, I see where your definition differs from mine 😊


Yeah, I also got confused by the recommendation of southern Germany in particular based on the mentioned criteria.
Germany is great in many cities in most, if not all of the criteria, but awful in others. I’d specifically try to avoid southern Bavaria (Nürnberg and Bamberg are fine), southern parts of Baden-Württemberg (apart from e.g. Freiburg) and most of Eastern Germany (Leipzig counts as “eastern” but is very progressive, for example).
There’s quite a good overview of the values and issues of most Bundesländer by Brofessor Stein.


Then how do you define imperialism? What criteria need to be met exactly?


But where did I say China and the West are equal? I didn’t even pass any judgement.
You can’t compare whole countries objectively, it always depends on your values and criteria. I just asked for clarification on the initial statements made by Cowbee.


You made the unbacked claim of “Chinese imperialism.” The onus is on you to prove it.
I read all my comments again and no, I didn’t. At least I can’t see where I did. I simply disagreed with your definition of imperialism and noted that the definition I disagree with would fit China aswell. I’m of the opinion neither the EU nor Germany nor China are purely imperialist in my understanding of the word, apart from the aspects I already stated. This is basically an appeal to purity by myself, but I know I’m being pedantic and that’s fine with me.
I never claimed the US wasn’t imperialist, or that China was imperialist, I just disagreed with your initial claim Germany is participating directly in imperialism, while they aren’t, in my opinion. If your opinion differs, that’s fine, but stop trying to misrepresent my actual arguments. 🙄
If we’re going by the burden of proof laying on the initial commenter: the onus is on you to prove what you said initially.
