  • To keep using your metaphor, when you have a severe fever due to an infection, you usually want to treat the fever because although it’s a symptom it can hurt/kill you if left alone.

    Having extremist/neo-nazis/fascist parties participate in the elections and maybe winning them (hello USA) makes it a lot more difficult to treat the root causes. The less space, means and influence they are given, the better.

    This being said, I agree with you that once the dangerous symptom has been treated, we need to treat the root causes or the symptom is going to come back.





  • Macron is a POS.

    This is only the start of his virtue signaling declarations with no intent to follow through to see if polls get good enough for him to re-trigger legislative elections.
    He fired the national representation and triggered legislatives elections in 2024, hoping to gain a better majority but ended up losing to the left.
    He wants to try again, but he had to wait 1 year (because constitution) and that wait period comes to an end… in June.

    Macron has learned a lesson from Trump: reality doesn’t matter. He’s been denying real, established facts and lying like no president before him for a few years now.
    Don’t mistake him for a good guy, he’s just doing a tiny bit better than actual fascists.

    Ps: it’s 2025, maybe we could stop using “having balls” as an expression of courage?


  • Remember the first persons to be harassed, assassinated, detained, sent to concentration camps were german citizen.
    The first who tried to resist Hitler’s power, sabotage infrastructure, retrieve and send confidential informations to the allies were german citizen.
    A lot of germans were the good guys in ww2 (and afterwards for that matter).
    Whatever the conflict, let’s not forget that [country X leadership] is not the same as [country x as a whole].

    Our current government is openly pro-israel and anti-palestinian, we’re not gonna do squat.
    They’ve been calling any criticism towars bibi and any palestinian support antisemitic for the past 2 years - and most of the billionaires-controlled media has happily done the same.
    Even if soldiers are killed, it’s gonna be labeled a communication incident or some shit.





  • AFAIK, arch never pretended to cater to new linux/cli users, I’ve always read it as a recommandation for advanced (or at least comfortable with reading docs and using CLI) users.
    My first time using arch required me following the arch wiki for install and when I finally got a working system (I’m as bad at following tutorials as I am at following cooking recipes) the pacman commands were not something I struggled with.
    But yeah coming from Debian where I had the gloriously intuitive apt syntax, I get your point.
