Im just constantly shocked how many people will come out of the wood work to defend people with Nazi beliefs when you just include one thing they did within society.

Like a post about DHH being a Nazi feels like it would get no traffic, but say “the creator of Omarchy, DHH, is a nazi” and ya I guess the libertarians poor out of the background noise to shout about how someone who made something can’t be bad? Like why pretend you’re a libertarian if you’re actually just a fascist conservative who wishes racist policies were better for the economy. It’s cosplaying an enlightened conservative while remaining true to the core identity which is make everything worse for everyone at every opportunity.

Then go read DHH’s blog before you defend a guy with Nazi beliefs dude. Are you seriously responding everywhere in this thread and you’re happy to call MAGA fascists but not DHH?! He’s talking about the exact same political hate speech. “Migrants are bad, we need a strong leader, free speech is dying (but actually my only examples are racists and homophobes getting arrested for disturbing the peace)(explicitly not the Palestine speech arrests)” like not a single word about the ultra rich destroying his country and culture. Not a single word about valuing people who don’t look like him. Not a single positive thing that would tell someone “oh this isn’t a boilerplate nazi”. He is nationalist, he is racist, he is afraid, and he is too stupid to point to the source of the problem that every country in the world is facing right now.

And you’re defending him. A guy with nazi beliefs. Online, where everyone can write a note next to your username and go “defends Nazi’s”. And you’re saying you haven’t even read his blog?!

DHH explicitly calls for a strong leader and that they must be followed. I read ONE of his blog posts to verify he’s what everyone is saying he is, and ya in plain English he was parroting the same racist, racist, authoritarian bullshit every sad loser who refuses to go to therapy is spouting. Literally break bread with a black person, get offline and read a book written by a famous dead marginalized person (like Frankenstein or something it’s not hard to find an applicable and enjoyable book), and realize poor immigrants can’t afford the housing in London and then think about why housing everyone is getting more expensive AND the world has a trillionaire.

It’s really not very hard to draw the correct connections vs the wrong one.

I can’t imagine someone hearing racist beliefs and then defending them as just opinions someone can have. Like that’s fuckin crazy. Corporate media has done such a number on people they can’t even recognize the swastika on their fuckin arm.

About which part bud? Use your words. Which part of DHH’s blogs do you agree with and which do you think people are saying is racist and fascist but aren’t?

If you’re gonna defend Nazi beliefs, defend them.

This article was way too positively biased towards corporate buyouts. Anyone with a brain knows they enshittify the companies long-term in exchange for short-term profits.

If our lives are getting worse in Germany, these corporations are partially why.

All business should be owner by their workers.

This article didn’t discuss the consequences for the employer. Are there any? Shouldn’t they be investigated for illegal labor? They seem like the actual villains of the story and yet nothing was mentioned.

I think a slow death and a fast death are still deaths, and with conservatives it’s measured in decades not centuries. At the societal level, every year of misconduct and poor management - which is the definition of a conservative government - a percentage of all people suffer more or die faster. We rob people of their lives by letting any bad solution exist.

We as a society do not have to choose between bad or worse. We can educate, we can organize, we can make change. We as a people can have a better future for Germany, not just one that “could be worse”. Tax wealth not work, vote progressive, demand a better life for you and your kids, and educate and empower your neighbors and loved ones and coworkers.

I would be thrilled to get a progressive government back in control before the conservatives drain our finances further and strip our quality of life any more.

Please Germans, as someone who can’t yet vote, help us be a better country so I can be proud of my neighbors and not worry about our future.

I hope for the sake of German workers that they get over 50% soon. Die Linke is the only one I saw pose a wealth tax, and I hope Die Grün and the SPD can do more good than harm towards the working class that we can avoid anymore CDU and AFD involvement.

Right, rent is theft from the poorer person to the wealthier person because it can never improve their situation compared to a mortgage. It’s a system which only serves to redistribute wealth faster and faster as the system slowly accelerates that imbalance.

Renting should be reserved for a niche scenario of temporary housing while a person moves somewhere or temporarily visits and the entire housing system should be reworked so ownership of the place you live is simple and standard. Landlords should be an extremely rare service in a well-functioning, humanist society.

Buddy, I don’t know if you’ve been living under a rock but everything a venture capitalist touches is enshittifying. You think any of these companies you’re reading headlines about are suffering to keep their doors open? When google locks down android or X starts including ads in Grok they’re doing it to keep the lights on? You think if Bitwarden started cutting free services and charging more the average employee is going to get a proportional raise to the new profits?

No. We’re not upset because we dont understand that a company needs to make money. We’re upset because we have basic pattern recognition skills and we understand the nature of late stage capitalism on wealth inequality (at least intuitively). This (likely) isn’t some smart business person coming in to balance the books, this is (likely) some rich asshole whose job is to kill the golden goose and sell it for parts before anyone catches on that you need it alive to produce eggs.

I love reading that we’re in favor of a wealth tax. I love that were in favor of paying into the pension system and broader reform.

We as a country should prioritize eliminating millionaires over 20+ million (id even prefer lower) and making housing not an investment. The following effects will be universally beneficial and will maintain Germany’s quality society and reverse any decline.

Cheaper higher quality housing, more infrastructure, less corrupt political systems, and a better standard of living for everyone. We must only remove conservatives from power, or centralists in general, and work to progress society to a better future together before we allow conservatives to duplicate what is being done in America and what has happened in Europe in the past.

Merz and the CDU (and the FDP and AFD) would rather bankrupt the country, destroy our retirement, remove our healthcare, and ruin the future of this country than tax the rich and solve wealth inequality.

Ya, I think the information around arch’s difficulty is still rubber banding slowly. It hasn’t caught up with the times tbh. I run into some issues infrequently but like so did I on Windows. It’s also almost always proportional to how much I mess with the system. My mom could run Arch today if she wanted to.

I swapped over early last year, so I’m getting close to passing your one year qualifier, but I’d say it’s been fantastic.

My main concern was stability and gaming. I’m on pure Arch and it’s been completely stable. I haven’t done any deep configuration except for trying to make my yubikey my sudo password and I did not do that well so I had to roll that change back. So in my opinion, nearly anyone can set up Arch if they have a good guide, treat it like a normal computer, and keep it working for at least a year without almost any issue.

Gaming has also been nearly perfect. There’s been a handful of games I couldn’t play for one reason or another. Battlefield had anti-cheat issues, but tbh I would only have gotten it to play with a friend and I’m happy to not give that company money. Robocop was the most recent game that was struggling despite being platinum. I’ll try again later and I assume it’ll be better. I think the only other one I can remember is the Marathon Beta, which is a bummer but again I’m okay if they decide to never turn on the Linux support (because I think their anti-cheat is Linux compatible they just haven’t done the work yet) because I don’t think Bungie deserves my money.

So ya, id recommend Linux for nearly anyone.

I just swapped from proton to mailbox.org and I considered tuta heavily.

I chose mailbox over tuta because:

• tuta didn’t allow third party clients like thunderbird. Given I jumped to proton from Gmail and now mailbox from proton, I wanted to decouple as many systems as possible if I had to jump again.
• mailbox, if I’m remembering correctly, had better encryption properties except for their calendar. Tuta has an encrypted calendar, and now I’m looking into a self-hosted calendar system.

I think I would still recommend tuta to like my mother or something because it’s very clean and easy to set up and good enough. I’d recommend mailbox.org as a slightly harder alternative if you care about your calendar being encrypted.

This is the number one thing I would bring up tk the question “do we need more users”. We need more users if we want more niche communities, and I want more niche communities without having to post.

What my country has done is despicable and should be condemned. I didn’t expect a spine from Merz. He’s proven to be a spineless danger to the German population.

I need to work on my German so I can understand the statement with its original intent, but justifying the attack against another nation in anyway is inexcusable.
