The Great MAGA/Linux conspiracy

My god, but these people are truly insane.

It boggles the mind that outfits run by such nutbars have such staying power. Its quite disturbing.

This reminded me of the, “accuse others of what you are doing,” part of collectivism. At this point, if people are falling for that, good riddance.

It’s just so retarded. That’s why you can’t ignore the political slant of a project completely. If a person does not understand the difference between male and female, how can said person run a technical project in a competent and innovative way? The project will eventually reach a point of non-viability. At this point, they are just riding on the shoulders of the men who came before them.

I gotta say MAGA Linux does have a certain ring too it :rofl:

This was absolutely hilarious, especially when they were like if you don’t assimulate wayland and systemd, then we’re talking about you :smiley: … Having said that, it’s really hard not to start in on RedHat here, but I won’t.

I am somewhat reminded of that great libertarian conspiracy:

That evil plot to take over the world and then leave everybody alone.

MAGA Linux, Trump Edition. That would be the longer term between updates.

Really make their heads throb in total pain.

Then there could be a MAGA Linux, Elon Musk Edition, the one where all the testing happens.

I am hoping right now that someone does this, either real or as something to find its way into the Babylon Bee, just to watch train wrecks of San Bernardino proportions among the Leftoids.

I think some firearm related distros are in order.

30-30 Marlin Linux. 45 Colt Linux, and some slim editions, like 9mm Linux.

Because fuck them.

Just watch what you say. There could be some of those Leftoids that see your post and jump to their illogical conclusion:

Anything with a gun name equates to a gun of some sort. And we know how they believe a gun is able to get up all by itself, load itself, and start shooting, per Chicago gun control laws that always seem to fail spectacularly. They will conclude any gun Linux distro will magically download itself, install itself on their hardware, take over, and start shooting at them through the display.

Especially if it gets named AR-15 Linux or AK-47 Linux. Because in their limited lack of reality world, AR stands for “Automatic Rifle” and AK is an “Automatic Killer.” “You can’t make this stuff up,” as the old heads always told me at the truck stop.

Urban Assault Linux? Wasn’t Urban Assault an old MS-DOS game?

I think this qualifies as precedent set by Microsoft. Therefore, nobody should have any problems with Urban Assault Linux.

If you add batteries, some circuits, IC chips, software, and a touchscreen, does it qualify as a communications device? If it does, you just invented a loophole in states with unconstitutional gun control laws.

BTW, how many “anti-systemd” distros are there? I’m asking because the RedHat person (?) Lunduke was quoting was attacking them - so I guess calling them “Maga”

(around 2:30 2:40 in the vid)

I’m not aware of any that I would say are even remotely “centrist” on a US political scale.

Antix anyone?

That is incredibly astute. Also, antiX rules as a project, from a technical perspective.

I don’t know how things are in Arizona, but here in the Chicago five counties, you are either a Trump supporter and keep your head down low, unless among friends you know. Or you are a rabid anti-American, “we need more gun control laws because the current laws are not working” anti-Second Amendment, “I want to kill Trump now!”, “wokeness and gender confusion rule!” type psycho. I have been screamed at because of the color of my pickup truck, which is 10 sizes too large for their limited mental capacity and offends them because it is not a “proper” color, whatever that is. Are they offended by certain farm equipment manufacturers for using the same “wrong color?”

You are correct. There are no “centrists” in the country. But there are a few ultra-libertarians who are offended right now because they are not getting everything they demand as fast as they demand it. They remind me of the rabid religious types when everything doesn’t fit their latest agenda scheme, so they take their frustrations out on those least responsible for their insecurities and failings. Blame everyone else for your problems rather than look in the mirror to see the source.

What I find funny is how my neighbors from Poland are more MAGA than most Trump supporters. More hard-working than most MAGA, too. They have learned to keep their heads down, who they can talk with, and who must be avoided at all costs.

Excellent artwork. I can’t do anything even remotely close. I guess I spent too many years converting B-splines and NURBS into code for three axis CNC machining centers.

The only anti-systemd distro that I can think of is Devuan, which is a non-woke fork of Debian and uses alternative choices to systemd. Lunduke mentioned it some months ago when he made his anti-woke distro video.

I did find a list of distros that don’t use systemd (scroll to near the bottom):

Depends on where you are. In some areas anything “trump” is verboten. And we have plenty of the “Look! a Tesla! Let’s burn it!” types. I’ve had many a campaign sign stolen from my yard. And there are pockets of lunacy in otherwise solid areas.

Tucson and Flagstaff tend to be the most “leftist”. And in both cases, the universities tend to play an outsized role in the areas. And there have been a fair number of people moving in from California.

The real reason AZ isn’t “redder” really comes down to the GOP “establishment”; which makes up about 30% of the republican party here. Basically the “John McCain Wing”. Very globalist, love illegal immigration (numbers drive down wages, being illegal creates a defacto slave class), love the various H1 & J1 visa programs to flood the labor market at the white collar level (numbers drive down wages, being tied to a specific employer-visa creates another defacto slave serf class), crave the approval of the media/left, etc. They will actively campaign and vote for democrats if the republican candidate isn’t in their group.

As far as they are concerned “they” are smart and savvy enough to avoid the negative consequences. Think the aristocracy at the end of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 1780s and 1790s.

Projection is the most common mental illness in the world.

Yup

Oh and the artwork? Not mine. I found that floating around on the net somewhere/when and liked it so I grabbed it. I can’t draw a straight line with a T-square and Autocad.

Thanks for the link too. I didn’t know about almost any of them antix, mx, and devuan were really the only ones.

And to give you an idea, antix (which really is a great little distro) is run by a guy using the handle “anticapitalista” :grin:
