That song is spot on. They've successfully turned the people against each other to the point where anyone who criticizes the side they picked gets written off as a nazi.

Depends. Unless you're on Ubuntu or Elementary, Flatpak and Snap are optional. When I'm on Arch, btw, I don't bother with any of those and just use the AUR with a helper like yay.

But I find the convenience of Flathub too good to pass up on other distros. I have been using Linux long enough to remember when the only options if your distro didn't ship something were to compile from source or to use a sketchy installer script, because Flatpak didn't exist. And as others mentioned, if you're using a full desktop environment, it likely can update everything at once via the GUI.

Ooh, big text!

Elected Democrat officials in many states shut down small businesses, while declaring big corporations like Walmart and Amazon "essential"

Elected Democrat officials caused people to die of non-covid causes by denying them access to things like Alcoholics Anonymous and other programs to sober up.

Elected Democrat officials hurt development of children with lockdowns lasting more than a year.

Elected Democrats granted exceptions to the covid restrictions of 2020 and 2021 to protests they agreed with while demanding that small businesses and parks stay closed for "social distancing."

Elected officials printed a shit ton of money to bail corporations out for covid and then act like they have no clue why inflation is so bad.

Elected officials put thousands of my unionized brothers and sisters out of work with executive orders.

Elected officials caused domestic violence to skyrocket, mental health to decline, and now they're talking about more lockdowns after promising that anyone getting the vaccines would not spread the virus.

Elected Democrats can't even be bothered to codify things like abortion and gay marriage, but it's always someone else's fault, fodder for the next election cycle.

My point is, neither side actually gives a shit. I agree with most of what you're saying about Republicans, but Democrats just do not give a shit either. They just play the blame game. Nothing will get done because all of these politicians are laughing their way to the bank while everybody else bickers.

First of all, not every conservative is a Trump supporter. Second, there are a number of loud liberals on TikTok who have said things like "cis people need to delete themselves." It goes both ways.

Assuming everybody who votes differently from you or is in the opposing party is exactly the same is just as harmful as taking for granted that everything everybody on your side does or says is 100% correct. This binary view of politics has been exacerbated by social media, and it is doing a lot of harm. Both sides are basically at the point where they're convinced that the other side wants them dead. It's fucking crazy.

I disagree. Too many people take one side or the other, take for granted that their side is 100% correct, and refuse to believe anyone could possibly be center.

Crowder's a piece of shit who doesn't even practice what he preaches.

Spez said they're not killing Old Reddit, but he also said they weren't going to pull an Elon either.

Since deleting my account on July 2, I just don't care enough about Reddit to create a burner account or download their app.

Wow. They want me to install the app to read this.

I'm sure places that are still banning nuclear power aren't helping either.
