The ol xkcd ass-car.

Yes, and I vote for an anti-car platform.

"Unstable as hell", "breaks for no reasons", "seriously insecure", other distros "work perfectly". I find this kind of uninformed hyperbole tiring, but probably entirely descriptive of your own user journey. Arch is intended for technical users, not "average users" (Whatever that means), and people should not be recommending that their uninitiated friends start their Linux journey there unless they're prepared and capable of providing technical support. I used Fedora and Ubuntu for decades before moving to Arch a few years ago, and I've never loved an OS more than I love this one. But that's my journey.

You can distill it further. Social hierarchy is the template of all these "disasters". The original sin, if you will. These are all just exacerbations of social hierarchy.

I'd say the bicycle easily makes the top 10 of all-time best inventions of humanity.

This bumper sticker is just an edgier version of the "I bought this before Elon went crazy" one.

Kaczynski was a quintessential reactionary ecofascist, no additional qualifier required. But a lot of people have their first encounter with radical social critique in his writings, so absent any further critical theory his direct acts are often categorized as romantic rebellion, rather than the grossly misdirected randomized murders that they were.

It's quite the coincidence that as soon as there was a charismatic (In a way) Harvard grad with a CIA mind-control experiment in his past writing wheat pasted manifestos about technology as the root of all evil while he blew up civilian science researchers, NYTimes - The supposed dignified record of the political center - Was willing to post that shit in full page spread, unsolicited. They didn't do anything of the sort for a certain charismatic alleged green mario, when he identified social class as the blame. It's almost as if social hierarchy wants to skirt blame for it's externalities and instead misdirect it onto scapegoats.

Fuck Kaczynski, read Bookchin.

Uhh remote workers don't go into an office though, that's kind of the definition.

By the time your family immigrated here the US had already been slaving an entire population for over a century, undid all social reconstruction in the wake of the war required to end that slaving, and was just about winding down it's genocide of half a continent's worth of indigenous tribes. If you feel like the US stood for something good back then, what do you think is so different about today?
