  • That’s not most people no. That’s a tiny number of people.

    Don’t get me wrong. Making the installation easier is a good thing. But thinking it will change anything to the usage rate of Linux is naive.

    Most people do not install any OS and they will never do. Ever.

    Installing Linux is not hard already. The single barrier is partitioning. Well, at least when everything works. Secure boot is also a barrier, as are bios configured to NOT boot on a USB key by default. Or Windows with its fast boot making accessing the bios and booting on devices harder.

    If you want to consider people who want to try to install Linux without experience, there are a dozen of barriers, and the installer is not the biggest one, far from it.

    If you deny that this meme is disdainful of the “there is a loneliness epidemic” statement, then you’re in bad faith.

    Even if what you’re saying is logically true, that’s not the truth people see, as this thread demonstrates. Which means you’re in bad faith here.

    If you had any education in logic, A => B => C means something.

    When you do this logical development, it means C is the consequence of A.

    The même format also implies that C is a stupid assertion, because it’s associated with the clown figure. It says that the existence of a loneliness epidemic is a stupid proposition.

    This is denying reality. And this is mocking the people who suffer from loneliness.

    The biggest problem is not even the link between incels and loneliness epidemic. It is the denial of the problem. This is litteraly akin to conspiracy theories.

    Except it makes the link with loneliness, which has nothing to do with incels. By doing so, this kind of post litteraly says that alllonely men are like the worst incels.

    It is insulting. And it is directly feeding the narrative of the fascists that says that feminists are mere anti-men instead of pro-equality.

    This même is a blend of arrogance, ignorance, disdain and malice. Even the fascist are rarely doing so bad.

    But no one supports the authoritarian USSR except idiots. So why is there propaganda against it?

    It’s litteraly like doing propaganda against the French Empire of Napoléon. That stuff is dead and even the biggest moron are not stuck to it anymore.

    I’m talking about the west obviously, where litteral nazi are parading in the streets and developing their networks irl and on social médias, and those libtards are doing absolutely nothing about it.



  • I disagree on the last paragraph. Not so long ago helping disabled people was an obvious thing to do in our societies. I’m not saying it was easy for them or that it always worked. But in the last 70 years our societies changed to remove any help that wasn’t justified. The reason was simply to save money.

    Now you must justify that you are different and this difference warrant a different treatment. Because the society became intolerant to difference.


  • Wholeheartedly agree with this! IMO our societies have a big problem with people being different.

    That’s my opinion, but I attribute this liberalism: when the society’s philosophy is to attribute 5he responsibility of anyone’s success on each self person, it means the responsability to fit in is on the person itself and not on the society. This removes the burden of inclusion from the society, the group, and make it a burden of adaptation on the person. It is a toxic societal environment.

    As an argument to this point of view: making it an illness provide a justification for the person to be different, and a responsability for the society to accommodate disabled people. But the need to go to this extreme instead of simply being tolerant and accommodating any difference is both stupid (because it is a burden for both the victims and the society to hold discussions about basic needs) and a inhuman way of treating people.

    Another argument to my thesis is that the “epidemic” is coincidental with societal individualism (pushed by liberalism and that rose since the end of ww2) and the decline of social structures like church and government help (because liberalism was about fighting government involvement in people’s lives).
