Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

    Libertarian? Im not American, so im unfamiliar – isn’t that one just the Republican party with extra pedophilia?

      As an American in order to understand our libertarians you must first understand the gilded age of American capitalism. It was an era of extreme wealth disparity, zero regulations, and everything was disgusting and dangerous. Libertarians dislike everything that ended that.

      Well, libertarian doesn’t necessarily mean someone in line with the Libertarian Party of the US. If we want to consider the meanings of these terms by referring to how they are understood to in the US, we would be all very confused, since everything in the US seems to have a twisted meaning.

      See for example, their Fascist party is called the “Republican Party”… Their Right-center oriented party is often referred to as a “left-leaning” party… and finally there’s another right-wing party with slightly different positions than the fascist party, calling themselves the “Libertarian Party”, because why not! 🤷
