The surveillance state always hurts dissidents most of all. We shouldn't neglect the importance of constraining its power.

    Always cracks me up to see people who champion open source alternatives hate on communism.

    This isn’t about “drawing comparisons” this is about how you don’t understand why someone would champion open source software and hate on communism…because of course people hate on fucking communism, you dope.

    It’s proven time and time again that communist governments bring suffering to their people. Like, some fucked up shit. Like starvation, inequality, and lack of basic human rights.

    Whereas open source software can be educational, build cost effective solutions for people and businesses, and empower people’s lives.

    You see the difference?

      I see another propagandized ego driven fool who speaks louder and with more venom the less substance he has.
