I commend and congratulate you! As a born American, it was never a problem for me. However, as a Jew I know full well the fragile and tenuous peace can vanish in a moment if any one or more ethnic groups become a convenient scapegoat for a regime. My grandparents got out of Germany literally with moments to spare. At the same time my grandparents were boarding a plane, SS were bashing down the doors to their home.

So if you are in a position that you could ever face persecution like that, getting the F out is the smartest thing to do. I sincerely wish you all the best and hope you make a peaceful life somewhere that isn’t headed down the hellish path that America is. Even being a white American, I still sometimes worry because of being Jewish. It can very easily happen again to my people, especially since antisemitism is in vogue again lately. And the biggest problem is that it’s familiar and comfortable for most people; my people are expected to have acclimated to oppression - hey aren’t you used to it?

I hope someday soon, the USA will be safe again for you, though I would further admire if you’ve made a life somewhere that is preferable even over a safe USA.

Kudos to you and your family.

Ah. Well I dunno, I’m not an expert. I only have my own experiences.

I don’t hate anything whatsoever! It kicks ass in everything. I’m sure there are some things I’d like to see improved, I can’t think of at the moment but I know I’ve had minor frustrations. But nothing is perfect and Linux has been absolutely fantastic for me on all the systems I use it for.

So your last words clearly concede that it’s microshaft’s fault.

Because it’s too depressing to them to admit both “sides” we have are equally against the will of the people and 100% OWNED by the ultra-rich who OWN - in the most literal sense - the country at this point. We - as in the people being a nation represented in government - fucking LOST.

Its called being a moron.

The nature of your post is highly trollish so yes delete absolutely everything. The sooner you can stop wasting everyone’s attsntion, the better.

Never a shortage of shitheads being loud. Just ignore them - they don’t deserve your attention for a moment.

OK I hear ya. I think like anything, a low-quality, low-effort, low-cost product will appeal to a certain demographic, and there will be no shortage of bottom-feeders who will peddle it for a buck.

I don’t understand the odd jump to teenagers on Deviantart. You sound like you have an axe to grind.

I don’t know why you attribute to the deviantart community the status of teenagers, and I also don’t know why you think that there aren’t talented and seasoned artists all over the world making beautiful expressions in a diverse spectrum of media.

Are you bitter about something? I don’t like AI art whatsoever and I don’t think it deserves to be called art. It’s sewage. I also think that individuals who like that crap distinguish themselves as unsophisticated and dumb. I think most people with taste feel this way. So what’s got you worried?

Wow this is actually happening? The country really seems more and more all the time like we are going to end up two separate nations. The U.S.A. and Gilead.

Also, yeah, these fossils have less than no tech knowledge to think anything can get in the way of porn when someone wants it. What a fucking joke. These are our political representatives hard at work. Probably actually HARD at work. The dumbest sampling of humanity.

The post you linked to is written extremely poorly, clearly by someone who would absolutely fail any writing class. They are very poor at writing in all aspects. Also they integrated references and slang.

The christians don’t like sex.

Nope, just informative to the extent I could be.

“Look it up” is not an argument, it’s a suggested course of action. I explained my point and then suggested you look it up in order to see it more elaborated and supported.

I wasn’t aware there was an argument taking place; certainly not one involving me.

By demonstrating the facts which make the system meet the definition. Look it up there’s plenty of articles citing studies. Someone else linked a major one here.

Someone also did the other side where they tied policy- and law-making to benefiting the ultra rich. I do not recall source so I can’t provide that, but I did read the paper at one time a few years ago. It was legit.

It has been an oligarchy for a long time. This has been studied and proven.
