    Your “Explanation” essentially boiled down to “Nuh-uh!”, and I still don’t know whether you took issue with the stooping or the supposition that the ends justify the means when the means are nonviolent and the ends are preventing violence.

    Or maybe it was the simple math analogy that went over your head?

    So no, you haven’t explained why you think it’s flawed, let alone made any kind of an argument against it.

    What part is flawed exactly? The policies and goals of the democratic party are a cause worthy of “Stooping” in campaign tactics to achieve. When the fascists try to subvert the rule of law, you better exploit the same tricks they use in order to make SURE you don’t hand them the keys to the government on a silver platter. Play by their rules, then fix the issues with the rules that they play by. We can’t afford to let them win.




  • Technically assembly is a human-readable, paper-thin abstraction of the machine code. It really only implements one additional feature over raw machine code and that’s labels, which prevents you from having to rewrite jump and goto instructions EVERY TIME you refactor upstream code to have a different number of instructions.

    So not strictly the bunch of bits. But very close to it.

    While I don’t think it’s as high as 90% of users, I admit I didn’t think about people who would subject themselves to Arch just to not take advantage of what Arch has to offer.

    (But seriously, why would anyone choose to do this when they can just install Mint)

    It’s not about Arch itself being a unique choice, it’s about how Arch looks very different from user to user because they not only had the option but the requirement to install nearly everything but the Kernel themselves.

    The result is that no two Arch users end up with the same OS, just the same kernel and package manager.
