Keep looking. Find one with a thick stainless steel construction. I have two that you could break a window with.

I would edit it to say:

The precise reason why the solution has always been total replacement of the system with direct democracy. From within or without.

I have some faith that we'd see the economic outcomes we want with direct votes for measures vs. votes for politicians, due to the amount of involvement required.

Congress has the power to impeach him and remove him from office. Of course, like the last 10 or so war criminal presidents of the U.S., they don't. Likewise, the courts have the power to neuter his presidency - and had the power to put him in prison - but don't, and didn't.

I've gotten pretty far in using it, great tool with plugin integrations.

I don't think this is a well-defined term, so not much point in arguing about its definition.

Cause there's like six other distros based on it. The point is that a package manager especially is a huge part of what differentiates the general experience of using a distro, and how a derivative distro works. And sure, lots of other details. Something like Manjaro, Artix etc. is basically cut from Arch as a template, often incorporating upstream changes or packages, with downstream changes based on differences of opinion.

"Conveniently?" I'm not making a case against Arch. I'm literally using an Arch derivative. Just not trying to sit here listing every single customization they ever made. Chill the fuck out.

I'll tell you, nothing bricks as hard or as irreparably as Windows. I have never had to actually reinstall Linux due to some problem (though it's a good practice security-wise).

A package manager + some packages in the base system maybe, is basically a distro template. And maybe some kernel tweaks, or a built-in DE/WM. Or opinionated init system maybe.

Yes, that. Always be conscious of what impression some information is giving you, and analyze whether your reaction is based on a full view of the situation, or if it's just the reaction that the information was shown to you in order to provoke. Because that is precisely the level propaganda operates at. The "they spent years carefully calculating a takeover" narrative is not compatible with the "toddler throwing a tantrum" narrative. Either one, or neither, must be true.

The abyss in the enforcement of international law, and the absence of any conscience, gives rise to the "just one more chip" approach to land seizure. The settlers also largely have an insane sense of entitlement to the land based on their religious mindset.
