From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Idealism is not a slur, but the philosophy that liberalism is built on. It posits that reality is shaped by people's ideas in their brains.
This leads to all sorts of horrifying stuff:
People try to make their lies reality by trying to force other people to believe them.
People dehumanize people who disagree with them since only human's ideas are the ones that supposedly shape reality.
Whenever the idealists' ideas don't become reality, instead of questioning their ideology, they can just blame everyone who disagreed with them, for "bending reality the other way".
