So your argument rests not on truth but on populism.

Even if you're right in your wholly unsubstantiated claim, the way to get more people on your side is by persuading them, not by capitulating to their ill-informed beliefs. Giving in to their bullshit is how you join their side.

I would love to know what your media diet is.

That's an extremely narrow point that isn't worth bothering with, because nobody is confused about what you mean when you call them "nazis".

Also it's not one guy doing a zeig heil, it's become a trend amongst them now. They have invited the comparison openly, and anybody getting all pissy about "you just call everything you don't like nazi" is just a crybully who's deliberately wasting your time. At this point anybody turned off of your cause by your use of the word "nazi" isn't your ally in the first place.

Like sure they're not exactly the same as the NSDAP, but the category still applies, and it's not worth anybody's time splitting hairs over the exact nature of the type of fascism they have, because "nazi" does the job and again, nobody is confused by it, because the original nazis are all resting in piss.

Do you have any argument as to why this matters, in any way, at all?

They are literally zeig-heiling.

Cool story but nobody has to listen to you if you can't be bothered to substantiate anything.

Conspiratorial thinking is evidence of and leads to very disordered thinking. You can carry on with it if you want, I'm not your cult leader and I don't have any say in how deranged you get.

A centrist is just a conservative who knows that "conservative" is a bad word.

With evidence, please. "I reckon" is not good enough. There is no evidence that anyone coordinated this at all.

Like fuck Trump, but if they staged it why would the shooter be a disaffected conservative and not some antifa supersoldier or whatever? Like they're playing out their fantasies and apparently they can construct whatever reality they feel like, why muddy the waters in any way?

I'm sorry, the reality in which the dude just sucked, the secret service kind of suck at their job, and the bullet grazed Trump's ear rather than going into his brain from sheer dumb luck is a messy, shitty, scary place where nobody really calls the shots, but it turns out that's probably the one we live in.

You're noticing that Gell-Mann Amnesia.

I looked it up yesterday because I kept seeing it in an Angela Collier video title and I realised that despite watching the video and re-checking the info several times, I could never remember what Gell-Mann amnesia was, and that was too ironic to be allowed to continue. So this time instead of looking it up and going "ooohh, that's right, okay, nevermind", I went, "okay, now repeat it to yourself until you're sure you won't have to look it up again".

Ah okay, so what I'm reading there is that it may be piratable, but a lot of software vendors don't support it, so there's a decent risk that software would just randomly stop working, which is the same problem you get with windows 10 long term. Oh well.

That site's ai protection won't let me through. But if the issue is needing a legitimate license them I'm sure that can be overcome in other ways.

Well I mainly want it to keep my VR headset running which nobody can get working in linux.

One of these days I'll replace it and make sure the new one can run on linux, and then I won't have much keeping me on windows anymore.

I discovered recently that they make the regular ISOs hard to access too. It didn't want to let me download it from a linux machine.

But there's always a way to access this stuff.

What are the legal issues?

I think it can fall under the same umbrella if their health is failing - it certainly follows the same logic of getting rid of the useless eaters.

But strictly speaking it doesn't affect the gene pool, so you're right about that.
