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.

I'm well aware that liberalism is an international term.

Yet you assumed I made a US-specific reference when I did in no way do so.

However, it is used very differently in the US to everywhere else. In the US, liberal is used to pretty much mean "left wing" or "relating to the Democrat party".

Yes I know. I was not using it in that sense.

And I said fuck off with your Ukraine Nazi bullshit. Stop parroting Russian propaganda, gimboid.

It is not bullshit. There are and have been Ukrainian Mazis and liberals falling over themselves to repeat their racist and chauvinist talking points.

You absolutely were using it in that sense.

There is literally nowhere on planet earth where humans live in any large number where you will not find Nazis.

Claiming that Ukraine is rife with it in any meaningful sense is very much a Russian talking point, and even one of the defenses given by Russia in starting their war/genocide.

Stop repeating Russian propaganda.

Honestly, what is it with lemmy.ml and people who love Russia?

I was not. Please do your best to participate in good faith and not make things up, let alone make them up and then repeatedly assert them based on nothing.

That is true, but also does not contradict anything I have said, nor does it excuse those who repeat their racist and chauvinist talking points.

Claiming that Ukraine is rife with it in any meaningful sense

I haven't said anything like this. That is your insertion.

Stop repeating Russian propaganda.

Please stop lying about what I have said.

Honestly, what is it with lemmy.ml and people who love Russia?

It's not me, it is you doing a poor job at wrestling with your cognitive dissonance. My mere mention of Russophobia from liberals, borrowed from Ukrainian Nazis, resulted in you inventing entire lines of thought and arguments that were not there rather than directly engaging with the facts if the matter. This is defensive behavior intended to avoid what I said and return to an arena where you feel more comfortable.

Not ironically, that arena is one where you feel comfortable being against Russia, lmao.
