History isn’t propaganda

Always cracks me up to see people who champion open source alternatives hate on communism.

This isn’t about “drawing comparisons” this is about how you don’t understand why someone would champion open source software and hate on communism…because of course people hate on fucking communism, you dope.

It’s proven time and time again that communist governments bring suffering to their people. Like, some fucked up shit. Like starvation, inequality, and lack of basic human rights.

Whereas open source software can be educational, build cost effective solutions for people and businesses, and empower people’s lives.

You see the difference?

make millions of people felons overnight

Also wrong. I knew you were going to spout some far right bullshit propaganda.

Here, take some time to educate yourself.

Listen up people - it is okay to evolve our laws as we evolve as people. No one needs a fucking AR-15, and if you do, it should be regulated.

…JFC

You shouldn’t feel that way, because communism has absolutely nothing to do with open source software.

Communism is a political ideology.

Open source software is a licensing technique for creators and developers. Mostly so that no one has to worry about getting sued if they want to implement or modify said software. You think a communist government would even allow the use of open source software over government issued/approved software?

Yeah, but you’re also wrong about the gun rights. They’re trying to enact sensible laws, not strip gun rights.

The most [egregious] recent example is the legality of arm braces.

It’s not egregious, that’s called a sensible conversation.

Why do gun fanatics need these types of guns anyway? What are you hunting, dragons? It’s so cringe to me when gun enthusiasts get all upset about responsible gun laws - they just want to shoot everything and anything with the most firepower they can acquire. God forbid they have to earn the right to own such a weapon.

Democrats believe that we can reduce gun violence while respecting the rights of responsible gun owners. We believe we should expand and strengthen background checks for those who want to purchase a firearm – because it shouldn’t be easier to get a gun than a driver’s license.

That is not taking your precious guns away, it’s requiring you to not be a complete moron before acquiring one. Which is apparently why you have a problem with the proposal.

Yes. You need a reference when you’re talking pure bullshit. None of that unfounded crap is on the democratic agenda. That’s why you can’t cite a single reference.

Bullshit like yours needs to be called out every time.

Why don’t you cite one reference to support your bullshit?

To bear arms.

No they’re not.

Also nobody seems interested in male reproductive rights.

Okay, I’ll bite. Like what?

Also, have you seen how leftist moderators here on Lemmy behave?

Do tell…

I know you mean democrats, but that would be incorrect about the second amendment and freedom of association.

Where’d you read that?

What rights are the left trying to take away?

Ha! Now I see it - that was very funny, sir!

And Dr. Ruth! 😪

If shitting yourself is cool, consider me Miles Davis!

What do you mean by that?
