    Marxism is frustrating because people will hear a phrase and conjure their own meaning in their mind palace instead of reading theory

        Yes you can only game on a pc running linux under communism and it will be better than everything that came before it.

              I love reading comments like this lol. I've been using Linux for 12 years and full time for about 10. The state of gaming has only gotten better over time. There is still a lot of stigma about "but muh gamez" but like 80%(?) of the Steam catalog runs on Linux via Proton.

                ive run it for about this much time, but been dailing ever since proton came proper out.

                it was nice and all but pretty limiting, you had to recompile and cherrypick experimental patches, fuck around the system... the progress has been pretty damn good. anticheat seems like the final exception for me.

    He was wrong about religion being the opiate of masses, because you can't make opiates out of masses no matter their faith, you make it out of that nice red flower that I buy at my local bourgeois flower man and then I fuck it because it is a pretty commodity.

    I hereby declare that my conlang's term for "commodity fetishism" will be sotaňinnateogestvaluekruňiyabelief which may be abbreviated as "STOKiya". I have made the people of my conworld endure the evils of colonization and genocide, but I will not make them endure for the fifty millionth time having to explain "no, not like a sex thing"

    while this isn't the technically correct use of the term, i do think it kinda plays and the dunking on this person is a bit overboard on twitter.

    obviously alluding to the attempts at a freud marx synthesis by the french intellecutals of the 70s
