  He is narrowly defining the two terms specifically when it suits his argument, but none of these are socialist systems. Of course, he is ignoring the connection between socialist philosophy and these systems and the groups that fought for these systems and their ideology.

  Why do you think I put quotations on those terms?

  You should look into the Pinkerton’s and a lot of the horsecrap that was going on in the 1800s in a more purely capitalist system. There are systems that mix “socialism” with “capitalism” that work out pretty well. Socialist systems brought the broken capitalist systems out of the destitute poverty people were in, systems like Unions, New Deal policies and so many others. Regulation saved children’s lives in the early 20th century.

  I agree that socialism has never worked, but neither has capitalism. It has ALWAYS been a mixed system that flourishes.

  You’re correct. For example, me or my wife get “pre-annoyed” at the other. We are always in the wrong when we do it and it takes a couple of grown ups to understand that. I don’t agree with the childish mentality that you are in the right for being an asshole. Like, just treat people with respect and don’t take your ish out on other people. When you find yourself aggressive towards someone before they say anything, you are in the wrong and should reexamine your life.

  Fixed. Even a horrible writer that rips off ancient Sumerian myth needs an editor.

  At some point the bear would be killed and, seeing that his own end would come, the gorilla would go into an existential crisis and would go on a long quest to find out how to avoid death. This quest would, eventually, lead the gorilla to finding an old lab from the time of the humans. In this lab there would live an old chimpanzee that has survived countless ages. When asked how he long survived, the chimpanzee would explain that the humans discovered the secret to immortality.

  Alas, when asked for directions on how to achieve the same, the chimp would tell the bear that the process was lost to the span of time. The secret, however, could be found by making a journey to the lowest depths of a sunken part of urban jungle, wherein an old lab sits. After acquiring the gear to survive, the gorilla would dive deep into the abyss, after and would make it to the lab. In the lab, the secret would be discovered and he would make his way to the surface, victorious.

  Alas, as the ape ascended, he would be beset upon by a large mutant fish. A monster so terrifying that even the non-descriptions of the human writer H.P. Lovecraft wouldn’t be able to do it justice. The gorilla would fight the monster and emerge victorious, but at a cost. The secret that he had spent so long pursuing would be destroyed. Lost to time.

  The gorilla would go back to the urban jungle and marvel at the world that he and the bear had built. The urban jungle would stand the test of time as a symbol to all that came after, of the might of the bear and the gorilla.

  As someone who lives in the Southeast US that works for a European company with children with their amazing mother who happens to be black, it is absolutely terrifying. The ignorance of people is absolutely astounding and terrifying. I have conversations with people I work closely with and even the ones who don’t support the insanity are very reticent to call a spade a spade. If we ever get out of this, the cleanup is going to take decades. How long is it going to take to repair our relationship with our former allies? Are my kids going to be safe? Do I pick up and move and hope for the best? I had someone wearing a don’t tread on me flag hat stare me down with disgust the other day while sitting with my family eating. How can this be happening in the open now? /endrant

  I use FreeIPA and it works just fine for everything I would need AD for. Your point still stands. I just mean there are good enough alternatives for the Linux environment.
