Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

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.

Uh, I have been using Linux for 7 years and I'm pretty conservative. Don't associate Linux with corrupt communist ideals
The corrupt ideals of not killing our planet for profit
I guess killing off millions does save the planet some pollution. But thats not a very ideal way of pollution control, is it?
Idk, the millions of people dying under capitalism doesn't seem to help much. Be it hunger, lack of medical treatment, water and imperialist wars.
Ask a right winger to describe the horrors of communism and they'll describe capitalism every single time
if you track down the source where you got that notion in your head it probably includes dead nazis on the eastern front as deaths caused by communism.
No it was the communist in china
that's ecofash shit but go off
100million people die every 5 years to easily preventable causes under capitalism. But since it doesn't directly affect your day to day you just ignore it entirely because you're comfortable, while attacking the thing that would change it.
Damn the cognitive dissonance must be wild.
