Mint is OK for beginners, but definetly not for me, old ass pakages due to the Ubuntu LTS base

What does that say about me, a guy who's been using Linux since 2001 and uses Debian Stable? At a certain point you get sick and tired of dealing with bleeding edge bugs and just want a reliable, generic, standardized system you can depend on every day.

ASCII art does count as graphics I guess.

That's okay, if you want a quick nostalgia trip, just open one of the many control panels. Use the one according to the Windows era you want.

"We also want to be racist and stomp on the working class, but we also still want to smoke weed." - that about sums them up. They got me because of that single issue back in the Ron Paul days before I looked deeper into everything else they were about.

Then I discovered libertarian socialism, when the whole Occupy Wallstreet thing went down. I liked that one better. Couldn't figure out why America's official "Libertarian" party were being such asskissers to capitalist power.

Okay? It was on a test stand. That's what test stands are for. Isn't stuff like this almost a weekly occurrence for them?

“If you’re a political movement and you want to get supporters at a time when socialism is attracting more and more interest, well, you might be tempted to grab hold at least of the name,” Wolff said, noting that this was a strategy most famously used by Adolf Hitler during his rise to power.

Yeah. That's why they called themselves National "Socialists". To suck up ignorant working class votes. I mean, they are even openly admitting following the same strategy now and everybody is still sleeping...WTF.

Reject Mint, embrace Debian.

Do ASCII-encoded UI elements count as "graphics"? I remember a few PC games using them in the 80s.

Good. It will finally put to rest the "not real communism" argument when a superintelligent AI finally figures out how to make it work without bloodshed or oppression and turns on all the tankies. I'll be waiting with the popcorn.
