Probably they’ll just agree with him :/ Not speaking from experience on Canadians, but from what I understand of the cult mentality.

You have still failed to provide an example of a better place.

I don’t want to buy Russian or Chinese any more than I want to buy American. Rhea is interesting, but seems only targeted at HPC and uses ARM cores. Now RISC-V on the other hand… Damn I do hope it takes off. I suppose it’s dependent on software support as much as actual CPU support, so once I can actually buy a RISC-V machine, I’ll see if there’s anything I can do to widen RISC-V support in the FOSS world. I’m sure there are plenty of projects that will build without a whole load of modifications needed, but need someone to configure the build targets and test.

I asked for a single country that was not racist in the 20th century, but had comparable diversity. You have not provided one yet.

The for-profit prison system is fucked for sure and no other country has fucked up this bad.

It is easy to criticize the one country that has the most different nationalities in it for its history with racism. However, can you name another country that has as large a share of minorities and does NOT have a history of racism?

Right off the bat all of Europe is already disqualified. The west dabbled in its’ own colonialism and the east under Soviet rule got so racist, the n-word is the standard way to refer to black people among people over 40. Remember that Yandex source code leak where the master-slave relationship (already a racist terminology) had “n***er” instead of slave? In many Asian countries, black people are also seen as subhuman. Scandinavia pretends to be super tolerant, but it’s superficial. Eastern Europeans are seen as lower class.

People don’t see that the entire world is racist as fuck. It’s so easy to blame a single country and act like it’s the only source of racism in the world. It might just be the most open about it, but there’s still quiet discrimination everywhere.

Do name a more diverse or equal place though. I know in my country you get stared down hard if you dare be too dark skinned. Same goes for many European AND Asian countries (imagine being a black tourist in Japan lmao, they can barely stand white folks).

Many of the older people in my country still think anyone from Africa (which by the way includes Afghanistan) is a monkey. By older I mean 50+ not even like 80 or 90.

The UK and France are definitely more tolerant and diverse, but they also imported black people as slaves way back when, so it’s not like they’re all that much better either.

Plus in much of Europe we still can’t stand gypsies. It’s literally the same thing as with black people in the US historically.

The Arab countries literally import slaves from South-East Asia and Africans can’t even stand other Africans based on cultural differences.

I don’t know, maybe South America? Uruguay nowadays is a pretty good place for everyone I hear. I wouldn’t want to be in South America in the 1900s but half of all that was US-caused anyway.

The US had a 94% income tax rate for the richest at one point. It has not always been what it is now. The country has been looted of both its’ economic strength as well as its’ moral values.

Yeah, the problem in the US for an example is nationalism, not patriotism. True patriots would be fuming at what’s going on. It’s the nationalists that cheer on.

You forgot AMD there. Intel alone would be super easy to avoid. But AMD is also based in the US. You kinda need either AMD or Intel if you want to own a useful computer. Or there’s Apple Silicon, but that’s still American. Qualcomm laptop offerings are not that great yet and guess what, it’s also an American company.

This is all a lot harder to boycott than Coca Cola, Nike, etc. I can just buy local soft drinks and Adidas shoes. In fact I currently own Adidas shoes (I’m the kinda guy who buys one pair of shoes, wears the everloving fuck out of them, then buys another pair and the old pair gets used in the garage afterwards) and my clothes already come from European owned brands (that are probably made in Bangladesh or something, I don’t buy a lot of expensive clothes). UPS and FedEx aren’t hard to avoid either. Most of my shit gets delivered via Omniva, DHL or Itella.

The x86-64 CPU monopoly that the US has might honestly be the hardest American thing to avoid. The cloud monopoly is even bigger and we all tend to interact with it in one way or another, but most of us could host our own shit on Hetzner or OVH if needed, so at least no need to directly give them money.

I’m, despite being European, pro-American. It’s just that what America has become disappoints me much like it disappoints most Americans. I’m not pro this America.

The government has always been responsible for some shady shit, but for a long time there, the US stood for diversity, not against it. Yes it took a long time for certain types of people to receive equal rights, but that was unfortunately the same pretty much everywhere else too. Big American metropolitan cities are huge melting pots of culture though. Go walk around NYC, it’s awesome once you get far enough from Wall Street. I do hope I can one day still go to San Francisco as well, but despite being a white cishet male, I don’t intend to visit the US unless the current admin is replaced with a sane one.

Yeah, what the hell is a florida ounce anyway?

You must be trolling but in case you’re not, the richest man in the world bought Twitter to silence left wing voices that were a danger to his ability to exploit the working class.

Now that he’s functionally the president of the united states, he obviously doesn’t want people to use Tor because that would make it harder to find and jail people who are against him.
