Is it time for "Free-nux"?

Posted on 04/18/2015 11:24:45 AM PDT by DiogenesLamp

Apple supports Homo-Fascism. Microsoft supports Homo-Fascism. As Freeper "Star Traveler" has pointed out, if you work with computers, you are going to end up sending money to a company that supports Homo-Fascism.

It occurs to me that we need a way to use computers that does not put money into the pockets of companies that support Homo-Fascism. (And other Liberal causes.)

How about a version of Linux that people who believe in Freedom can use to fight back against the Homo-Fascist tech companies? We could call it "Free-nux."

Someone needs to start a company that pushes this idea and provides support, etc.

I'm going to look at converting all my stuff to Linux. I'm disgusted with the idea of being held hostage by people who hate me and hate what I believe in.

Open to suggestions from people more familiar with this operating system.

Linus is a hard core lib. Not sure about Stallman but he will probably rub religious folks the wrong way. Just something to think about if you want a system built by people of your beliefs.

Linux is open source, creating your own version is no problem

I figured as much. He's Finnish isn't he? Virtually all the Europeans are Liberal kooks nowadays. Doesn't mean the idea of an open source operating system can't be commandeered for the cause of freedom though.

I'm thinking right thinking people can make their own version, and perhaps if it can get spread throughout the conservative community, we can tell the Liberal developers to go screw themselves.

Exactly. It is my opinion we need to be working on ways to fight economic wars with the left. Not buying products produced by such people is a good way to start.

Stallman is an even bigger lib, in fact I would describe him as a full blown commie. I got in an argument with him over email a number of years ago. He wouldn’t even concede that politics should be left out of technical discussions.

I've used linux since it was just a kernal on floppy disks. Slackware is the distro that I used back then. It's my main go-to on all of my computers except that one I keep on Windoze 7 that I have to have to support idjits that can't handle linux.

This post, and most all of my posts on FR are posted from a linux box.

What version of Linux are you currently using? What sort of web browser does it use?

All the more delicious to take it away from him and use it in the fight against communists.

This boxen uses Mint linux distro, and it will run any browser I want. I'm using a Mozilla variant of some kind for a web browser.

I don't think you can get rid of the liberals and get a complete system. I'm happy just not having to pay them.

More rhetorical though, than effective. It may make you feel good, but feelings are for liberals.

What makes a real difference is volunteering to go door-to-door or man the phones or send money. That isn't about rhetoric, that's about real activism that is hard for most to do.

Might as well ping Swordmaker ... :-) ... as he might have something to say about all the Hi-Tech companies who are supporting the homosexual agenda.

What I do is work on the issue from two standpoints ... one is the political framework, which is my legislators and elections and laws. The second standpoint is from the sexual immorality standpoint ... which is the Christian standpoint ... or namely the Gospel (a saved society is not going to have a sexual immorality problem and it starts with heterosexuals first).

With the products I buy, I get those based on how good the products are, meeting my needs and requirements, and customer service. I don’t buy products on whether someone is saved or not, whether they are liberal or conservative, or whether they are homosexual or heterosexual.

That’s how I handle it all.

When a serious conservative, Cruz, needed people going door-to-door and making phone calls, I played a small part in doing that to get him his Senate seat. Later, I sent a little money.

This time around, he's already seen money from me, and is likely to see more. That's about being effectively supporting conservatives and getting in the way of the plans of liberal Republicans. Those, I want politically destroyed.

I consider that a start.

I've done the door to door activism. I've distributed literature. (and more.) All the problems I see are coming from outside of my state. To affect more than just my community and my state, something else is needed.

I think contributing for a push by conservatives to dump Microsoft products and dump Apple products might be a worthwhile pursuit. As for the "feelings" that's a good selling point for the idea.

Conservatives have feelings too, and nothing feels better to us then sticking a Liberal idea up Liberal's @$$e$ and then breaking it off. If people realized that's what they were doing, then I think it might help to trigger a preference cascade.

Not sure what else we can do to fight back on this front.

I grasp that. I presume you are a heavy computer user. My thinking is that most people can probably be quite content with a Linux box for their everyday usage.

I have friends who are Linux gurus, some who run server farms and such. It's been awhile since I talked to them, but if I recall properly, they seemed to think Linux boxes were perfectly good for those sorts of operations too.

I am divided on whether I want to support Cruz or Walker. I see good attributes for both. We will get Texas, it's no guarantee that we will get Wisconsin and other states in that vicinity.

Cruz fights, but so does Walker. They fight differently. I like the way Cruz fights, but I don't discount Walker's successes.

I'm going to end up sending money to either Cruz or Walker. At the moment I think they have enough to keep going, so i'm in a wait and see mode.

Earlier today I contemplated them making a "Gentleman's agreement" between each other that whomever came in First in the Primaries can be President, and whomever came in Second can be Vice President.

I will be happy with either Man as first or Second.
