"A philosophy and political movement of extreme nationalism, militaristic imperialism, suppression of civil rights, and opposition to democratic social progress, expressed through the efforts of a fanatic minority to seize complete political power."
I stand by what I said. Look at Lemmy.ml. This entire instance hates the west and wants it to fall. How is what I said even controversial at this point?
You never did address the inherent contradiction in your argument but we can end it here if you want.
Who is we? And how do all of you know what you claim?
marginalized people
'Marginalized' is a loaded term. What would make them NOT marginalized? Being the majority or having disproportionate representation?
as a whole are overpoliced
How did you come to this determination?
so even police statistics are generally racist
This relies on your previous statement which I doubt
marginalized people being generally poorer and lacking the same opportunities and access to jobs, education, housing, etc, so the likelihood of someone being homeless or extremely poor and desperate is much higher for those that are marginalized
Well now you're changing your tune from your previous statement. Foreigners will necessarily be less established and struggle more than a native citizen. If these conditions mean that they are more likely to commit crime then doesn't it follow that they would (and should) be policed more often?
most crime committed by marginalized people disproportionately affect other marginalized people from their own community
This is the same for any group.
Is it possible that they just commit a disproportionate amount of crime? Not is it true but is it possible? If it is possible how would you determine that?
It sounds like you're trying to explain away the fact that subset of the population is responsible for an outsized portion of crime.
EndeavourOS meets all of those criteria except for the GUI package management which, admittedly, is unnatural to the Windows convert. However conquering that small, surmountable hump will unlock the AUR which imo is the real value add. There are many packages that are not included in standard repos that are included in the AUR. Regardless users can choose whatever they want. EndeavourOS is a great distro that is not complicated. It uses the calamares installer and ships with KDE. An afternoon of reading about how pacman works and installing yay/paru provides a great user experience and they will never have to do a system upgrade.
I recommend EndeavourOS to newbies because I'm biased towards Arch. I think it's a relatively low BS distro that gets you up and running. You also have access to the AUR which is awesome.
If that seems like too much I've heard Linux Mint is dead simple and stable.
People are trained to give their data to corporations and subscribe to everything costing them more money over the course of their lives. Selfhosting is simple nowadays particularly with projects like Umbrel out there in the market. If someone is a white collar worker under 40 "complicated" or "time-consuming" aren't really viable excuses anymore. It's something else.
It's the geopolitical equivalent of "at least take me out to dinner first"
