  • I believe you've answered your own question.

    Lemmy isn't Marxist-only. The majority of Lemmy users are what the more vocal Lemmygrad and Hexbear users deride as "libs." As a thought experiment, imagine that you are one of us for a moment and then browse Local on one of those.

  • GWB publicly condoning torture.

    I grew up during the tail end of the cold war. Torture was something the Soviets did. We were better than that.

    And sure, I knew the CIA did stuff like that under the table, but it was never OK.

  • That part of it, sure, but the guy was good at business and made some smart bets (that the microcomputer industry would explode, for one). Microsoft didn't get as big as it has based only on their technical ability. They got there because they made the right decisions and were cutthroat against their competitors.

    Bill was at the right time and right place, but he was also the right guy. You gotta have them all.
