Believing in something and believing something exists or is a certain state are two very different things.

You can believe that this despotic duopoly exists in such a way that there are only two outcomes, without believing such a system will ever function.

You misread, try it again.

Let’s work on getting people housed before faffing about with pointless nonsense like more or less desirable housing. When even the victorians has lower homelessness rates you don’t get to worry about desirability.

Second point, who cares? If they’re living there now they pay tax there now. It does not matter they didn’t pay tax before they lived there, that’s how all other services work. You don’t pay for the roads in a town you just moved to until you’re moved in.

I’m sorry, even if you go back to the original Russian empire, no entity or arbitrary collection of entities containing a “Russia” has invaded more countries or killed more civilians than the US.

That’s the plain fact of the matter. Invading more than 70 countries does that.

Russia bad, the US is and will always be worse.

How do you take longer? It’s a ten minute job with a journeyman and apprentice helper.

No landlord is a working person, otherwise they wouldn’t be landlords.

Community housing that’s fully tax funded. Common houses or public houses have been around for millenia, until the last couple hundred years really.

Oh and “the tragedy of the commons” is literally propaganda made up by a literal feudal lord.

Illiterate and a landlord? That does check out, you pathetic excuse for a parasitic infection somehow confused for a human.

Yes, if enough principaled contributors leave, it’ll no longer make sense for companies to pay for people to contribute.

China is divesting as quickly as possible from the US as they’ve overtaken the use in GDP

The US sanctions anyone that isn’t under their complete control, it’s not a serious country.

And I’m truly sorry you’re too much of a brainwashed nationalist to understand why free software shouldn’t be affected by petty politics.

It’s better in the long term, free software and the political philosophy behind it is entirely incompatible with American political ideology or geopolitics generally. If everyone can contribute, everyone can benefit. When you start limiting this by arbitrary nonsensical reasoning due to legal obligations you only have because the founder of the foundation has a boner for an idealized America that never existed… Shit gets worse. From this many developers are going to permanently leave Linux development and a few may get petty enough to change their license to prevent use in Linux.

Nope, a decent amount are Chinese. Or European. American companies of course do fund foss so they don’t have to develop much themselves, but it’s certainly not most.

Nope, it’s not.

Excluding developers because of arbitrary sections issued by the most war mongering country in at least the last 10,000 years is not non-controversial, as it turns out.

Either the death of the Linux Foundation or the exclusion of the Linux foundation from kernel development for at least a few versions. In any case Linus likely used the last of his goodwill in proving he’s more American than any other descriptor.

It’s really not, a smaller project? Maybe. A project with tens of thousands of eyes on it at all times? Not so much.
