    Honestly same thing happens when we talk about men.

    Tons of women coming up, saying “women have it worse” and attempting to minimize the importance if men’s issues.

    Let’s just listen to both sides for once, and make everyone heard. When everyone is given a platform to speak, there’s no need to interrupt each other.






  • My switch to Linux started 1,5 years ago with Manjaro KDE - and since then, I am still a fan of KDE, which is kind of “Windows UI done right” for me. Ergonomic, configurable, consistent. I also find Pantheon, Enlightenment, and Budgie to be cool concepts, but from a practical side, KDE is a no-brainer for me.

    Mint comes with Cinnamon by default, and I guess that’s what you’re using. For me, Cinnamon is too old-fashioned, it’s like you’re back to at least Windows 7 timing. Some people like it, but for me it’s just old and out of touch with the progress of UI’s.

    GNOME used in Ubuntu is good with app theming (yay for adwaita!), it is unique and minimalistic, but its overall design is just…not for everyone, and customization is heavily tied to unsafe practice of plugins which has been exploited many, many times.

    With all that said, try everything out in a VM or something and see what’s good for you. There are really no wrong choices!

    Inevitably, to some extent. But such enclaves will likely be small in size, which wouldn’t let the global scale conflict develop.

    States have power of all on behalf of certain group, which isn’t much true for the anarchist community.

    (With that said, I think anarchism is full of assumptions and I’m not sure it’s the ideal way forward; but it’s worth mentioning nonetheless)

    Which is something that we’ll have to deal with using internal forces.

    If it’s a global state, then there should be peacekeepers - the benefit here is that we can literally use armed forces of an entire world, though accountability is a must here. If it’s an anarchy - militias can help solve it - it would be a harder balance, but it’s doable and comes with less corruption.

    Also, people freely moving across the world would lead to a gradual unification of culture, which should take at least religious/racial/ethnical extremism out of the question.

    Without a state, what would constitute an army and what would it fight over?

    If Russians are freely allowed to roam into France, and French into Russia, what would be the matter of the war, and ultimately, what would define French or Russian as a nationality?

    One could argue that completely open borders, like in Schengen area, are practically nonexistent. You can cross them anytime, no one stops you.

    Though various countries in this scenario can still impose some restrictions and kick you out if you get caught somewhere on their territory.
