It specifically needs to run Linux.. also there is a literal war about which distro it should use

4chan was simply where everyone banned for extreme views everywhere else went because there were no rules or close to none.

Now as algorithms of social media sites have been chosen to dictate our daily news cycle, discussion topics and visibility of culture by engagement metrics alone, as are dominated by flashy, extremist content that appeals to our lowest instincts. Before humans curated content by trying to use human reasoning instead of relying on instinct alone. I think we have taken a step backwards in evolution culturally.

This, plus everyone is concerned with engagement. If I say a perfectly normal statement on Facebook or X or whatever, no one will care so no one will comment or interact with it. If I say that Jesus wants us to make America white again, even the people who disagree with me will only be boosting my message by commenting.

People even use centralism as a weapon as well though. They push the idea that the correct position in any debate is slap bang in the middle. Sometimes there is a demonstrably correct answer, and sitting in the middle is a bad thing.

But they'll argue to the death that sitting on the fence is the best thing to do in every situation. I've had people claim that the Ukrainians should just negotiate with Russia (assuming that would be even be possible) because that would be the middle option between fighting them and surrendering.

Internet also helps gather these people together.

In the past if you were a "weird person" you would not find too many people that resonated with you and eventually many would just "normalize".
Now doesn't matter what kind of shitty take you have, there are always some group of people who thinks the same and will echoing each other

One factual point: we haven't tried communism, we tried socialism. Communism was more of a faraway ideal.

Not debating substance of the claims, as debate not asked for.

It's an exaggeration about the stereotypical opinions from those platforms

Plenty of people with moderate views are passionate about politics and love to talk about it. Its just that they talk about boring stuff like policy positions and numbers.

They're voting in anti-immgrant right wing politicians. Same with Germany, Spain, and France

No country in Northern Europe has Socialism. They have a strong social welfare system on top of a capitalist economy. Aka Social Democracy. Not even close to socialism.

"Communism is inherently racist and homophobic" or "All white people never fail"?

Primitive communism has, just not industrial or post industrial.
