From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I see what you’re saying, but the fact that it can be ambiguous is actually what makes it so useful to fascist organizers.
They thrive on phrases that allow them to wink at each other when they want to, but claim innocence if someone calls them out.
Isn't that something done by any group being oppressed and not in power, regardless of what kind of cause they are for?
e.g. those who had capoeira and similar things that had martial arts disguised as other stuff, back when they couldn't practice partial arts.
Though I find it hard to understand why they still have to wink now, when there are literal state-sanctioned groups of armed people-robbers around, who are also fine getting filmed in the act.
When multiple countries' governments have switched from turning a blind eye, to actually endorsing such actions, what more are these groups trying to accomplish by using these deniability tactics?
