Switched from W10 to EndeavourOS about two weeks ago. Happy so far. The full-screen W11 ads/W10 deprecation warnings were what pushed me over the edge.

Never forget this: Everyone participating and 'just following orders' is also responsible, from the highest bureaucrats and generals to the lowest public servants and soldiers. Couldn't have a death camp without everyone greenlighting and then Private John Doe following orders and building it.

Good fucking luck, USA. And may god have mercy on your souls.

They don't need them anymore. Every future election will be fixed.

What's their beef with Syria still?

Also straight, healthy and neurotypical.

No, he just wants back into the background and do shady things in obscurity again. We all know the rich can't and won't stop meddling.

The US is not a member of the Rome Statute, nor the ICJ. They've openly threatened those institutions with sanctions if they go after them or their citizens.

The ICJ/ICC are only for the powerless, fallen, disgraced. The big players just don't follow those institutions' orders, at best cherry-pick what to follow.

I'd say I'm well aware how this works.

Of course, the situations are different. Nazi Germany had to be broken and the trials were conducted locally by the winners. Can't just abduct high ranking military/politicians of foreign nations, that would set a bad precedent, and probably only work just exactly once. That's why no-one is really giddy to arrest Putin or any of his boot lickers, too much unpredictable fallout, probably literal fallout.

Just following orders... the Concentration Camp guards all said the same during the Nuremberg trials. Most of them got hanged. Just FYI.

We'll see what happens when their weakest start dying by the scores because Medicaid and social security are gone. If that and the concentration camps won't do it, what will? For now it looks like they might become a subdued peasant folk like the Russians. Their protests and political actions won't do anything because there is no-one listening to it, and more extreme opinions are nipped in the bud by aggressive censorship on all types of media.

Already prepared everything for the jump. Switched MS Office for LibreOffice, and Outlook for Betterbird. Tested install, configuration and access to backups in a VM. Next vacation I take I'll go for it. Mint is my choice of Distro, because of Steam/Gaming reasons. With the US being antagonistic, if not outright hostile, right now, and Microsoft having their disgusting Copilot AI Analysis Fingers in everything, it's the rational choice I think.
