Linux Hater's Blog

Some reckon he must really like Linux if he spend so much time writing about something he says he hates. But I think this blog reads more like a bitter ex lover. You don't have to still care about something to spend time dissing it, you just have to have a vindictive personality.

For the most part, the criticisms seem valid. This blog on "How to write a GNOME Application" certaintly rings true! Other posts, like "Das Boot" show the true nature of Linux Hater, someone who gets off on hating something.

The comments are full of pro-windows and pro-linux people battling it out over which OS is better. Problem is, the argument is moot. They both suck to some degree! Hell, its like two people arguing over which synchronised swimming team is better when in reality the sport sucks. Modern computers are a bit like that, they suck, but the OS-Tards that post there can't face the fact they Linux, Windows and Mac all share blame in the problems that modern computing cause. Namely the incessant need to upgrade, the horrendous waste through reinventing the wheel and planned obsolescence, and the fact that despite the sheer computing power that people keep purchasing, many companies STILL use manual systems, or the venerable "excel spreadsheet as a database" because the MSCE's that make up the "IT specialists" can't think outside the box.

Well, I use Linux because it sucks a little less than Windows, and because Mac hardware is for those that love to overspend.

And yeah, the Freedom part defiantely plays a role. People who only care about practicality are perfect prey, because their tunnel vision stops them seeing the bigger picture.

More on this soon!

How to bail the racists (part 2)

Here is a perfect example of my previous post.  Putting up a few pictures showing how the ethnic make up of the French soccer team has changed, then claiming that he is making no statement approving this change or disapproving it.  The changes to the soccer team are indicative of the changes to the nation as a whole.

Why does he do this?  Whats the point in posting the obvious?

Firstly, to draw people to his blog and create controversy.  The second, because he must know the kind of audience he has, is to again create discussion.  Due to his already stated position of 'neutrality', he can take any populist position.

Predictably, the 'respectable' conservatives largely see this as a positive! So the result of a left wing program for multiracialism in all Western nations is applauded by them!  Read the comments, they are politically correct to the core....

One comments seems to 'get it'.

Can I ask why it is racist to want to keep your own cultural identity and that can includes skin colour. 

If we talk about any race anywhere in the world especially if discussing indigenous peoples everyone screams about preserving their cultural and racial identity. Why can't we discuss the European or Anglo Saxon identity. Especially when considering that in many countries within the next 50 years in Europe the indigenous people will become minorities within their own countries. There is a European identity. The same people who scream racist would jump up and down on the spot if someone built a McDonalds in the middle of an indigenous reservation despite the fact that it would probably create job

Here is the crux of the matter.  It's considered 'racist' for any white person who explicelty opposes and government policy or ideological agenda which would result in their nation become a multiracial melting pot.  I hazard a guess that Andrew Bolt would lead the charge of anti-racist against anyone who said so.

Assembly Line Human believes that anyone who cheers or who thinks that an ideology which leads to any group of people being made a minority, or being assimilated out is pretty much supporting genocide.

Lets not mince with words here.  Anyone who says it would be great for Fijians to intermix with the Indians who are inhabiting their nation till they are all the 'one race' is essentially saying Fijians must go.

That goes with any European/Anglo nation.

How to bait the racists

Conservatives are so easy to rip into.  They just make it soooo easy!

It's even easier than tearing the Politically Correct left apart.

"Respectable" Conservative wonderboy Andrew Bolt is defending Indians here against racists.

Andrew Bolt's modus operandi seems to be to bitch, whinge and moan about how immigrants 'dont assimilate', about how Serbs, Greeks etc still defend their ancestral roots and their ancestral nations and complaint about immigration (when Howards not increasing it, coz thats OK when the Liberal part does it) in general.  In short, to kind of rile up sentiment.  To keep active the kind of people who though Pauline Hanson was great.

Now what happens when someone starts to speak against it and take it that little bit further?  He is the first to smash them down.  To put the ideas out there, and then criticise anyone for acting on it.  This is the deadly trap.  Questioning multiculturalism and 'diversity' and modern day immigration policy leads to some uncomfortable revelations.  One must NOT explore the issue!  Thats the lesson that must be learned.

He is quite clearly liberal to the core.  A tool of Political Correctness.  A means of diverting sentiment away from the increasing multiracialisation of the Western world and directing it into an ineffective corner.  In this manner, the status quo remain unchallenged, unquestioned.  The question isn't the issues which he puts the spotlight on, it's the issues which surround the spotlight and remain in the darkness.  One must NOT explore the issue!  That the lesson that must be learned.  Stay within the spotlight and don't look further.

The more rational keep within it, and those who express their opinions in a crude and tactless manner, such as abusing minorities only serve to reinforce the status quo.

Quite simply, the idea that any nation or ethnic group (particularly those which are white) which maintains its ethnic/racial and cultural heritage has no place in 'conservative' ideology.  It's odd, because Political Correctness and Liberalism, two ideals conservative supposedly oppose, prescribe exactly the same ideal.

Conservatism is nothing more than puppet opposition to Liberalism.  They are the Washington Generals to the Harley Globetrotters.

The world is complex, and by categorising political thought into 'left' and 'right', one gives people only two prescribed options to choose from.  The decisions have been made and the allowable options have been presented, with disallowable ones taken out.  It is opinion poll politics, where if your response doesn't fit into one of the predefined responses you are an 'other'.

Remember, the earth as been COOLING since 1998

Heatwave of 46.4 degrees C bakes city

That city being my home city of Melbourne, Australia

As you read this, remember that the resident 'conservative' windbag Andrew Bolt has been repeating the line that the earth has been cooling since 1998, and that instead of worrying about the warming of the earth, we should be worrying about the earth cooling too much.

I'm not writing this to state he is absolutely, positively WRONG.  I'm writing this so you REMEMBER what "Global Warming Denialists" have said.  Because when record temperatures come again and again, they will simply stop talking and it will all go down the memory hole.  He and his acolytes will remain 'respectable conservatives', because everyone else will forget what they have said, and they will not bring it up either.

"Conservative" Dirty Harry reviews Wall-E

I loved the movie Wall-E.  It was visually impressive, beautiful.  It was a simple movie, with a good message, devoid of tackyness, cheap parodies and pop culture references which plague a lot of animated 'family' movies.  The message was a timely one too.  Don't consume yourself into oblivion.  Don't rely on corporations/government (in Wall-E there is no distinction) to do everything for you.  Be independant, look after yourself and the planet.

One would think that 'conservatives', who have often lauded Pixar as "one of their own" would take to this movie.  But instead, it was utterly ravaged.

"Conservative" Dirty Harry review the movie here.

Guess what his prime gripe is?  It's a line uttered in the movie, when the CEO of Buy'n'Save, the ubiquitous corporation which seems to have a monopoly over the planet, says "stay the course".  It's a jab at Dubya, get it?  It's that significant, that I missed it the first time.  But it prompted this "conservative" to write this review.

Have a read and enjoy the antics of the 'Ra Ra Fox news 4eva' numbskulls.

Australia Full?

I'm not racist, says 'f*** off' teen

Here's whats interesting.  The roads become car parks necessitating added lanes squeezed on existing freeways and new freeways built.  The public transport system is in chaos due to unprecedented population growth.  Sometimes you literally can not fit onto the train.  Suburban sprawl continues unabated and the countries population is increasing at record levels, largely due to immigration policy which saw the number of people enter the country each year rise to above 150,000 annually.  Then you have the water shortages, the high cost and high competition for housing.

Keep in mind, that the media report on these issues on an almost daily basis.

Now why, oh why, would some teenagers get the idea that their part of the world is full?  Yet for pointing this out, they are 'racist'?

There isn't any legitimate means to have these policies responsible fot this growth honestly debated and questioned.  So the only real recourse, is to say F$%K off.

Yes, it's coarse, boarish and perhaps ineffective.  But look what happened to the last politician to raise concerns about immigration!

The problem squarely lies with government policy.  It is not the responsibility of potential immigrants to hold off their arrival to Australia, nor should they.

Australia's government should be looking after the interests of Australians.  Novel concept indeed.

Importing tension: Andrew Bolt's Blog

Conservative windbag Andrew Bolt, the resident "conservative" columnist and blogger for the contemptible Victorian newspaper, The Herald Sun brings up this snippet.

The Australian Unity Wellbeing Index report, compiled by Bob Cummins, professor of psychology at Deakin University, shows ... the combination of high density living, high numbers of young people, and high rates of immigrants in a community can be a recipe for disaffection. “When people don’t know the people living around them, it gives rise to bad thoughts,” Professor Cummins said. “They don’t feel as safe...” 

The survey also shows lower rates of wellbeing in communities where more than 40 per cent of residents were born overseas. This finding was likely to reflect the anxiety about “strangers” felt by the Australian-born in the area who were more likely to be interviewed for the survey, Professor Cummins said, rather than the feelings of the immigrants.

This is all well and good.  A disjointed, diverse community from a range of alien backgrounds would not prove the same cohesiveness, and sense of belonging that a more homogenous community would.

Of course, to question multiculturalism is akin to heresy these days.  One mustn't utter a dispariging word, or voice concern about rapidly changing suburbs.  If you feel even a little alienated by being surrounded by people who don't share your culture, or understand cultural terms, or are unable to empathise with your past experiences because their background was so different, then apparantely it is YOU who is the bigot.

The problem is, that if you critique multiculturalism, then people will accuse you of being anti-immigrant and of being racist.  But what is multiculturalism except the belief that a) White/Western socities are somehow 'deficient' and b) that these socities must forgo their cultural/ethnic composition for some arbitrary ideal which is held by Politically Correct types.

The only thing that Andrew Bolt seems to be capable of doing is bringing up these issues, but should anyone actually do more than talk about it, he will predictably attack them.

Assembly Line Human doesn't believe in 'isms'.  'Isms' are for people who can't think and need to buy prepackaged ideologies as if they were ready made hampers at the supermarket.
