"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."
the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."
with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

Cold war hypothetical
@schrodingers_cat@rage.love nice of you to dismiss anything to the left of "the ussr would have been the savior of world communism" as "imperial core propaganda" when the legacy of the ussr is its red imperialism but i guess i'm just a shitlib idealist anarkkkiddie cuck for not going all in on the same damn colonialism with a red coat of paint right? plus the ussr didn't even really *lose* the cold war- it just collapsed from internal and external pressures, which happens to empires all the time.
ill wait for you to be the one to call for "left unity" after stabbing a half dozen nascent leftist movements in the back - or was that also just cia propaganda?
