    So absolutely every commercial activity is “political”? What is the political nature of selling sheep cheese for example?

      Is every commercial activity not political? Engaging in a commercial activity by definition has some socioeconomic impact(or else this activity would not be viable), and therefore is political in my opinion.

      There is a political movement opposing the making and selling of sheep cheese: Veganism -> the ethical part of it is political.

      How much do you pay the workers selling the cheese? -> political

      How are you allowed to buy sheep? Online? In a package? Are you allowed to clone it? -> political

      How many taxes do you pay - how much does “big sheep”? -> political

      So while it mostly is not a political act of you to sell the sheep-cheese there are a lot of political questions surrounding the selling of it.

      It can however also be a political act: selling sheep’s milk at a religious event that is strictly against sheep’s being milked by humans can be seen as a form of protest.

        Veganism may be political, but to construe selling sheep cheese as a political statement against veganism is absurd.

          I notice you glossed over all the other political aspects of selling sheep cheese that they listed.

          The price is political. Who you sell to is political. Who milks the sheep is political. Zoning for sheep grazing is political. Property is political. Feed is political. Animal welfare is political. Owning animals is political. It’s all politics, all the way down.

          Any time people are involved, politics follow. “Apolitical” is a lie told by people who want their politics to just be “normal”.

            Well, if you go deep down like that, indeed everything is political. Then let’s be more concrete. What political aspect of Omarchy itself do you find appaling. Let me hear of it. No not the guy developing it. You said, everything is political so tell me what is the political nature of Omarchy itself that is to be opposed.

              It literally advertises itself as “opinionated” and is being pushed as “non-woke” (whatever the fuck that means). It’s funded by Cloudfare, not simply because the distro needs money, but also because the developer is opposed to torrenting. It has closed-source chatbots like ChatGPT and Grok pre-installed into it. These are all political positions and choices.

              And it’s certainly a political choice to give your money to it and wear the merch (which are just advertisements you pay for the privilege to wear). Don’t be surprised if someone assumed you’re a Nick Fuentes fan if they recognize your swag.

                Opinionated in a Linux context means specific design choices, and a setup not for a wide audience but for a specific audience. In this case mostly programmers. That has nothing to do with “woke” or “non-woke”.

                I have not been aware of it being pushed as “non-woke”. Can you add a primary source for that claim? I could not find “non-woke” anywhere on the Omarchy site or its manual.

        I always suspected the miniature rail operators in the local city park are proponents of big rail feeding already the youngest with pro-rail propaganda!
