What is?

Trolling.

| This list is supposed to be about Linux - something that transcends

What!?

| Linux also fails to fit into any political philosophy. It may seem
| leftest in the way everyone shares, yet it is aggressively
| competitive/capitalistic in the "survival of the fittest" of packages
| (something quite missing in what is left of todays the free enterprise
| system - now sadly corrupt and bordering on socialism). It is also
| embraced and sponsored by capitalist corporations. I would think Linux
| is Libertarian if anything.

I believe we've been calling our 'political philosophy' 'open
source/free software' for quite some time.

| In the next months we will all get bombarded to distraction with content
| intended to influence our votes - I suggest we keep this a pol free zone.

| Try alt.politics instead.

Sure, don't talk about politics with the people you know because God
knows we don't have to live with them when the elections are over and
the laws are made.

What planet are you from?
