    I don’t see how this can be taken seriously;

    That’s because you’re thinking of Omarchy as a Linux distro, not as an open endorsement of fascism. Its goal isn’t to make a usable Linux distro, its to entrench fascists into Linux and the wider FOSS ecosystem.

      Like a restaurant that is a money laundering front for the mafia. You’re not supposed to actually eat there, ya know?

        The best pizza we had in college came from the place where the window by the front door had a spiderweb fracture and when you stood at the cash register you could see back into the kitchen where one old Italian guy was making pizza and six beefy Italian guys were standing around doing nothing.

          sometimes crime pizza is fucking fantastic! they just let somebody’s grandpa cook and consider more expensive ingredients an investment in their cover. same idea as Capone’s soup kitchens but much easier to hide money with
