From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think we are getting to a point in the US where people are just going to start ignoring the government. People don't subscribe to institutions with no credibility and don't provide value in return.

Yeah, I've been saying for years that anything that isn't us sleeping, fucking, or running after our food is just made up by people.
The system can and does change, we just need it to change for the better of the majority, and in a day and age where we are as connected together as we are, we have the capability to actually utilize the advantage we have in numbers.
