but seriously what text editor do y’all use?

    Use Geany, which is open source and multi-platform, so it doesn’t entrench Windows’ monopoly like notepad++ does. You can download plugins here.

    By the way, the same sleazy dude was all over “Je suis Charlie” a few years ago. Terrorism in France, against racists whose job was to provoke the victims of western wars, was so important that it merited going out of his way to denounce it in notepad++, even if France had been directly perpetrating and aiding the american industrial-scale murder of Muslims for decades (none of it denounced in notepad++ of course).

    Western regimes can murder civilians for decades in Muslim countries, but the moment some radicalized Muslims reciprocate, then it’s the moment to launch the massive #JeSuisCharlie campaign. It’s a propaganda tactic which is also employed by apartheid Israel.

    Ironically, China, which hasn’t been involved in a single war in decades, had already seen terrorist attacks by the moment the #JeSuisCharlie came around (e.g. the attacks in 2009). Of course #JeSuisCharlie ignored all that. To these chauvinists, only white people matter, even if their regimes are responsible for funding forever wars in Muslim countries and imposing a global torture regime to target them. China’s attempts to combat terrorism through education and re-integration into society must be evil, because far-right fundamentalist Adrian Zenz and the CIA backed World Uyghur Congress told him so. It shouldn’t be surprising that non-white countries on the receiving end of imperialism, including Muslim ones, overwhelmingly support China’s attempts. Moreover, without the western Holy War on Muslim countries, which has prevented, by force, these countries from developing and has made radical groups gain power, it’s hard to argue that terrorist attacks in China would have occurred, at least to the same degree.

    Imperialist logic never made much sense. It’s rooted in racism: only white people can be victims (#JeSuisCharlie), only non-white people can be the perpetrators (Muslims and Chinese). And don’t you dare think that seven illegal wars of aggression against Muslim countries for decades are unorthodox or exceptionally evil (even when no other group of nations is doing the same). That’s just the way the world works according to these people.

      Thanks comrade! I’d never heard of this one. Checking it out now. Also a lot of recommendations for the terminal text editors in here. Y’all are badass. I have a hard time motivating myself to learn vim when I really don’t see myself ssh-ing into servers to edit configs and shit anytime soon.

        Well, I didn’t need to edit configs or use any SSH to get Vim to work. It worked as soon as I installed and opened it. I only later edited the .vimrc file to set some settings. If you just need a simple text editor without any additional features, there’s Nano and GEdit. Not sure if any of these exists for Windows though, I use Linux most of the time.

          I’ve used vim mostly for kicks and I could make my way around some code in there if I had to. The thing is, I don’t have to, so I don’t. I like using the terminal because hackerman, but also for my job and personal stuff I’m always in a GUI anyway, so in some ways it’s more work to open a terminal and vim it up, if that makes sense.
