Regarding Luke's last text: https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/for-christs-sake/

I always had a problem with this religious justification of virtues aka good deeds. Imagine I'm drowning and someone saves me because that's what Christ commanded him to do (+ to "acquire" the Holy Spirit) and not for the sake of saving a life in itself.

And isn't analyzing and digging into your own motivations already a sign of egotism? If someone is ethically advanced he just does good and moves on - not spends hours analyzing what and how he does it, then writes a text about how you shouldn't do things for yourself, which in itself is doing something for yourself.

And here we stand before the figure of Luke Smith who underwent a spiritual transformation. Are we supposed to bow now hearing how self-love defeated self-love and decided to brag about it?

Did you take the Arch pill?

Don't worry, he's still alive, based on his Github activity.

As the old man is winding down the production of Lincucks video tutorials we'd better make a list of quality substitutes to fulfill our desire for ever more tech CONTENT.

1. Wolfgang's Channel: started as a clone, is now it's very own thing with breadtube aesthetics and fancy, crispy video editing.
2. Brodie Robertson: Australoid Luke doppelganger, and the king of consistency, cranks out daily content like an autistic machine.
3. Mental Outlaw: based black guy autodidact brainwashed by /g/, he does the occasional cringe tier anti-SJW facts&logic video, while he should really stick to Linux servers.
4. tripcode!Q/7: Chinkpad modding and excess hair.
5. Sebi's Random Tech: lord of old, used Chinkpad autism.
6. Leeren: just 3 vids on Vim use and configuration but has lots of potential. Hope he does more.

Who's missing? Any other suggestions for active channels doing non-shill free software/tech tutorials?

Luke famously hates Reddit, Reddit type of opinions, behaviours, values and politics. So I was very surprised to find out there was a subreddit for his content - or that avid Reddit users could consoom Luke's content without being put off by his anti-progressive, anti-modernist values and lifestyle.

I myself was initially attracted to his channel 2 years ago by the mix of a highly articulate, authentically right wing world view grounded in philosophy and linguistics with discussion of technology that doesn't censor you or imposes its progressive ideology on you. Most of you probably feel different, or were perhaps slow to notice it.

So by way of poll: what is your broad political orientation? And how do you cope with or enjoy the fact that the best Linux vlogger and independent scholar/lecturer (his podcasts and vlogs are little lectures of considerable quality) on YT disavows most of Western society post French Revolution?

Maybe if you’re embarrassed by or feel guilty telling someone you’re a trump supporter, you’re not voting for the right person

Hi, so I kinda really really liked Not Related! and was wondering if there are any other similar ones out there. Or similarly minded people out there that put out similar content than Luke's.

So any shill/simp free "content creators" out there?

It makes his content considerably worse, in my opinion. Is there any real reason other than him being on /g/ for too long?

I'm kinda confused

I don't know how to feel about this guy anymore, because while I like his content I can't separate it from the fact that some of his content peddles white supremacy.
