I literally got information from Wikipedia. The wife believed that the end of the world was nigh. Now I will admit, even back then, you didn’t need to believe the end of the world was nigh to not trust the government. But let’s be frank, ruby ridge was not on the same level as the bonus army, or the battle of Blair mountain, or Kent state.

If you think I shoot out between a conspiratorial family who believed at the end of the world was nigh and group of incompetent cops is equivalent to the battle of Blair mountain, then frankly, I think it’s you that’s fallen for the propaganda.

Ruby Ridge was a shootout between a family of paranoid religious whackjobs and the feds after they cocked up handing a guy a warrant, which eventually got taken by what today would be called “Magats” as a rallying cry.

• Bonus army saw 17,000 vets, 26,000 supporters against the US Army and their tanks.
• Kent State was a load of unarmed college kids against The Ohio National Guard.
• Blair Mountain was 10,000 coal minters against The Police, Army, and a Pinkerton Company.

They call make Ruby Ridge look like a bar squabble.

Oh my sweet summer child, the United States has had several tiananmen Square style incidents.

Look up the bonus army, Kent state, battle of Blair mountain…

Sean Connery? I thought you were dead!

I use plain Arch, but if you are just gonna use it as a media center, use Debian or something like it. A media center doesn’t need to be up to date if you’re just using it for TV and retro gaming. However, how mediocre are we talking? Are you intending to run full steam games or are you planning on streaming them from another computer?

If the latter, I think Debian or even a healthy rPi running RetroPie might be up your alley because you can install Kodi and SteamLink on that.
