The real struggle from the start

In theory yes, and you are going to say all communist countries were not "real communism" now ? The USSR was known for its ruthless and violent political scenes. Leaders condemning their opponents' families to discredit them for example. North Korea gives all power to the supreme leader (a communist monarchy lmfao). Communist China is the closest to what you might you believe in but it's insanely violent in the backstage. The closer you are to higher seats of power, the more in danger you are.

On top of that any individual at the top can effectively enact their preferred policies over everyone. Millions died simply because the supreme leader ordered so.

Me when I can't scam the consumers by selling cheap electronics that I will support only until the next model.

China crying when the US does the same thing in return. Why does the CCP act so childish ?

No really why ? They are actively using exported digital and electronics goods to spy on everyone. They try to catch political dissidents outside their borders, spy on several government infrastructures and try to instigate a new form of colonialism in Africa, so what exactly are they crying about ?

I really despise these hypocrites.

The post if overall very naive and while I do agree with using Linux for IT work he doesn't give the best point either.

First of all, the customization. A lot of Linux users LOVE to point this out but 1. it isn't for everyone 2. it won't be compatible with every softwares. While modern Linux OS's tend to be well tailored for devs due to most the work being command bases and having version control, it will not work out for everyone either as for a lot people it won't be convenient. Most users just want an out of the box and ready to use OS rather than a never ending mess of fixing and customizing stuff.

Second, and the most stupid thing from this post, is that Linux will never have any malwares due to it being "well secured". The reason why linux malwares aren't viral is because about 3% of people using a computer in the world use linux, even less for work considering that a lot of these people use SteamOS for playing games. Other than that, Linux is a kernel, It runs code. So on this basis Linux is as vulnerable as windows. And considering the biggest attack vector isn't some fancy exploits but someone sitting on chair in front of his computer, you can guess that Linux isn't out of risk of any cyber attacks.

If you want to learn arch linux for the sake of learning about how to manually configure Linux yourself why not. However if you have done a minimal install of void linux (without xfce and bundled) you are not going to learn much.

Arch Linux can be great if you really want to customize your setup and have fun doing so. Arch can be great if you enjoy having a unique looking environment with an extensive wiki to help you doing so. However it is not the "best" unlike arch fans would say, pacman can have issues updating your system using the AUR and not being careful can sometimes lead you to annihilating your own OS at times (though I have heard that recent updates try to fix that). Besides the full customization it doesn't have much for it.

Gentoo is epitome of customization where you compile your OS and chose specific versions (even binaries) of what you want. Void Linux is really fast with the xbps package manager being nearly as fast as pacman and its unique init system which makes it book under 5 seconds using a SSD NVMe. Fedora, Debian and Pop OS are the most used because of how simple and stable they are, and having the largest amount of support from non FOSS developers.

So f you want to have fun customizing your stuff without having to compile everything: sure why not. Otherwise just try something else.

Tarantino will just make some of the best movies you ever watched just to film someone's feet or say the nword.

It depends of what distribution and overall understanding the mentality being the how to install thing stuff. Most people don't know what's a package manager for example, how to manage multiple disks on the computer etc... While some linux distros are streamlined and made simple, they can feel quite different to windows.
