No, I am not talking about the operating system. I am talking about the philosophy of Ubuntu. There is a good reason the OS shares names with this culture, it actually sees itself as part of the Ubuntu movement. But more on that later.
Thank you for this awesome gif!
The Philosophy of Ubuntu
The term was coined in the 19th century in South Africa. It roughly translates to “kindness”. In the middle of the 20th century the movement and philosophy of Ubuntu started forming and has now reached many political thinkers and spiritual activists like www.lebenskraft.tv . The idea of the Ubuntu is rather simple: If people around you are unhappy you cannot be happy, so you try to be generous and kind hearted to others. It is a voluntaristic system - you can not force someone to care about others. There is even a natural urge to do so: would you stand idle when there is a small child in need and you could help? Do you really think this is moral thought ingrained into you by society? I believe it is a primal instinct and Ubuntu cherishes this instinct. Tellinger with his South African Party, is one of the most prominent ambassadors to Ubuntu.
I hope Tellinger does not mind me spreading the videos from his channel
My personal opinion
I am loving it! Ubuntu puts one of my reasons to be socialist first and creates an almost religious movement around it. Ubuntu also involves spiritual energy, but I know too little about that subject, maybe You can add something? I would love to know more. I am not a huge fan of Tellinger, though it might be because he is a politician. The notion of "no money" is also concerning to me. Money is a useful tool, it is just abused by the people in power. Thank you for pointing me to the very interesting and new culture of Ubuntu!

Ubuntu the software
*There are tons of free to use images of the Ubunutu logo - as you would expect
At my old work place I used Ubuntu, but I did not like it. It was mainly due to the setup though; someone thought it was a good idea to make one proper installation of the OS and clone it for all other PCs... I installed it on my private PC, when I was searching for free video editing software. It runs pretty smooth when you install it by yourself. It is much faster than Windows and pretty intuitive to understand.It is open source and meant to give the people a decent alternative to Windows and iOS. With all this talk about Ubuntu I think I will at least install it as an alternative OS again.
