@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me.

Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order.

I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you?

I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.

And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.

@gamingonlinux people trying to pick fights with Linus as if he isn't hardened by 40 years of mailing list drama

@gamingonlinux Maybe i'm going to repeat stuff everyone already knows here, but what happens when those folks aren't able to live their lives in peace as who they truly are is devastating (it's no surprise marginalized people have a way higher rate of suicide).

They're as good folks as anyone else, so making them feel miserable and ruining their lives every single day is more than despicable.

You don't have to understand it really, you just have to choose to not be a moron towards other people.

Linus gets it right.

They're as good folks as anyone else, so making them feel miserable and ruining their lives every single day is more than despicable.
