Jesus, what a reach for two projects run by normal dudes.

The open source community is filled with people on the left side trying to bring down people they disagree with. You can tolerate them, or fork away and leave their "shitty project run by fascists" instead of witch hunting and name calling anyone you dissagree with

fascists guy: has an opinion

leftist guy: wants to witch hunt a guy for his opinion amd get him kicked out of his own project

like it or not, who's being fascist? you know it well.

    Hey, hi, trans person here. Calling my mere existence "political" is not "just an opinion". Rejecting a PR to change "he" to "they" in some code comments is also just a stupid hill to die on. No singular they is basically baby's first edgy opinion.

    Sorry which are we talking about the rejected the PR, DHH or kling?

    I suspect its DHH just making sure

    Edit: Found it

    Kling rejected with: “This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.”

    For SerenityOS documentation to use a singular they to not assume gender.

    Edit 2: For the record, this is even more stupid than you think. The documentation was written with gendered language for a male reader only in mind.

    "Hey, I fixed your bad writing"

    "POLITICS?!1?!%?!"

    The tweet about Kirk has some firm context with this. I'd call it pretty dang likely that kling is a fan....

    You yourself are tagging the fascist guy as a fascist. Not all opinions are just opinions.

    Who's the real fascist?
    The one you tagged as such.

    I'm labeling him that to make clear the irony of the situation

    the supposedly "fascist" guy: has an opinion

    the totaly "moderate" leftist guy: wants him gone even from his own project from it

    hope I made myself clear now 👍

    No, you did, but my point still stands. Not all opinions are just an opinion.

    Person A: yeh we need to accept shootings. Empathy is damaging. So much more damaging crap.

    Person B: they debated, such good people, we need more like them.

    Yeah. No? My point is that there's a reason they get tagged as fascists or fascists apologists, they have fascist opinions or condone/glorify people saying them.

    "Has an opinion" is an unacceptable generalisation in this case.
