> If it puts off any Alt-Right White Supremacists and drives them away from the Linux community, then that's an excellent outcome. What?! Why? How is getting a less feature rich/buggier kernal due to less devs a good thing? Or is it just that anything bad or exclusionary happening to your political enemies is a good thing?

How are White Supremacists not your political enemies, and why are you so concerned about their feelings?

And why are you advocating driving away minorities and anti-racist people from working on the Linux kernel by tolerating White Supremacists in violation of the Linux Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct, who consider other human beings genetically inferior and not deserving of the same rights and respect as white people? Are you ok with rapists and murderers, too, or do you just have a special place in your heart for defending White Supremacy? https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/code-of-conduct.html https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/code-of-condu... >Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include: >The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances >Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks >Public or private harassment >Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission >Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting White Supremacy is clearly inappropriate in a professional setting. Or do you disagree? Do you have a dog in this battle? Can you name any White Supremacist kernel hackers who the community can't get along without? You really need to take a deep look at yourself, and decide which side of history you're on. Advocating and defending White Supremacy online could and should have detrimental effect on your employability. Do you stand by your beliefs enough to share your real name with us, or do you insist on remaining anonymous?

  "Advocating driving away minorities" There is no evidence that the term "master" drives away minorities. As to driving away anti-racist people, a reason that comes to mind is that they make changes like this rather than actual productive work; in other words, their contribution seems so far to be clearly net-negative.

    That's a pretty pro-racist thing of you to say. You're the one arguing for tolerating White Supremacists, in direct violation of the Linux Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct. Do you really object to black people and other minorities working on the Linux kernel?

  > Are you ok with rapists and murderers, too, or do you just have a special place in your heart for defending White Supremacy? Well I got in trouble at work for defending pedophiles, so no, it's not just white supremacists I defend. It's everyone, including Muslims, fundamentalist YEC Christians, racists, trans people and the very woke. I mostly defend them by encouraging no politics where it isn't topical, but have also spoken up plenty of times. This is all horrifically off topic though...

    Well you've been very purposefully deceptive in your defense of racists in this thread, repeatedly attributing words and thoughts to me that I did not say and think, so there is probably a very good reason you got in trouble at work. You seem to have a lot of preconceived false notions that you project onto other people, and you're spending a lot more energy attacking people than defending them. I'm sure you co-workers and managers really cherish your argumentation techniques. If you get fired, Tucker Carlson is looking for a head writer. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tucker-carlson-addresses-racist-sexist-writer_n_5f07923dc5b6480493cd82f8 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tucker-carlson-addresses-raci... I'm sure you can find some other forum more appropriate for defending White Supremacy, like the ones Tucker Carlson's previous head writer hangs out on -- why don't you take it there instead of here, edgelord? https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Edgelord https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Edgelord

> How is getting a less feature rich/buggier kernal due to less devs a good thing? You don't really believe driving out the alt-right white supremacists would result in a smaller overall community, do you? They're a small group that has an outsized ability to repel other people.
