not every politics-adjacent thread needs to devolve into "the wokes are coming for us all". You can disagree with the actions of progressives without making it this all-encompassing threat. Hell, I'm pretty left-wing and I'm fairly critical of some of the factions. Either way, I can't see anybody putting "must add a BLM banner to their website" to the licensing conditions of their FOSS code.

That would be a wonderful thing to able be do, if the woke brigade wasn't screaming "YOU'RE WITH US OR YOU'RE AGAINST US" a parent over. ;) Ignoring that isn't an option, unfortunately, believe me, that's been tried.

  Yeah but so what? Disagreements are going to happen in politics. Other people disliking your politics and vice-versa is not an existential threat. Anybody who legitimately makes a "liberals only" stand in their license will get forked and their usage will drop off.

Condemn or not, regardless you can still fork earlier versions. Materially, it's not a threat to you. > Considering that the developer just pulled a "no russians" stand with their software... Yeah and look at how much shit they're catching for it. People are forking and freezing earlier versions, he's getting raked through the coals, etc. Is this really the outcome conservatives are afraid of?

      > Kind of crappy whataboutism there don't you think? What if I'm a VPN user and my hard drive was wiped? Yeah it obviously sucks to be a victim of this behaviour, but the developer is being roundly condemned by everybody. I thought you were worried about this type of behaviour being encouraged by progressives? > What does this have to do with conservatives? Just a guess, it's usually conservatives that hand-wring this much about "woke" people.
