Alright. Lets say in any group of people you have a normal distribution of people caring about the thing you care about. On the left, people dont care at all. On the right people think its the most important thing on the planet.
An argument that suggests people dont want to talk about the things you want to talk about and then uses fabricated classes of thinkers to suggest the things you care about are the grounded ones is just well written flame bait. You can easily find a set of people online who can argue about the garbage collector behaviour of several languages: thats actually pretty cool. But saying people arent hackers because they dont want to discuss it the same way is literally defining a set of people to exclude them from your “group”.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoIt occurs to me that if you buy into the concept that there are "posers" and also "the real deal", then the first thing the posers should do is start whining about "gatekeeping" and how awful it is. It's just the best strategy considering their lack of merit. If the terminology "gatekeeping" hasn't been invented yet, then it would be strategic to invent that word.
