Nothing about this is new - the right has harbored a particular hatred for "academics" and "intellectuals" since at least the anti-war and civil rights movements of the 1960s. Today's fear of "wokism" is just the prior generation's fear of "cultural marxism" with a new coat of paint.
But this kind of political talk is against the guidelines. Good hackers don't care about any of this. So Javascript is getting crazy, huh?
- e40 2y agoWhen the politics get crazy enough it bleeds into everything, which is why it's now acceptable to discuss here.
- krapp 2y agoI think you'll find that no matter how crazy it gets or what it bleeds into, it's never going to be acceptable to discuss here. As soon as people get a whiff of "politics" they're going to start flagging. Especially if they see the "T" word. The regime could be rolling dissidents into mass graves and the only valid point of discussion for most people here would be packing algorithms.
- andelink 2y agoForgive my ignorance, but what is the "T" word in this context?
