You can continue to pretend otherwise, but this is an ideological infiltration into a supposedly rational field. Downvotes or not I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

You may be superficially correct, I’m not sure, but honestly the name of the canonical git branch is not a hill worth dying on.

IMO the right move to battle the more draconian, Orwellian language policing of the cancel culture / “antiracism” dogma is to conserve your energy for the fights worth fighting. This just isn’t one of them.

That kind of thinking is why we have had riots destroying our cities, arsonists starting wildfires and burning churches, and spikes in the homicide rate this decade.

Yes, changing the name of github's default branch to something that makes more sense is the reason there are nationwide protests right now. For sure man

Isn't it fun when you can just say words out loud and make it look like you have a point?

[amazingman]

It really isn’t, but your kind of thinking is definitely driving the way the current administration is trying to spin those riots.

I mean the extent of my fighting is to type a comment in response to the post. I won't be organizing a group with signs and marching or anything.

It is my experience that people that call themselves rational are some of the least rational people.

Rationalists fail to realize two unfalsifiable facts:

A) Own shortcomings and lack of healthy self-doubt.

B) That life is 100% subjective. There is no objective authority to be found.
