I didn't downvote you, but other people are because it seems you're misunderstanding what the author wrote.

For example, the "confident asshole" link goes to the author's own site. He's referring to himself as the "confident asshole". He's being tongue-in-cheek, funny, joking.

The "propaganda" is also a joke because, well, it's true that memory safety issues lead to security problems.

thanks a lot, that makes much more sense now! I'm just so used to "rage culture" and uninformed complaining that I tend to overreact.
