> The talk is about the very last statement "sometimes you have to drop your tools and make new ones"

Go ahead and make them. I see no army of white straight men with unix swastikas stopping everybody else from making their kernel/OS exactly the way they want it.

The talk is not about building new stuff. The talk is about attacking some people based on their race, gender and sexual orientation. The talk is about gaining power over a tool and a community, ousting the ones who built it because "it's wrong and we'll fix it". The talk is political with a thin veneer of tech.

The talk is what it is, the points are the one he makes, there's no emperor's clothes that only you can see but fly over my stupid old head. If the talk would be about building there would be a presentation of some code skeleton or at least some design schemas.
