Holy sh... I didn't expect that Godwin's law would apply that quickly. IMHO, I'm also part of the problem and I think I am a horrible person, but at least I don't consider myself superior to anyone in any way no matter their race, gender, software philosophy or their political views as far as they don't fall in the tolerance paradox.

It's pretty well documented that they called their mailserver "Wolfsschanze" (which was one of Hitler's military bunkers). Whether or not that's just edgy behavior or not, I don't know, but my guess it's a bit of both considering suckless people have complained about "cultural marxism", which is a term with pretty straight lineage to the Nazi's "cultural bolshevism".

So... is that not a nazi reference? Why else would you preempt being "horrible".

By the way, just wanted to be sure about this: Tiki Torch parades have been documented since the XI century on the Pyrenees, I just wanted to be sure how old was the tradition. That's the first place that came to my mind and the place where I myself have gone down a hill with some other hundreds of people carrying a torch... When we finished, in the town in the valley, there was a reggae concert and most of the guys down the hill went there, no problems at all.

Actually my country had a fascist dictatorship until the end of the 70s. I'm old enough to have been hit by nazis in the early 90s. I have seen fascists in a parade and policemen doing nothing.

IMHO, software philosophy does not have anything to do with some developer philosophy. IMHO again, that is like comparing journaling filesystems and B+ trees as apology of gender-based violence because ReiserFS was one of the first mainstream filesystems that implemented it.

I think we mostly agree here. I just found the preemption curious.
