Programmers are curious by nature. So it's not 2 words; it's 2 words + wikipedia article + news articles about it, just to know what he's writing about. All uncalled for.

Be a little more curious then, friend. The author lives in Portland, which has been experiencing federal brutalization for months. Same place where the feds are repeatedly violating standards for warfare by using chemical munitions on civilians and engaging in large-scale misinformation campaigns against immigrants.

It’s almost astonishing how you found his statement “uncalled for”, while neglecting these facts.

To be honest, I am more concerned about the Iranian government killing its own people.

Iran has already killed half as many people as the estimated casualties in the Israel-Palestine war.

Not everything revolves around USA.

I’m distraught by what’s happening there, too. Truly horrifying details emerged in the last week or so.

We must all not be discouraged from speaking truth to power, especially when power is abused - irrespective of country or creed!

ICE must be abolished. The people of Iran must have democracy. But only one of those things is within the author’s relative sphere of influence.
