It's not doublespeak. If intolerance is tolerated then that's not a tolerant environment. Poland and basically the entirety of Europe tried this with Germany and realized their mistake too late. Whenever I hear about "fascists" being pushed out of communities I usually think "hmmm I wonder who started the intolerance" (hint: probably the fascist). Obviously some people don't understand how these dynamics work anyway, if you're anything left of Hetlr you're a commie, if you're anything right of Mao, you're a fascist. Like, how about just focusing on tech and keeping opinions to yourself??
They should remember what revolutions normally do to revolutionaries. If they win, they'll have what they _actually_ fought for, like in the late Soviet Union, including: a criminal responsibility for being gay, a ban on abortions most of the time, a tax on being childless, women silently blocked from positions of power, a very public shaming for "immoral behavior" in case of extramarital sex, a disarmed and powerless population (they will probably admire the last, until they themselves get executed as spies or saboteurs). And a lot of other fancy things. And a tyrannical oligarchy or monarchy masquerading as a democracy and socialism.
With all the woke and similar propaganda entering and interfering with virtually everything in the so-called modern era, modern humans have degenerated further into absolute insanity and their society reflects this proclivity to absurdity. There's definitely something very, very mentally wrong with modern humans. Once again, they're set on destroying society with their irrational, extreme and subversive mentality and emotionally saturated propaganda as humanity has done on a frequent basis in the past. The witch hunts continue, albeit in a different form. They are full of hate and despise anything and everything that's not of their exclusionary and evil leanings.
this is on purpose ... the open source is getting ripped apart and destroyed as we speak ... linux , python , c++ , windows , games , emulators , compilers ... all of them are getting infiltrated
My projects dont have this issue since I host git with cgit where you cant make pull requests/issues, you can only clone the git repo and view it. If somebody wants to report an issue or contribute they email me directly, nobody else can see it. So there is no community to begin with, just patches, many of which are even anonymous.

Sorry Brian. Thirty years ago we could all get together and be nerds in peace. Transend borders and ideologies. It was a magical time to be alive. Now you must stake a hard line in the sand and refuse to include people based on their ideology and political stances. One side clearly wants to get along in peace and just talk about solving problems in a cool and interesting way. The other side doesn't care about the technology or the people. The only thing they want is to destroy and wield power. Don't kid yourself.
I rembember that in perl6 days Autrijus Tang wrote a fantastic perl6 interpreter (pugs) in a couple of weeks. Later she transitioned to Audrey Tang, and nobody cared. I never saw a discussion about her transition, just about her code in the pugs project. That's the way tolerance should work, not by code of conduct.
Looking back, it seemed in the 1970's and even more so in the 1980's we were on the way to a more open, more peaceful, friendly and understanding society. Not saying we were perfect, far from it. But we were moving forward quite nicely. Then the Clintons came into power, and they found it far more useful to THEIR agenda to stir up hatred and racial tensions. We've never been able to undo the damage they caused, it's only gotten progressively worse (no pun intended).
Being called a "Nazi" nowadays just means you're a rational human being. Just like how being called a "conspiracy theorist" means you're keeping up with real news.
I have been contributing to open source projects since the mid-90s. I have worked at a couple Open Source companies, and have over 200 open source repos on my Github. As a techno-libertarian, I have found most open source "communities" to be increasingly unwelcoming to those of us who built the software in the first place. Part of the problem is historically hacker culture was always welcoming and inclusive, you were excluded only based on hard skill caps. But what we need to do is also realize social engineering is a skill, and we need to not welcome bad actors. If someone is in your community not to focus on the product, you should kick them out. Sadly, most devs leading OS projects are blindsided by this sort of political maneuvering.
There needs to be some kind of political cultural antivirus developed that helps people as well as communities avoid getting captured by close minded ideology, no matter the purported political leaning of the same.
@@valknut9648 As implied initially, that thought process is a baked in safeguard. It's to keep you passive and on script while the ground under your feet is quietly undermined.
"If someone is *extremely* left of center, why would I want to kick them out?" Do you see what they're doing now? *That* is why you would want to remove them. Because if you do not, they will do what *extemists* do - purge everyone that disagrees with them, and cause the downfall of the project/company. This does not apply solely to left wing extremists, but all extremists. The word 'extreme/extremist' is the operative issue at hand.
True. It's another flavor of "embrace, extend, extinguish" but for people instead of software. We need a good three-word version for woke infiltration and purge that reminds programmers of Microsoft's three e's.

When one identifies as a woman, his identity is not for debate. But when someone identifies as “not a nazi”, suddenly the same people will promote classification based on objective criteria. According to their definitions of “nazi” of course, but still. They will suddenly switch the conversation away from respecting self identification without questions. Funny how that works, huh?
The people destroying these projects from the inside are the women that everyone was so eager to attract and who were given power as a result of pretending that "community work", writing documentation, answering user questions etc. were as valuable contributions as code.

Yes, someone in an adjacent team to me was working on all those edits for the kernel. At my brother's job they can no longer refer to assembly/alignment tools as "jigs".
It was also about whitelist and blacklist. I believe it was firefox that already changed all the blacklist and whitelist to like allowlist and blocklist or whatever
As a certified trainer, we got the same "talk" teachers (should) get. If politics, religion or sports ever comes up, cut it short and move the conversation along. Because unless you're teaching something adjacent, it has NOTHING to do with the subject matter and will only generate division (at best) and ill will (at worst). When it comes to software, my stance is that it's the same. If it's not about the code, the features, etc, it has no place, so cut it short and move it along.
So you have been lucky until now. With woke activists, if you ignore their loaded questions i.e. "are you a dranzfobe?" they will start rioting and demonstrating, until you have to "discuss" with them. That happens in high schools and universities. And then they've got you if you do not have the support of the school director.
on the commit that 'suspended' him somebody points out "you forgot to mention the reason he was suspended" to which the moderation person (mweinelt) responds "We reserve that right. People with a stake in the project can ask privately."
There is no negotiating with people who want to destroy. The people that matter are the ones who fall for the rhetoric and ally with them. They need to be utterly intolerant of anyone using these destructive tactics. The people employing these tactics rely on others trying to work with them.
Lunduke, I got sent this video by my friend. You are 100% right here. Politics have no place in software development, and the stuff that's taking over the open source projects is wild. Keep up the Gods work, subscribed to both UA-cam and X Twitter!
Good point - calling someone a "Nazi" in a forum on the Internet is making a defamatory statement in writing and is Libel - demand all such statements be immediately deleted and then start taking legal action against the perpetrator as well as the forum.
These people are the worst. Bryan Lunduke is doing God's work reporting on it but I don't actually watch or read much because it's just so simultaneously depressing and enraging and there's nothing I can do about it.
It may seem like it's this bad everywhere but it isn't. I'm involved in all sorts of open source projects without getting into arguments with people about political things. It is possible to work on open source projects and have everyone agree that the technological aspects are all that's important. But, it saddens me to hear that my experience is not universal.
Exactly. Same here. So many comments are spreading unnecessary FUD over these lunatics. Viewers are very quick to forget that Lunduke earns off of entertainment/clicks so it's in his best interest to make things seem far worse than they are. Keep on keeping on folks and stay frosty.
In the future, these preemptive justifications for being blunt will seem absolutely absurd. Today they'll rip you apart for saying it, tomorrow they'll claim that they were always saying it themselves.

Since many of these diversitists want to kick us out of opensource projects, maybe the right mindset is to use the project anyway, and consider it piracy? I'd rather be a pirate than an NPC... any day. Also remember, one of men greatest power is to walk away and make your own. maybe fork project and prefix/suffix them with NW (Non Woke)
For some reason the algorithm put this in my stream… I have nothing to do with Linux. But I see similar intolerance in kink/BDSM communities especially in online Discord communities. I’m a libertarian and am happy to socialize with anyone and try to avoid politics; but it’s annoying when people post Marxist memes etc, flaunt far left views as if of course everyone agrees, and requires people to state pronouns to go to events. It’s cultural cancer.
Sorting things into toddler tier right vs left, color vs color, is just plain dumb and part of the problem. Everyone has and uses a left hand, whether dominantly or as a helper hand. To call these people "left wing" falsely and implicitly legitimizes them. They're not legitimate, they're an algae bloom, a cancer. The metaphor doesn't even work beyond that, they're not serving a helper or modulatory role to the right hand, nor are they capable of doing what the right does. It's just another part of "Satan's puppet show", two hands connected to the same entity. Satan meaning "Adversary" of course.
They want to fight the good fight but it ended 80 years ago. Today the good fight is against themselves but they're so well dug-in nobody can make any advances.
To think, Bryan, this is the field I'm trying to break into. Software engineering never had this problem when I was first starting my journey as a computer technician almost 30 years ago. Either at 50 I'm just an old man or just an old school guy.
Noooo, not Ladybird .. I really hope that project continues to develop; I'm looking forward to using it .. I guess we have no choice but to separate projects by political spectrum going forward so we can stay away from the ones run by extremists. And we also need to do a better job of keeping extremists out of our projects so this doesn't happen again in the future.
Let's call the things what they really are. "Activists", "liberals" and "anti-fascists" should be called neo-fascists and manipulators. "Inclusivity" should be called racism and discrimination. "Transition" should be called a fetishist cosplay, mutіlatiоn or cаstrаtіоn, depending on the severity of the case. Honest people should stop being tolerant to liars, oppressors, hijackers and unscrupulous bureaucrats. Btw I'm what many conservative people would label a leftie, a socialist or (Cthulhu forbid) a communist.
There's the thing. I have no problem with transitioning, I just don't think gender dysphoria is anywhere NEAR the level the manipulators claim. I might venture a guess it's in a single percent of the numbers the wokesters are claiming. And while transitioning at a younger age might be physically easier, I feel it is a decision that should ONLY be made when someone reaches adulthood. And it should only be decided by the person themselves, after serious and extensive consideration, with a full understanding of ALL the factors. It is not a decision to be forced on children who are still trying to understand who they are.
These people are among the reasons that I stopped using and caring about open source software. They weren't the only reason, I wrote an article explaining all of my reasons, but they were among the reasons.

Nixos is by now too big to be forked. Same for redhat. But redhat even has corporate backing so I'm not worrying about those empires. It's the true community ones I worry about
I’m doubtful the far left will ever be open to conversation. In the long run I think you’re better off forking. Unfortunately that’s expensive in many ways. Im also of the mind that you shouldn’t let crazy people stop you from using good tech. Just don’t fund the crazies. As long as your usage of the tech isn’t affected. One concern being that their “inclusive” ideology may lead to security issues. If you’re avoiding projects or tech because they’re run by the far left, you won’t be using much tech. And then they win. They forced you to miss out on good projects that they hijacked. Use their tech for free. Get to know people in the community who share your views. If you can, bring your skills to the table and attempt to fork. And maybe, just maybe, your fork will gain traction. It’s difficult and expensive, but if it’s a bigger enough issue, it may be the only way forward.
Just pirate or steal their code, It's open source anyway. What are they gonna do, make it Closed source? If they do that they just shot themselves in the foot.
PolyMC / PrismLauncher debacle is one of the things I think should be covered in a postmortem PolyMC was attacked - and quite successfully by the rainbow mafia forked it and actively astro-turf it in reddit minecraft channels. What I think is important, is that if you're playing modded minecraft right now, you are probably using PrismMC because they successfully gaslit the community.
Don't know much about what happened, but I kinda blame the owner. From what I heard he banned everyone from the project, not even sparing the people who didn't support a COC. I would have just said no to the COC, or made a non liberal one. That might have angered them but it wouldn't have destroyed the project overnight.
@@Silverdev2482 i got to know him, he was gatekeeping and did his job. if you look at their fork it's just a parasite merging his work, they're just a bunch of janitors who don't actually create anything this is one of the downsides of open source, he can't get rid of them without just not developing polymc anymore and thus letting it and it's fork stagnate
Dammit! I was just looking at Nix as a package manager and now it's another project affected by this trash. it's getting difficult to find excellent projects not captured by this madness.
Fortunately or unfortunately, human beings reach an age early in life when many of them believe they have to take a stand against "something"; some injustice or perceived slight, whether it affects them personally or a neighbor. I can understand this. I had such tendencies when I was young and thought I could change the world. What I cannot understand is how smart people with some miles under their belt still engage in this messianic, my way or the highway behavior. It's like they never grow out of it. And anyone who does have even a smidgen of perspective seem to be rolling out the red carpet for these troublemakers who will later have their heads on a pike. The fact that it's happening in the heart of the tech sector is all the more worrying, as I can't believe any of them know how to code or do anything apart from saber-rattling.
We need an open source license that grants usage and rights if (and only if) it is never used by any individuals or organisations that practice censorship or discrimination of any opinion that is not illegal.
i don't get it. why isn't it like whereever the founder goes that's what nixos is? Isn't that the point of open source that you just can leave and make your own version? I'm pretty sure, that the activists are contributing absolutly nothing of value.

A phobia is an irrational fear. None of the popular "phobias" actually exist. In most cases they are extremely well founded positions. Again, textbook kommie.
I'm very conservative and I must say this is a bad line of argumentation. A leftist could easily win this argument just by showing the word "hydrophobic", where "phobic" is not to be understood as a literal fear, but as something like "repelled by it", which is a meaning consistent with the current popular phobias.
Your claim can also be categorized as a Root Fallacy, where you get an incorrect interpretation of a word based on the meaning of its root. For exemple, looking for the roots of hippopotamus you get river + horse, but a hippopotamus is not a horse.

very interesting question, when i see these activists attacking Ladybird i am thinking about the multi-billion dollar organization that is mozilla funded by george soros and such with social causes and groups that has a cause of existence and uses firefox as a front, Ladybird is an existential threat to their gigantic profit for the woke mafia using money and laundering through mozilla, if ladybird rises to importance, people will abandon firefox like that, and they will not donate anymore to mozilla, so the activists are crazy with Ladybird... we could say of other projects that extensively impose their will through a product or service that has monopoly, so if free and open source, free people from the clutches of microsoft spy network, from their social medias, from their stupid stuff, all the reason they have to kill such projects or take them over so people cant have nowhere to run from their claws and obey every order they impose onto the public.
mozilla acts like an NGO's, and NGO's are the tool of the billionaires, the 1% mafia, the oligarchies, the economic hitmans use to fund radical organizations for countries desestabilization, so organizations like Linux Foundation or mozilla becomes a tool of the billionaire class, the bourgoisie that the extremist left hate so much but love their money.
Cui bono? To the benefit of large corporations, of course. They are whom modern-day "lefties" serve. Call "lefties" their real name, Neo-fascists, and the puzzle is solved, all pieces in place.

There is a real problem with this double-think over the meaning of “openness and inclusivity” and it can be intensely toxic… That said, this isn’t really an inherently ‘leftist’ attribute I don’t think - I know a lot of lefty people who share these kinds of concerns and indeed other individuals with the kinds of extremely intolerant attitudes you describe who at times really derail the internal politics of activist communities as well.

I have been contributing to open source projects since the mid-90s. I have worked at a couple Open Source companies, and have over 200 open source repos on my Github. As a techno-libertarian, I have found most open source "communities" to be increasingly unwelcoming to those of us who built the software in the first place. Part of the problem is historically hacker culture was always welcoming and inclusive, you were excluded only based on hard skill caps. But what we need to do is also realize social engineering is a skill, and we need to not welcome bad actors. If someone is in your community not to focus on the product, you should kick them out. Sadly, most devs leading OS projects are blindsided by this sort of political maneuvering.
There needs to be some kind of political cultural antivirus developed that helps people as well as communities avoid getting captured by close minded ideology, no matter the purported political leaning of the same.
Turns out FOSS had a kill switch built in.
Yeah, humans. Glad that not the case anywhere else.
What do you mean "kill switch"? FOSS isn't a single organization and many projects may be forked to be just as easily spearheaded with sane people.
@@valknut9648 As implied initially, that thought process is a baked in safeguard. It's to keep you passive and on script while the ground under your feet is quietly undermined.
"If someone is *extremely* left of center, why would I want to kick them out?"
Do you see what they're doing now? *That* is why you would want to remove them. Because if you do not, they will do what *extemists* do - purge everyone that disagrees with them, and cause the downfall of the project/company. This does not apply solely to left wing extremists, but all extremists. The word 'extreme/extremist' is the operative issue at hand.
True. It's another flavor of "embrace, extend, extinguish" but for people instead of software. We need a good three-word version for woke infiltration and purge that reminds programmers of Microsoft's three e's.

@@AdroSlice You can't change people's minds when information and logic hasn't informed their current position.
Further, it's actually much better to purge activists for the health of the project. Having them purging technical people who aren't activists harms the health of the project. This is entirely asymmetric.

When one identifies as a woman, his identity is not for debate.
But when someone identifies as “not a nazi”, suddenly the same people will promote classification based on objective criteria. According to their definitions of “nazi” of course, but still. They will suddenly switch the conversation away from respecting self identification without questions. Funny how that works, huh?
The people destroying these projects from the inside are the women that everyone was so eager to attract and who were given power as a result of pretending that "community work", writing documentation, answering user questions etc. were as valuable contributions as code.
This is exactly it. The elephant in the room. I've worked in tech for 30 years and have seen this multiple times with my own eyes.

Yes, someone in an adjacent team to me was working on all those edits for the kernel. At my brother's job they can no longer refer to assembly/alignment tools as "jigs".
It’s utterly ridiculous. I will always name my primary branch “master” out of principle.
It was also about whitelist and blacklist. I believe it was firefox that already changed all the blacklist and whitelist to like allowlist and blocklist or whatever
As a certified trainer, we got the same "talk" teachers (should) get. If politics, religion or sports ever comes up, cut it short and move the conversation along. Because unless you're teaching something adjacent, it has NOTHING to do with the subject matter and will only generate division (at best) and ill will (at worst). When it comes to software, my stance is that it's the same. If it's not about the code, the features, etc, it has no place, so cut it short and move it along.
So you have been lucky until now.
With woke activists, if you ignore their loaded questions i.e. "are you a dranzfobe?" they will start rioting and demonstrating, until you have to "discuss" with them.
That happens in high schools and universities.
And then they've got you if you do not have the support of the school director.
on the commit that 'suspended' him somebody points out "you forgot to mention the reason he was suspended" to which the moderation person (mweinelt) responds "We reserve that right. People with a stake in the project can ask privately."
There is no negotiating with people who want to destroy. The people that matter are the ones who fall for the rhetoric and ally with them. They need to be utterly intolerant of anyone using these destructive tactics. The people employing these tactics rely on others trying to work with them.

For some reason the algorithm put this in my stream… I have nothing to do with Linux. But I see similar intolerance in kink/BDSM communities especially in online Discord communities. I’m a libertarian and am happy to socialize with anyone and try to avoid politics; but it’s annoying when people post Marxist memes etc, flaunt far left views as if of course everyone agrees, and requires people to state pronouns to go to events. It’s cultural cancer.

This is strategic. The open source movement is a real thorn in the side of software-as-a-service and perpetual subscriptions.
This HAS been the problem past 10 years. It will only get worse of course.
Sorting things into toddler tier right vs left, color vs color, is just plain dumb and part of the problem. Everyone has and uses a left hand, whether dominantly or as a helper hand. To call these people "left wing" falsely and implicitly legitimizes them. They're not legitimate, they're an algae bloom, a cancer. The metaphor doesn't even work beyond that, they're not serving a helper or modulatory role to the right hand, nor are they capable of doing what the right does. It's just another part of "Satan's puppet show", two hands connected to the same entity. Satan meaning "Adversary" of course.
This happened way before any of you realized, yes it's ongoing, but it's been going for a very long time... Fork your hearts out.

Let's call the things what they really are. "Activists", "liberals" and "anti-fascists" should be called neo-fascists and manipulators. "Inclusivity" should be called racism and discrimination. "Transition" should be called a fetishist cosplay, mutіlatiоn or cаstrаtіоn, depending on the severity of the case. Honest people should stop being tolerant to liars, oppressors, hijackers and unscrupulous bureaucrats. Btw I'm what many conservative people would label a leftie, a socialist or (Cthulhu forbid) a communist.
There's the thing. I have no problem with transitioning, I just don't think gender dysphoria is anywhere NEAR the level the manipulators claim. I might venture a guess it's in a single percent of the numbers the wokesters are claiming.
And while transitioning at a younger age might be physically easier, I feel it is a decision that should ONLY be made when someone reaches adulthood. And it should only be decided by the person themselves, after serious and extensive consideration, with a full understanding of ALL the factors. It is not a decision to be forced on children who are still trying to understand who they are.

I’m doubtful the far left will ever be open to conversation. In the long run I think you’re better off forking. Unfortunately that’s expensive in many ways.
Im also of the mind that you shouldn’t let crazy people stop you from using good tech. Just don’t fund the crazies. As long as your usage of the tech isn’t affected. One concern being that their “inclusive” ideology may lead to security issues. If you’re avoiding projects or tech because they’re run by the far left, you won’t be using much tech. And then they win. They forced you to miss out on good projects that they hijacked.
Use their tech for free. Get to know people in the community who share your views. If you can, bring your skills to the table and attempt to fork. And maybe, just maybe, your fork will gain traction. It’s difficult and expensive, but if it’s a bigger enough issue, it may be the only way forward.
Just pirate or steal their code, It's open source anyway. What are they gonna do, make it Closed source? If they do that they just shot themselves in the foot.
PolyMC / PrismLauncher debacle is one of the things I think should be covered in a postmortem
PolyMC was attacked - and quite successfully by the rainbow mafia forked it and actively astro-turf it in reddit minecraft channels.

@lunduke should totally cover this, I've played minecraft for years, I remember when this happened. I wasn't really clear what the deal was.

And anyone who does have even a smidgen of perspective seem to be rolling out the red carpet for these troublemakers who will later have their heads on a pike.

It's much like Hollywood and the BBC: rather than creating their own original characters and shows/movies, they'd prefer to take over an existing "intellectual property" and destroy it according to their own ideologies.

very interesting question, when i see these activists attacking Ladybird i am thinking about the multi-billion dollar organization that is mozilla funded by george soros and such with social causes and groups that has a cause of existence and uses firefox as a front, Ladybird is an existential threat to their gigantic profit for the woke mafia using money and laundering through mozilla, if ladybird rises to importance, people will abandon firefox like that, and they will not donate anymore to mozilla, so the activists are crazy with Ladybird... we could say of other projects that extensively impose their will through a product or service that has monopoly, so if free and open source, free people from the clutches of microsoft spy network, from their social medias, from their stupid stuff, all the reason they have to kill such projects or take them over so people cant have nowhere to run from their claws and obey every order they impose onto the public.
mozilla acts like an NGO's, and NGO's are the tool of the billionaires, the 1% mafia, the oligarchies, the economic hitmans use to fund radical organizations for countries desestabilization, so organizations like Linux Foundation or mozilla becomes a tool of the billionaire class, the bourgoisie that the extremist left hate so much but love their money.
