I think particularly here on HN, I've seen a good deal of concern over github's social agenda and the perception that they've hired a lot of non-engineering folks to push that agenda.


I've only seen that among members of the alt-right.


The alt-right is apparently everyone's favorite new boogeyman for use in thought-free dismissal

It's always disappointing to see a self-described intellectual community give over so heavily to such an obviously broken thought process, but humans being the emotionally manipulable creatures they are, it makes sense.


IMO:

A lot of people seems to think they are smart because they belong to a powerful or politically correct group.

Also a lot of people seems to think they are smart because they are rooting for the underdog or just plain contrarian. ; )
