Discussions involve reading and considering and responding to people, not whatever it is you're doing


Would you like to add anything constructive to this discussion or just insult me since you disagree with my politics?


If you're not going to read the reply or respond to the points, why should they?


is there something wrong with that?


Not at all, you can put any license on your code that you want.


This is so much easier to read, thank you


that sounds very interesting; do you have any idea which book this was?



this is literalist, black and white thinking that is one of the foundations of fascism

if there is a social conflict (and boy are there social conflicts), not talking about those social problems is tacit support for the dominant position. pretending that one's work life can be neatly compartmentalized and has no bearing on the rest of the world is a fantasy of those who value their own comfort over the well being of others


your refusal to understand politics will not make politics go away


This is coercion and it does the exact opposite of convincing others. Making people understand one's politics is surefire way to get the opposite result.

Also, if someone does that to me, the first thing that comes to mind is "Fuck off". Unapologetically.

Not a good way to convince people.


when you are part of a dominant social group this can indeed seem to be the case


using the word "woke" carries exactly zero weight with anyone other than people with the most basic primate-level understanding of social behavior

or more simply: by using that word you sound dumb

then again, maybe that's how you want to identify. who am I to say


Isn't it funny that the woke cancer employees want to shed the woke label, despite their claim of being "woke."


doubling down I see


if you don't mean that, then why use the word "absolute"?

if there are exceptions then it isn't absolute


Other than your first paragraph, which is reasonable, your name dropping is doing a poor job of hiding your very weak understanding of history, philosophy, and political theory.

Get off the internet and talk to an actual human who knows what they're talking about.
