Maybe i'm going to repeat stuff everyone already knows here, but what happens when those folks aren't able to live their lives in peace as who they truly are is devastating (it's no surprise marginalized people have a way higher rate of suicide).
They're as good folks as anyone else, so making them feel miserable and ruining their lives every single day is more than despicable.
You don't have to understand it really, you just have to choose to not be a moron towards other people.
Generally, people accuse anybody who disagrees with the government on anything "bigots".
For example, Trudeau accused those who did not want to be forced to participate in the clinical trials of the experimental vaccine bigots, misogynists, and nazis.
I hate the word woke... it's a way to say "I can't be bothered to argue with someone who doesn't meet my world view, so I'm going to slap this label on you so I can sleep at night with blankets that affirm my biases."
I hope this makes it outside of fedi. Lot of “libertarians just asking questions” need to know that the people that actually make this shit aren’t cool with human rights violations
anywhere I go on the internet I always see this political crap (both left and right). Seems like politics are the only topic people can talk about... So sad to see people hating each other because of damn politicians. My question is: why?
@tek It doesn't affect how things trend, and they don't ban boosting; they just consider people on kernel.org boosting things to be considered an endorsement by their own users.
It's impressive though, the extent that anti communism propaganda has taken root in the states even years after ussr has fallen apart. People throw 'communist' at each other as if it was a swear word

Respect to Linus for the stance. Bigots have no place in any of my communities either.

Why is "let people live their own life" so hard for some people to accept?
Down with the tyrants who want to force everyone else to conform to their desires.

Why not exclude the mass murderers of the government from society instead?

Some people are pretty dumb - especially those who conflate "woke" and "communist" when these are along totally different dimensions
But then hatred is a pretty stupid emotion - one a smart opponent takes advantage of
