First they ruined Doctor Who (yes, the tenth season, screw you bob, or whatever she is), I remained silent - they're not coming for me.
Then they ruined Star Wars - it hurt, but I still said nothing - they're not coming for me, there's enough StarWars to last me a lifetime.
But now they are coming for Linux. I will not remain silent! Linux is my livelihood, it has nurtured me and made me the (cat) man I am today.
The new CoC fiasco and Linus Torvalds getting forced off the kernel dev team and Theo Ts'o being insulted publicly and forced off the team for personal preferences that should remain his and his alone is a travesty! Not to mention the hypocrisy of these actions, social justice is the proverbial fart in the 100 days of sermons.
This is an all out attack on competence and achievement. An attack on civilization at large. A result of raising a generation of spoiled brats who now have way too much voice and have never been taught the value of humility.
While the real nerds worked diligently to improve their skills, technical and social, create greatness and contribute to this world, whiny brats who never learned to deal with defeat, sacrifice and delay gratification were too busy covering up their inadequacy with green hair, piercings and overall dysfunctional behavior.
And now that every one is all grown up, turns out that you don't get participation rewards in the real world! Shocker, I know.
Human society has evolved by sacrifice, failure, immense effort, perseverance and finally triumph. In order to win someone must lose, in order to succeed someone must fail. Often enough, succeeding following a failure is just a matter of determination and effort, and success (in whatever form) finds those who did not give up.
Social justice warriors however, riding on the previous achievements of humanity, living comfortably thanks to the fruits of the labor of others, using the voice and freedom that many have fought and dies for, have decided that instead of bothering with all of that hard work and dedication, they can just appropriate that which has been created by people who aren't afraid to fail, those who take rejection not as a personal attack but as a challenge and focus on improving themselves instead of beating others into accepting their mediocrity.
And this is the age of mediocrity. That is what social justice is all about, mediocrity screaming at the top of it's lungs, trying to convince everyone that it's excellence. This trend of redefining reality needs to stop. It is dangerous and harmful. Over millennia humanity has honed it's ability to correlate cause with effect, to determine the best course of action and thinking, and cooperation in order to achieve the best result. In order to just just survive but to thrive! But as of late the infinite wisdom of previous generations has been challenged. And that's ok, Galileo, Vivaldi, Le Bon, Heaviside and many others have done so, but they also have CONTRIBUTED to existing wisdom of humanity. Social justice warriors only challenge and destroy without any real contributions.
And they do so because they are incapable of creating greatness. Only forcing mediocrity onto everyone around.
In the end, this ideology only brings destruction and misery into the world (Russia in the early 1900-s, but that's a story for another time).
We can not remain silent any longer, what's next? Maybe we should qualify mediocre surgeons, or qualify commercial pilots based not on their skill and ability but the fringe social group they identify themselves with. What kind of breaks for your car will you trust to stop your minivan full of kids, the ones that work or the ones that were designed by a non binary sis bal bla ba whatever that may or may not work because we're forbidden from questioning the quality
of design, lest we be labeled bigots. I know which I'll pick. Skin color does not run my TCP/IP stack, sexual orientation has no bearing on the way my the kernel allocates memory. Skillful coding and deep understanding of complex ideas does, not whining or perceived oppression.
Accusations and removal or talented team members only diminishes the quality and reliability, hence adaptation and competitiveness of the product, allowing M$ and G00gle to push their privacy invading, money grabbing, stifling and mediocre crapware onto us all without our consent. THAT is the real rape and those who enable it are the real rape apologists!
I believe this attack on the Linux kernel project is a coordinated one, using these useful idiots as the proverbial foot in the door, but no matter what I believe the important point is that social justice and identity politics, or politics in general have no place in Linux or OSS as a whole. The level of success that has been achieved so far is due to the insanely tolerant and unbiased philosophy of open source. Only one metric that matters, GOOD CODE, everything else is irrelevant. That's the way it was and that's the way it should remain. In fact it is my opinion that the Linux and the OSS community in general has achieved a level or equality and inclusiveness and (gasp) diversity that no sjw can ever dream of and they are jealous or the feats, technical as much as social and political that the OSS community has achieved.
I am convinced that the Linux kernel project will shake this social justice invasion like a bad roach infestation. And if not, then the anarchy will do it's job and a new, better project will come out of this. I remain hopeful.
Social justice does not belong in my software, my hardware or civilization on the whole, because it's not only unnecessary, obsolete and irrelevant, it's dangerous, and it will become deadly if not stopped now.
Peace and prosperity to all (except for unskilled whiners looking for a free ride)
