Most opensource project issue trackers now experiencing same.
Master/slave? ...
What's funny here is that these authoritarians are functioning as masters. So they ought to start by eliminating themselves ;) <snip>
But does seem they forgot to destroy some devices in their PC's first to set proper example.
OK, they oughta nuke their PCs first. <snip>
Of far more important matter to this forum...
Remember, authoritarians also deploying some of the same SJW style methods to condition you susceptible so that you will remove strong crypto, decentralization, privacy, p2p, anonymity, cryptocurrency, distributed voluntary cooperation, etc... the very cypherpunk cryptoanarchism... from your code.
Yep, they're a bunch of fucking thieves and rapists ;)
Be aware of that, don't fall susceptible, continue writing the cypherpunk code of cryptoanarchism. May it yield a more free peaceful forceless loving world.
"Do what thou wilt. Love is the law. Love under will."
I strongly suspect the people who are pushing for these things fall into two camps. The first camp are people who genuinely want to control the language, and by proxy, thought. These are very dangerous people and should be resisted at all times.
Not just resisted. They must be killed after their first offense.
The second camp are people who genuinely want to do something so they can be a part of this current trend and feel like they are participating in a meaningful way. These are ordinary decent people, but are certainly influenced by the bluster and actions of the first camp.
Agreed.
Here's the thing, though. If you're in the second camp, your actions will not save you from the first camp. The authoritarians in the first camp are fundamentally about control, and if you stand in their way, your past actions will mean nothing. Anything less than complete subservience to whatever ideology is currently in vogue in the first camp, is treated as a viral attack and is stamped out with extreme prejudice. Your past capitulation will not serve you in the future.
Exactly.
Nobody--at least nobody with a lick of sense or proportion--actually thinks that changing "master/slave" to something else will accomplish anything of substance or real value. It's nothing more than a publicity stunt to demonstrate that you are not like those people over there, the racists. It's a signal of your adherence to the new narrative, nothing more. The authoritarians in the first camp will acknowledge your signal, and they now know that later you will be more likely to accept the next click on the ratchet. Make no mistake, however; when they ratchet it too far for you, nothing you did in the past will save you.
It's the behavior of cults, and used to great effect at controlling behavior. What's surprising is how many tech people are susceptible to it.
Cults, sure. But fundamentally it's the behavior of dictatorships.
