It's called "being a decent human". It doesn't take much but the right just can't comprehend that

Linus is my favourite centrist <3

Linus. The hero we need. But not the hero we deserve.

He's an asshole, but god damn it, he's our asshole.

It's times like these where you're reminded that Linus is awesome.

Just how fucking dense do you have to be in order to be surprised that a man who created one of the most popular operating systems on Earth, and then gave it away for free, might be a leftist?

There's some libertarians in the FOSS community as well, so it's not a guarantee, but yeah, generally you'll find that correlation.

Right wingers are extremely stupid and don't really understand what the left stands for, they fall for all fox news strawman arguments and rage bait.

I think he isn't a leftist, but just reasonable

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

In the USA the republicans simply are such morons currently that anything reasonable appears to be leftist.

I'm center-right in Austria but US-americans would call me a woke communist (and in many regards I'm more leftist than the democrats).

All it takes to be a leftist these days is to not go out of your way every day to be a raging cunt.

Basic human decency. That's seriously all it takes.

I see a lot of overlap from where I'm standing.

Unfortunately, it's true: Linux is woke. And DEI. And gay.

We need to get Elon Musk and the DOGE team on this, stat!
