In Europe, Linus is probably right of centre. Just let anyone do whatever except walk around with a gazillion firearms because that’s just insane.

This NIC is woke.

Since I had it handy, here's the source meme for the uninitiated: An edited picture of an early reader book. A young man is leaning over the open hood of a car, gesturing with his offhand, facing the viewer. The title of the book has been edited to say "Everything I don't like is WOKE" and the subtitle is "A book for basic dickheads". Text over the young man says "This engine is woke".

TIL Linus is capable of decency. Occasionally.

The Right doesn't care what people actually believe.

They happily quote MLK on a daily basis.

Ray Bradbury was always anti-fascist, but he called out President Obama because there were no space missions during the Obama terms. After Bradbury died the Right tried to cherry pick quote to make him look like a life long Republican.

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

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

I'm sorry, and I don't want to be disrespectful or rude, but as a person who has no clue about computers I am very surprised the creator of Linux is still alive. I somehow thought he is super old and probably dead by now or at least not using the internet. I'm so sorry for my ignorance.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the many interesting replies, I've learned a lot of random stuff which I greatly appreciate!

To be fair what he's described is at most Progressive. The left rejects the current economic model as a start. Workers owning the means of production instead of an owner class.

There's a whole lot of river to swim between fair and equal treatment and full fledged socialism. Not everyone on "the left" sleeps with Karl Marx under their pillow.
