A code of conduct that can be summarized as "don't be a jerk" isn't "social justice", it's just basic professionalism.

The actual CoC, for context: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/code-of-condu...

This guy's argument is basically good coders should be allowed to be garbage people and require others to put up with them because they open source the code he relies on.

To be fair, I mostly tuned out the moment he mentioned Jordan Peterson.

Forcing somebody out of their jobs/hobbies because you disagree with their political views is absurd.

As long as the person who is an amazing coder contributes great code I honestly couldn't care less if they eat meat, support Trump or do sports in their own _private_ lives and I advise you and the rest of the community who want to force their own views upon others do the same.
