There are some people really obsessed with Antifa.

A week or two ago I browsed Eric S. Raymond's Twitter/X, and he keeps banging about it as some organisation that ruins everything. He also still keeps banging on about BLM in a similar fashion. Curious people. (also: don't do this; it's not good for your blood pressure – the guy is literally calling for segregation of "low IQ savages" now; he's gone full KKK).

Raymond has been like this for many, many years and it's probably best just not to pay attention. I don't think there's much broader social insight you'll be able to pull from whatever he's on about this week.

No, he wasn't quite this bad before. I spent some time reading up on what he was saying around ~2021 and there was racism, but not "these low IQ savages need to be segregated" levels of racism.

There absolutely was; I can give receipts going back into the mid-aughts. But let's not do this here!

As opposed to your buddy popehat. lol

They didn't take the Jordan Neely verdict very well either. Someone joked right after the verdict on Twitter that we should brace for more riots. Whoever runs the account said that sounded like a good idea.

ESRs greatest achievement is turning hackers away from Free Software and towards the corporate friendly Open Source.
