moz-hx··on How White Nationalism Courts Internet Nerd Culture
It's incredibly aggravating how aggressively Nazis are attempting to corrupt internet culture to espouse their hateful ideals. The original mindset that developed on the internet was about how nobody's identity IRL mattered, and what you said/did was what proved your worth. Now, a bunch of basement-dwelling Nazis are trying to turn that meritocracy into their own whites-only club? Fuck that, that's not what internet culture is about.

I strongly believe that anyone who cares about the internet and its culture of free ideas will recognize it as a place where people can be judged based on their skills and the quality of their ideas rather than their race or gender, and will harshly judge anyone who attempts to exclude others based purely on such superficial metrics.

It seems that startups oftentimes attract those kinds of big egos, although the brutal startup marketplace oftentimes punishes those people for their hubris.
