I'm a bit mixed on things as well... I like some of the technical solutions that are coming from the more woke organizations, but I really don't like the abuses under their Code of Conduct or war against the non-woke. Such as activists inside Gnome calling to reject funding from Framework because they're also funding Omarchy and Hyperland.

It's a bit silly, but serious all the same IMO.



Identitarian politics can either be explicitly enforced or implicitly allowed. The woke chose the former. The opposition can do the latter but they also believe in checking identitarian interests in favor for personal freedom.

There are concerns over this escalating into fascism, but the logical extremification of ideas only muddles the waters and makes communication difficult. A pragmatic and balanced solution gets moved out of reach, and as a result, the corporate watchmen can push lighter opposition to the extreme fringes. Who then watches the watchmen?


Don't invite corporate watchmen to the party.
