Watching people try to actively start a movement* against the creator of Linux because he said “nazis are morons” is a very horrifying thing to watch.

It’s like some of you are in full denial about fact that there is an active nazi takeover going on, so you’d rather infight with people who are here to help you instead of fighting the real enemy.

Please stop.

@ErickaSimone where did he say that? (sorry, search engines aren't what they used to be :/ )

@ErickaSimone @soulsource @guenther

ah yes June 2023... I see that I responded to this post favorably at the time.

I'm always happy to see prominent people trashing Nazis.

@soulsource @guenther @ErickaSimone wow that post is so old I had already boosted it twice. But thanks for the opportunity to make it boost it again.

(Also it was a reply to an account from poa.st which is a well-known Nazi instance.)

I'm kind of surprised it's making waves again, this time for the language used. But maybe I should have come to expect this kind of things from certain corners of the Fediverse.
