It's always amusing to see takes like

    perpetuating the self-serving myth that “open source” software can privilege one party over anyone else and still be called open source.
from someone who is absolutely okay with doing exactly that, if those "anyone else" are being labelled the morally-justifying label.


The championing of a supposed openness, together with a radical culture of denouncing people with opinions not more extrem then the average American as fascists, is just so bizarre.

Here in Germany a similar anti-fascist hacker culture exists, but those people do not pretend that they want any kind of culture of openness, which would extend beyond their political lines.
