What yucky politics?

Probably something silly because we live in the age of polarization and thoughts compressed in 150 character tweets.

Agreed, the vagueposting is indication of ill-intent of the top-level comment. No hyperlinks or specifics, it might as well be a game of mad-libs where you insert your grievance here.

Insane people have decided that Rust is on the "woke" side of the culture war. Reading the phoronix comment section is hilarious because any post about rust devolves into a bunch of boomers whining about "blue-haired woke rust programmers" and other nonsense.

That's not how it works. Once in control, vanguardism defends itself by suppressing all dissent. It does not dissipate. It grows like a virus.

Maybe so. But on the other hand as the community grows and becomes politically diverse, you will stop being afraid of being branded part of political movements that you don’t like just by using a certain programming language, which is… good enough?
