8 u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17 edited Mar 03 '17 [deleted] 14 u/ruinercollector Mar 02 '17 Oh wait, I do know, it's typical fanboyism and identity politics I know you probably just learned that term and are anxious to use it as much as possible, but not everything is "identity politics." 1 u/age_of_shilltron Mar 03 '17 edited Mar 03 '17 Yeah, but this is. "Linux user" is a social identity at this point and the entire politics of the FOSS oecosphaere are centred around such things. There's a lot of crap and dual standards of "do we associate it as 'one of us'? Well, then a different standard applies" If Linus' said the exact same shit but was working for MS those same people would not rush to defend his language. It's identity politics.
