I am as pro-LGBTQ+ and pro- any minority and sexual identity. Live and let live is my motto.

But either yours is a subtle attempt at satire, or whatever you have listed here is not fearless self-expression and progressive thought, but just newspeak and dystopian conformism. Whatever this is, it is not freedom of thought and expression.

I will fight against any racist and any bigot. Whether they argue against anyone's right of self-expression and identity, or whether they impose their opinion and self-identity upon others.

I assume this to be a minority opinion, but since we're talking about hacker culture, let me argue in favour of the true hacker spirit: the one where only code and curiosity counts, not bloody politics and rules. That ain't no hacker culture, sorry. We used to bond through beautiful code and cheeky pseudonyms, not through flags and political affiliations. Hackers used to despise politics, code of conducts and hierarchy.

In true anti-conformist spirit let me say: fuck that shit. Get your politics and slogans out of my computer. I only wanna hear about your code.
