I appreciate posts like this. It’s nice to see people calling out this shit.

Every time I see so-called “progressives” talking about succeeding from the union or writing off southern states, I feel incredibly terrified and abandoned as a queer person born and raised in Texas.

So… What? I just get to die? I’m just an “unfortunate casualty” Collateral? I get it’s tiresome. I get it’s scary what’s happening. But don’t call yourself an ally if you’re not willing to fight tooth and nail for us. Cause I guarantee, if states started succeeding, it would be game fuckin’, over for a lot of minorities. There would be no way out of the shit holes we’re trapped in, and nobody to speak up or fight for us when they start actually shipping us off to “Wellness Farms.”

At the very least, it would be far more of a circus, as the follow-up articles would read “LINUX KERNEL CREATOR LINUS TORVALDS MAKES DEVESTATING REPLY TO FOSS DRAMA!”

But yeah, I think shit like that would just make devs want to go work for a company, because at least when they make a shitty closed sourced, exploitive program people are mad at the company, not them, specifically. They don’t have to deal with this shit.

I’m really glad Torvalds is the kind of person to flip articles like this off and carry on with his day and just not be affected by it at all. When the time comes, I hope whoever carries the torch is just as well.
