    What a wetwipe of an article. One is a fascist for opening grok on a video. Another is a fascist because he has some conservative takes. This is why I struggle to take the left seriously. Why don’t you go after the actual targets than developers who are conservative. The developer of Lemmy is a tankie yet I don’t bloody care. He makes good software. It’s not like they’re financing a political campaign.

    He even makes the point himself

    The easy way out of this uncomfortably large gathering of perfectly normal, peaceful Brits who’ve had enough is to tar them all as “far right”. That’s not just a British tactic, but one used across Europe, and previously in the US as well. It used to work very well, because the historical stigma was so strong, but, like hurling “nazi” and “fascist” at the most middle-of-the-road political figures and positions, it’s finally lost its power.

    You can tell people they’re wrong without calling them fascists.

    Stop with the culture war BS.
