Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

After a decade of cryptofascism and failed political activism, our dear friend jart is realizing that they don't really have much of a positive legacy. If only there was something they could have done about that.

Her political views were probably common knowledge to many of you, but I only learned Milkshake Duck was racist in a stubsack thread a few months ago.

If it's any consolation; sectorlisp might be written by a literal self-described neoreactionary, impractical, written by a cryptofascist, computer scientific masturbation, written by a politically incoherent and confused person, pointlessly constrained, written by an obvious cryptofascist and written by a fascist; but it's still cooler and more practical than Urbit.

"Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialist Lisp, Dude, at least it has a decrement operator ."

My Lisp is not a nazi. It might be a neoreactionary, a turing tarpit, a bootloader, and a nazi, but it is not a JavaScript.

I might be one of the few who had the reverse revelation, learning about her terrible politics, and then marveling at the amazing technical accomplishments when I read further. Is that a new different way to have a terrible time online? Discovering that Racist Duck also made milkshakes.
