CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros (lemm.ee)

The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Is this dude schizophrenic or something? What the fuck does he mean "Irish only apply"?

For a non-native speaker of english this reads like a core dump. I have zero idea what this dude is even talking about.

Extremely online echo chamber talk doesnt make sense in any language if youre ourside that echo chamber.

Him being a 4chan shitbird means most the people here on lemmy likely weren't going to be clue'd in immediately.

Oh right - that's why I keep not installing Brave. I knew it was something and then I forget.

lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply

Is this racist against the Irish? I mean that is traditional, but sounds so strange.

"Irish need not apply" was a common thing in job ads at one time; asshat here is doing the usual conservative thing of pretending to be unfairly persecuted

We knew Eich was an asshole when he tried to support that amendment in California ages ago

This kind of statement have way less impact when people already have 0 goodwill toward the one that says it.

The fact that he invented Javascript alone makes him a villain. Everything he did after that is just complementary.
