You’re entirely correct.
The only problem is, you’re applying logic and real human empathy, to an imaginary story, meant to draw upon the self-pity and jealousy of incels, in order to get engagement.
Some wise cis person once thought:
“If I’m wrong about being trans and I take hormones for no reason, at least I’d have a more femme body.”

I almost unintentionally just read through some 5 or 6 chapters. Holy shit it’s cool. Following all the theys and its and perspective changes is hard (maybe add a symbol or color to demarcate whose perspective we enter, on each change?), but the story delivers the emotional tension and beats so fucking well.
The shadow of the underlying sexual tension is there by chapter 6, but I honestly don’t care, I wanna read about hyper fantasy logic-vs-impulse blorbos learning to be trusting together <3
Good fucking job, I’m probably reading the rest of it over the next days, keep being awesome!


I’m sorry for you, having to read this.
Keep up the good work out there, and stay strong, despite the obstacles, captain 🫡


Because fake photos and lying costs barely anything in an AI subscription, while sex dolls cost thousands.
It will always be cheaper to make another person do the things you want for you, instead of taking care of them on your own.


There’s things that are too complicated to explain in a comment.
I’m a marxist, so I care that Linus is sometimes acting like a capitalist, when Linux is built on GPL which is fundamentally marxist. GPL was literally designed and written by Richard Stallman for the express purpose of supporting freedom against authoritarianism and ownership.
I literally can’t show you anything, you have to go read up on your own.
Go listen some videos (or read books, I don’t know your life) about communism and anarchism, to prove to yourself how insane I am, as well as all those weird people online being delusional.
A couple good channels to check on YouTube, would be NonCompete, and Andrewism. I think you seem bothered enough, it’s going to be worth it for you.
Or, if you can’t be bothered, stop bothering everyone. Let the people who wanna talk, talk. Not everything has to be your business, if you don’t really want it to be.


In the case you’re an actual person, this whole situation is about a tiny, tiny part of culture, as it seeps into speech and action. 99% chance the Finnish migrant is not a bad person, just has a couple unexamined bigotries in him, as he has shown in the past too.
Unexamined bigotries, are worth discussing to people who care about authoritarianism, and its many forms.
You don’t have to understand it, it’s not meant for you. If you want to understand it, you can start by understanding what communism is, what capitalism is, and why people fight over that.
Linus just, often, like in this case, takes the side of the establishment. That’s a big part of what this post wanted to show.


Yeah, that’s exactly how it goes. Your article shows an important, logical, and real piece of the larger picture of ideology and politics, but there’s always going to be people who want to not understand.


By the owning class, as a working class person, with limited capacity to control my own hardware, due to legal ownership of the software it runs.


This is a long post, with good context and details, trying to prove to the audience that neutrality is not apolitical, and Linus is leaning towards the establishment politically.
Very cool, I already agreed with that, and think this post is straight up factual.
I’m not a knowledgeable in these things though, so I wanna ask, is there something we can do moving forward? Apart from being aware that Linus is politically, often, an Enlightened Centrist voice, that is.


Yeah no. I don’t think there’s much value to arguing with you, but when there’s an oppressor and an oppressed, “doing nothing” and “letting things be” is not neutral.
For “doing nothing” to be neutral, you have to believe the world is Just, as it is now. Do you?
