      Have you read the LKML thread where the Rust people are called “Cancer”, then slapped with “You are the problem” to end up with “we are the Thin Blue Line”? Herbst is right, it is sickening.

      And what “line” is that? The last line against… Innovation? Just Stuff Moving Forward Like It Does Without Regards For Your Fragile Ego? The Dinosaurs Extinction?

        Isn’t “thin blue line” one of these pro-cop phrases that resurfaced in reaction to BLM? If so, I think fascism might be a part of the problem.

          Yes. Calling this image today is super-loaded in every way: racism, white supremacy, fascism, it’s all there from BLM to the Jan 6 Insurrection.
