This is the truth! If someone wants to be a racist or a holocaust denier, go for it. I don't care, and I don't agree, but for the love of god, he has the same rights as I do. I feel disgusted by the creeds of wokeness that are stuffed down peoples throats at big, international IT companies. However! They are greedy enough not to bite the hand that feeds them, so I expect major big IT corporations, to turn toward Trumpism now, and deny or conveniently forget that they ever were woke. I've heard that there have been slight shifts towards this stance within Redhat the past couple of months.
