Linus Torvalds Calls Out Woke Critics

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me. Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order. I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you? I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with. And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.

Linus Torvalds responds to a commenter who calls his views “woke communist propaganda.” He sarcastically embraces the label and argues that the insult is meaningless when used by people who cannot define it, turning the accusation into a sharp political reaction meme.
