Bias is real, and privilege is real. I don't argue otherwise.

Let's be honest here. If you are able to post on SO at all, you are in the global top 10% of privilege. If you scale it down to a company, it's like the President vs a VP. I choose not to spend my energy splitting those hairs.

You are spending your energy attempting to ignore people's view points.

You called SO reacting to complaints and feedback "pointless virtue signaling" You are now attempting to say you personally wouldn't bother with what SO is doing (as if anyone asked) because other people are unfortunate enough to not have access to the same resources we do? Do I really need to illustrate how nonsensical that is?

What's your angle?
