> macho white nerds

two out of three a'int bad.

rms comes from the old macho male programmer culture of, “logic and reason over all else”. The original hacker mindset of, “this is a meritocracy, and everyone who happens to be into programming is white and male. And there’s no problem with that.”

Eric S Raymond is the same way, but much, much worse. I don’t give him a pass, cause he has no clear vision or morality. He’s just a self-aggrandizing loser.

Linus Torvalds also grew up in that world, but is trying to change: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/16/167
