The other post asking for examples is downvoted, but I think your statement could really use some. I can only think of one highly visible one, and it's interesting how much it reminds me of this one, though on the opposite side. But more examples would be illuminating.

I can't reply to the flagged reply anymore, but I see now that I was thinking of this thread as "within the tech industry", while they were thinking of it more broadly. Looking up-thread, I see that that my more narrow interpretation isn't necessarily the right one.

Avoid Michael Eisen's twittersphere. You will be a better person for it (he is right that C.elegans is a very boring but useful model organism. The two main phenotypes it has are "dumpy" and "uncoordinated".

>Ironically the left has gone so mentally insane they are also cannibalising centre left now

American political alignment definitions never cease to amuse me.

I checked your twitter link tho and right of the bat the first is someone making a menu with watermelon water & cool aid for black history month and then lying it was set up by black colleagues. If there was no malintent they shouldn't be fired based on that but I'd seriously doubt their mental capacities and worry bout em drawing a blackface caricature on the chalkboard outside with the same supportiveness. followed by ... some idiots organising segregated yoga classes asking white people to stay away and getting so much slack for it they closed down. You'd think that would show the opposite of what's intended by the OP.

And whilst i have no intent of getting a subscription to a tabloid what I did see of the second link seems to imply a few retards got mad on twitter? I'd say among both libs and conservatives alike there's a huge drive to find loads of random specs of stupidity in a nation of hundreds of millions to be outraged about which serves to both vilify and build a strawman of the opposition whilst fuelling a victim-complex. It really works well too from a political perspective.

While some of the incidents in the list are regrettable, much of the list is about trans issues. That's where the game is given up (trans issues are where the game is always given up) and it becomes obvious that the maintainer of the list is a bigot.

The list also has a bunch of references to Quillette, which is white supremacism for people that have a college degree.

While not right wing there was the Stallman case.
