A comment on GitHub, fuck your name change. Parent comment

Hmmm. You typed a whole comment without disavowing the extremists on the right. Should we take your silence as tacit approval?

Of course we shouldn’t. That’s not how any of us should think about other people.

stress is known to make systems less fragile.

The way to improve things is to speak "truth to power", and the moral way to do it is to always "punch upwards".

I've been riling against Trump, Bannon & Co for the past 4 years. Before that I've been vocal about Obama's reign of terror, his broken promises of closing gitmo, and his drone wars. No doubt in my next 4 years I'll be hurling insults against Biden.

There is no need to add disclaimers or enumerating all things that a comment doesn't stand for. Doing so not only makes for "boring reading" but also looks like the person feels very insecure.
