Or Eelco actually stepped down and the majority of large Nix contributors don't like fascists or the military industrial complex.

Thank you for illustrating the problem with the Nix community so succintly. When someone brings up those words, I know immediately to distance myself from them.

It's more a problem of society in general. Freedom (like power) is a two-edged sword. Some people get drunk on it.

If they don't like fascists, why are they against the only serious anti-fascist force on this planet?

I suppose that's the American led industrial military complex?

I bloody hate war and the military, but I have to agree with that one. While Russia, China & co. keep moving closer and closer to the fascism of pre-WWII world, the collective West seems to be the only force countering that, though parts of the US politics is showing signs of also falling into the seductive philosophy of fascism.

These people wouldn't know what a fascist was even if Hitler took a dump in their cornflakes.

Meaning of the word has been twisted and manipulated to refer to anyone who has a different opinion on something, to the benefit of actual neonazis and fascists.
