It's honestly distressing how all of these violent ideologies are growing in popularity. Nazism, socialism, and whatever else should be thrown on the pile. If you're a queer black "executive" like myself, there are a lot of people that believe the world would be a better place with you dead.

It's getting to the point that I'm considering keeping myself ignorant of developers' beliefs for my own mental wellness.

Huh, socialism as a violent ideology was not on my bingo card for 2025

That's because in modern (at least US) parlance, "socialism" can mean anything from "mild redistribution of resources with taxation and spending" to "Stalinist purges". Clearly the violence is on one side of that spectrum (unless you believe taxation is theft and inherently violent, which... I've heard is a belief). It's almost a meaningless word these days.
