    This is a Cultural Revolution. Expect the burning of books, banning of more literature, destruction of history, statues, artifacts and museum items. Just when I thought humanity might be transcending into Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future, here we are...

    Nobody wants to solve real problems like that 20% of the worlds cotton is picked by slaves in 2020. Or the Massive Slave Garlic trade, IP theft to financially support slavery & organ theft.

    The Perfect Is The Enemy of The Good.

    These people have assembled into a non-theistic religion.

    Call them what they are:

    A Cult.

      Well it's a purely american issue, americans just impose on the whole world wide web. It's the very same with the war on drugs. They fanatically follow one barely reasoned strategy, enforce it for decades until the negative effects can't be managed anymore. Just to randomly choose another radical path for another few decades. Now replace drugs with racism.

        Why do you wage culture war? Why do you drink the cool-aid of the anti-woke cult? Why do you not realize that YOU are the victim of cult-behaviour. You are part of a cult and political movement which is anti-liberal, which means anti-democracy. There is only one real democracy, and that is liberal democracy. Your cult relishes in hate, lies and disinformation. You are the enemy to western society as much as the Kremlin, the CCP, the DPRK or the Ayatollah of Iran. You are part of a neo-fascist revolutionary movement which will fail and die, and go down in history as the most disgraceful and disgusting political movement in the west since the Nazis and fascism that plagued Europe in the 30's and 40's. Shame on you.

        Edit: And if you're not, then you are clearly still their useful idiot judging from your anti-"woke" rhetoric.

          Considering that the word slave originated from the word slav (the ethnicity which I happen to be myself) which in turn actually comes from the word slov as in slovo (word/tongue depending on how you look at it) and is referring to the "same tongue" you/we speak, i.e "we slovaci", "we of the same tongue".

          Both Romans and Proto-Germans used "slavs" as slaves/slave labor hence why the word has existed long before even n*gger become commonplace which builds on the same principle meaning it is in actuality an ethnic slur that has since lost its actual meaning because we're talking at least 1000 years of history at this point in time. So you saying slave is no better than saying n*gger but of course people don't realize that at all. One could even draw parallels with the word "robot" which stems from the word "robotnik" (now more commonly used as pracovnik (worker/laborer) which is also a slavic word, but obviously the meaning is different and less degenerating. But there are instances of the word robot being used the same way as debil or idiot.

          Now obviously all this is all lost to history because wokeism only focuses on current events that are less than 50 years old (when it is still a current ongoing event), even if the history of slaves is obviously much much older than that. Don't forget that the US is a young nation so slaves have only existed for as long as the nation has which is some 250 years give or take.

          Now why I don't have to self-censor myself but have to self-censor another racial slur is anyone guess... Actually no, it's just potato/woke logic at its core that dictates why it is the way it is. The US was the last western nation to abolish slaves which makes it the sole reason why it's still another hot topic to this day. And it's same with their systemic racism that even exists in Europe or anywhere else really because everyone are "racist" in the end even if they deny it.

          So what has this have to do with Masters? Well Masters in "recent history" had slaves and that's about it. Why things like Master Chef even is a thing is probably for the same reason as to why chai tea even exists and is something that will keep bothering me for the rest of my life.

          So why did it take so long for this to become a sensitive topic? Because you need roughly 10% of the people in whatever group in order to decimate said group. This is what all those hostile takeovers you'll keep seeing are all about.

          If Group A has 100 people then the vocal minority only has to reach 10 people for said decimation to take place. For 1000 you need 100 and so on. Humans are dumb social animals in the end and quite weak willed once a group of people gather up in order to do their thing. This why GitHub had this moment, and now GitLab came next. And others will follow suit in due time.

          The TLDR is pretty much that it's not the Master that's the problem, but the other end that's tied to it (in "recent" times).

            I'm offended by the racist connotations inherent in this toxic "Main" terminology. In the name of tolerance and diversity, we must attack, harm, and ostracize anyone who doesn't goose-step to our mantra. Using the term "Main" is historically proven to cause tremendous pain and oppression. Because Science. #WokeLogic

              So it's not true that "main" only helps complaining people, 'cause it too has an alterior meaning, at least in Dutch, and that will upset females.
              We're talking about "master" and "main" as words in the English language. Does anyone here know about a known practice of assigning English technical terms by first checking all other languages for other meanings?

              A source code repository that has multiple branches can logically - even to people who don't know programming - a single main branch. "master" is only a label [1] that is assigned by git when it initializes a new repository. In any project it makes sense to have a branch with the role of a main branch, where the code gets merged for release and whatever other reason. Labeling that branch as "main" is clear.

              I don't care if that name is master or main because I'm not among the people who "confuse" technical terms with social issues. But "main" is a good label and there's no real reason to complain about it.

              [1] Note: (after Figure 10)
              The “master” branch in Git is not a special branch. It is exactly like any other branch. The only reason nearly every repository has one is that the git init command creates it by default and most people don’t bother to change it.

                It is probably shocking and hard to realize, but the democrats are as fragmented as the republicans. The Woke wave is not equal democrats and liberals. And as a liberal, I tell you this movement is best described as a range of utter nonsense up to simple harassment.

                Edit: Yes, there we go. Not much behind it but calling words.

                  What a load. Democracy is derived from ancient Greek - demos and cratia - quite literally meaning "people's rule". Dimwits electing a candidate out of a group of slightly different, but all equally bad and unsuited for the position of government is not democracy, it is a complete and total mockery of it.

                  Or as I like to call it - themockracy - it is pronounced exactly the same as democracy, but means something very different.

                  Alas, we will never have true democracy until people are dumb to the extend to participate in themockracy, thus giving their consent to everything that happens as a result.

                  As for liberasty, or as you call it - "liberal democracy" - that is actually quite bad and oppressive - it annihilates the most basic, fundamental and important human rights and liberties, and replaces them with degenerative nonsense bs. Heck, the champions of "liberal democracy" - violent looters and by the book fascists, obtuse enough to believe to be opposing fascism by conducting it...

                    Sorry, I'm European, so when I wrote "liberal" I didn't mean as in the democratic party in America, but in it's more general meaning. On the other hand, the republican party has been hijacked by authoritarians, and when you only have one party left that believes in liberal democracy then you don't really have a functioning democracy. I hope the situation in the US can change for the better because it's pretty damn bleak.

                    Sorry for getting into politics. I'll shut up now.

                      Truth. Socialism, Communism, Fascism, they are all the same thing. The difference is purely academic. They all demand total allegiance punishing anyone who dissents, they all demand forfeiting increasing amounts of your rights and your money in the name of some common good. And they all involve pitting the people against some perceived enemy.

                      Every murderous oppressive dictator of the past 200 years rose to power on three Socialist pillars: 1) Resentment of the wealthy. 2) Promises to provide for the masses. 3) Elimination of the influence of religion. Sound familiar? It was true for Adolf in WWII, the Russian Communists in 1917, and the CCP in China. It's just as true for the modern-day American Democratic political party who is making the same three promises. Just like the WWII German book burnings and the CCP's "cultural revolution", the American Democratic party is destroying works of art that are not in-line with the party's views. Scary stuff. History is repeating.
