For the umphteenth time.

Go, be a socialist. Africa is waiting. 99.9% of people visiting this website is orders of magnitude more wealthy than average african citizen.

Eat the rich? You people are the rich. Set an example. Lead the way. Be the first communist to actually practice what they preach.

Naivety of people in software development is something else. Billion dollar corporation hired 10 token nonbinary people and people just forgot, if they ever knew the history.
