when leftists use an antisemitic template but target it at capitalists, what they are saying, at least historically, is not “the capitalists are jews” / “the jews are capitalists” but rather “the antisemites are wrong; it’s not the jews that are the problem, it’s the capitalists”. they are willing to entertain a conspiracy but find the jewish people innocent.

but then the nazis came along and did make those equations, which of course makes it impossible to tell just from the denouncement of capitalists whether some·one is a leftist or a nazi, and the leftists never really figured out how to counter that

anyway this is why you should only hang out with leftists who have developed beyond european leftism because those tropes don’t exactly have currency anywhere else

explained of course by the fact that the people who came up with contemporary antisemitism and the people who came up with contemporary leftism were largely living in the same countries at the same time and responding to the same material conditions

unfortunately co·opting antisemitic tropes while replacing all references to jews with references to capitalism is a long leftist tradition

in programming languages like Javascript where imports are essentially dynamic links, i think it makes no sense. just use the M·P·L, it’s cleaner and more straightforward and the added virality of the G·P·L isn’t actually useful in most cases.

when writing statically linked C code: yeah okay, i get why you might want to “study the whole program”

writing C code does make the whole Gnu G·P·L thing make a lot more sense

apparently including Git into a program which does nothing increases its size to 2.5 megabytes
