OK, as I understand it;
A: The open source Linux operating system runs a large fraction of the internet…web servers, WordPress (i.e. this here blog), Android phones, etc.
B: Linux has always been a meritocracy. If you are a coder and you have created a bit of code to make Linux better, you submit it, and if whoever runs Linux likes the code, it gets installed in the next update.
C: You don’t get paid for your work, but you retain copyright to it.
So far so good. But where things get unfortunate: the SJW somehow managed to force the people controlling Linux to adopt a “Code of Conduct” that prioritizes coders of certain special identity groups – women, non-whites, trans, etc. – over white male coders. (My first question would be “how would you even know anything about who wrote a bit of code?”) This new Code of Conduct include the ability to eject coders for violating SJW Holy Writ. OK, that’s bad enough. But where things get apocalyptic: the ejected coders retain their copyright on the bits of code they’ve written. Which means they can sue Linux to remove those bits of code if they are ejected by the SJW fascists. It seems that they can sue not only Linux, but anyone using it (like those web servers and WordPress and whatnot).
This would be the “kill switch,” as people who have been abused by SJWs can use the law to force a good chunk of the internet to cease operations. This would not be so disturbing if the idea of “being abused by SJWs” was some sort of laughable fantasy, but we’ve all seen that when SJWs get power the first thing they do is abuse it. I can see the SJWs involved here working overtime to throw out those dastardly white male coders, knowing full well what will happen. They would rather see the internet burn to the ground than let other people succeed based purely on merit.
If I was conspiratorially minded, I might entertain the notion that the SJWs are in part being puppeteered by the producers of competing for-profit operating systems that would replace Linux in the event that the coders bring it down. or perhaps… Putin did it.
The lesson for everyone: never, never, never give an inch to the forces of “identity uber alles.”
