Vouching for this because I want to argue against it.

We never stood for your sad racist ignorant crap. We believed in a better world of educated people. Fuck off with your shitty fascist bullshit. 2600

What's the racist part your referring to?

Top-level post was repeating some dogwhistle talking points, including insinuating that the editorship of 2600 or the hacker community of which they are a part have an agenda against white people and that freedom of expression is somehow being curtailed for toxic and hateful elements of society, and that that's a bad thing.

Scratch a person who repeats these talking points and you will, invariably, find a racist.

That's a bit of a jump in inference. The GP was talking about expressing views contrary to the current narratives....

Again, this is dogwhistle for "I want to show my racist ass in public with no consequences". Nonracists don't fulminate about "the current narratives" or "pseudo-diversity".
