Drew Devault has gone "off the rails" lately.

So sad to see.

People like Drew haven’t quite caught up to the fact that they are the “QAnon weirdos” of the current age: people who loudly advertise their absurd fringe beliefs, while other people eye them warily from a safe distance.
At least he's consistent. He always writes s*t. I still remember last year's FOSDEM drama.
It is so tiresome to see Americans come to Europe and try to bring their hyperviolent, offensive society with them. It may come as a surprise to Mr. DeVault, but most Europeans left or right denounce political violence, even in the case of extremists like Kirk. And the same humility applies both ways: in my country even Mr. Kirk's shooter could become a rehabilitated lawyer or other respected member of society 20 or 30 years from now.

But no, here we are, throwing the f-word around willy nilly. We also don't have the First Amendment, and you don't have to be a rich multimillionaire like DHH to file a successful defamation case against such irresponsibility.
