The saga on Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange, and how tech always serves the ruling class.

Right now, on Stack Overflow, Luigi Magione’s account has been renamed. Despite having fruitfully contributed to the network he is stripped of his name and his account is now known as “user4616250”.

        Corporate fascists need the muscle that the stormtroopers can provide in exchange for the loot they pillage.

        That’s what we are seeing with the last 10-15 years resurgence of the alt-rights grift.
