I don’t mind someone doing politics stuffs. Heck I am in for privacy and no enterprise model of software. Big Stallman fan here.

But I would really suggest keeping politics out of Zig stuffs.

I don’t even know what ICE is. Just read about it.

This is a show of power.

Like: “I am an American and since I am building the software, I am going to push MY politics into your throat”.

That means, to show similar power, I need to build a software as influential as Zig so that I can push my agendas of my country down your throats.

Heck let me do just that.

Keep politics to politics forums, keep code to code.

The gall to tell someone what to create or not create, or say or not say with their own creation, for free for your own enjoyment.

Pushing politics is explicitly against the Hacker News guidelines though.

If Andrew wants to make Zig the woke programming language for American Liberals, he is of course free to do so, but then he probably should not be posting on Hacker News in an attempt to proselytize.

“Woke”: objecting to murder

Nice attempt at gaslighting.

If Andrew only wrote “I object to murder” we wouldn't have this discussion. We're here because he wrote “Abolish ICE” instead. That's not denouncing murder, it's denouncing federal immigration law.

The woke don't object to murder. They cheered the murder of Charlie Kirk, they lamented the assassination attempts on Donald Trump because they _failed_, they celebrate Luigi Mangione as a martyr for their cause. Has Andrew ever used the Zig programming blog to condemn any of these (attempted) murders? I bet he hasn't—but feel free to prove me wrong!

So it's pretty clear that Andrew, just like most of the woke, doesn't object to murder. He loves murder. He only objects to democracy, to the rule of law, to the majority of Americans who don't support illegal immigration to the extent that he does.

If Andrew wants to use his programming language to take a stand against murder, he is welcome to do so! He has chosen to never do it. He has only used his platform to push woke politics, by supporting illegal immigration, and opposing law enforcement.

		“Pushing politics is explicitly against the Hacker News guidelines though.” Cool tirade.

		Gaslighting? You were ranting about how Alex Pretti's murder was justified just a few comments up. STFU.
