Summary: The slippery slope of uniformal thinking in Debian project
Hours ago at Debian Community News:
>
>
> Rhonda D’Vine, a Debian Developer from Austria, recently wrote about actively excluding people from free software projects.
>
> At first glance, what D’Vine is proposing amounts to emotional blackmail.
>
> This is the psychology of cults: people must show a blind obedience to the leaders and suppress their own feelings and ideas or they are treated rudely.
>
> [...]
>
> D’Vine’s musings reveal an Austrian/German cultural defect: a desire and willingness to control everybody around you or eliminate them. An unwillingness to invest in relationships with people you wouldn’t normally count as close friends.
>
> The fact that D’Vine independently derives this philosophy from her own environment, which includes Debian, suggests a disturbing possibility that those from a German cultural background will keep reviving the philosophy behind the Holocaust from time to time whenever they participate in a state or organization with mixed cultures.
