admittedly “charlie kirk stan” was maybe not the best way to describe it (i got this from other people), he hasn’t posted much about him (other than to mourn his death lol), but

Screenshot of a tweet by @awesomekling: In recent years I’ve attended multiple software conference talks that had unrelated extreme political rhetoric in slides, such as “fuck [name]” and “punch [group]”. Whenever this happened, some of the audience would clap and cheer, I’d roll my eyes, and the talk would get back on topic. Fast-forward to today, and look at how many people in our industry are openly celebrating the murder of someone they decided was a “nazi” and “fascist”. Turns out these people were more serious than I thought. As someone who’s repeatedly been called a “nazi” and “fascist” myself for disagreements with far-left ideology, I know how easily those labels get thrown around. And honestly, this is making me seriously reconsider which conferences I attend. There’s a hateful rot within our industry. It shouldn’t be socially acceptable to cheer for murder. We need to do more than roll our eyes.

apparently he thinks the software industry has a nazi-hating problem??? lmao
