content: Not fagging out. Just taking a very abstract, bird's eye perspective on the issue using the most neutral language possible in order to provide the most sound argument possible.  Not every kind of good work has to be done everywhere.  So there is a legitimate separation of concerns. In particular, Linux kernel development is not obliged to act as a kindergarten for purple-haired, mentally ill, college dropouts who can't code.   Nobody demands that social-justice causes demonstrate their ability to write C.  And by implication, he is saying that C programmers ought not to have to demonstrate their commitment to SJW causes.   Generally speaking (that is, unless it commits actual crimes) you can only judge a group by how it fulfills its own telos, not those of others.  The telos of Linux kernel development is to produce sound code, nothing else.  And by 'nothing else' he is excluding 'social justice'.
