open source was never meant to imply "communal" work yet what is the cliche one hears the most online? obviously it's the "open source community". let me explain to you something. there are 2 forms of social organisation. one is community and another is society. to be a member of society, takes brains, education and tolerance, which is why all the dumb people love to join communities, to free themselves of the responsibility to be a mature human being. one thing dumb people really cherish, is the ability to reach a certain conclusion which feels immediately moral, so that they can thing "i'm doing a good thing that everybody else is also doing which is why im not a dumb person".

to be civil by definition means to be part of a civil society. in a society, there are responsibilities, to oneself, to others. but those who join communities, isolate themselves in their little groups with their little code of conducts, so that everything that breaks the pattern in their little minds, can be considered toxic and removed from their bubble. the most incredible thing, is that how they borrow such high-life concepts like "liberalism" and "being the left" to apply to their low-life, intolerant communities. you aint no left. you are the opposite. you are evil that is mimicking something beautiful to avoid detection.

which is what the "open source community" is. open source literally means that the code can be inspected, and built upon rather than that it should be an artifact around which some fanatics gather to make it their idol that they collectively worship. it was meant to solve societal needs, but as everything good attracts the bad, it has attracted an army of the dumbest, uncivil devs who, feeling empowered by microsoft, are now dictating what the rules are, expelling those whose opinions they don't like. don't you think that microsoft as a corporation that fought os for decades does not care a single bit about its ethos?

if anything, it wants open source dead, just like it wants professional software engineering to be dead as well for its dot net domination. software development has moved on to the web as the new platform, and ms clearly wants to dictate its standards do you know why? because its a freaking corporation with no moral obligations, it's the reason it exists - to dominate and monopolise. its true cloud capital is the number of people it can brainwash. open source was inconvenient, and to kill something physically, you need to go for the logic of it, so that it came up with this wonderful idea to codify open source as something that a community does for free.

you don't want money for your open source work? great, how about your parents who brought you up? what about your siblings, cousins, extended family? do you think the rainy day will never come to you, to them? how about your local charity? do you know how many millions people are suffering around the world? how about you make some cash and send it to somebody in need? is it even ethical to produce code that is then harvested by trillion dollars corporations so that the skill of software engineers will be so devalued that everybody will treat them as dirt, thinking of us as a bunch of nerds producing code for this newly emerged "technological leaders" elites and their startups?

don't be stupid. if there is one thing i've learned over the years about devs, is how much they like to find the simplest solution because it sort of works and stick with it. they then stop the search, because it's now much harder to find a thing that works not just for them, but for everybody. there are 2 kinds of systems - the one under operation (OS), and the one that uses it (US). enterprise engineering 101. software and open source was meant to be used by society, but it was hijacked by this club of the most arrogant, vile devs who only serve themselves in their little communities, marking anybody as toxic who asks serious questions about the "culture" which has emerged.

to all those constantly repeating the buzzword "open source community" let me tell you this - you ain't the good, humble human beings who get together to advance the societal progress. it's a little story you tell yourselves to appease your narcissism because you have no professional qualifications and can't advance in your career. you can't progress in an enterprise ladder so you label it as "capitalist" evil that you think you fight with open source. but know this - you ain't the real open source. you're the imitation, the cult. you can only create an illusion, without actually building up the essential structure that must underlie all things stable. you are what underpins the evil exploitary system in the first place.

the real open source is not about the community. it's about the society and giving everybody an opportunity, especially the introverted persons - those with brains enough to explore the deeper structures inside them which you will never understand due to the low-iq. your open source cult is just a settler camp on the land which was meant to be free, put on it by the microsoft's mental occupation, that seeks to convert us all into serves. there's real value in religion as it teaches how to be human, how to have compassion. which is why the orthodox church has always fought with cults. which is why ill build my own orthodox open source (OOS), to give everybody a chance to earn with their hard work, to grow spiritually from a tribalist dev into a decent human being.
