I guess the Deprogram guys are the Three Stooges now? But the joke doesn’t really work

    Who is Roderic besides a guy who runs a (admittedly pretty good) blog? Info on the dude is scant online.

      What is the difference between a blog and a website at this point for such a site? It rivals Marxism.org but for another goal: making theory easier to read and understand for a population that reads wayyyy too little. It's mostly works from other people with some of Roderic, Nia, and some others original pieces between.

      I've also been scared by the fact that there's little about him online, but it makes a bit more sense when you hear he grew up in Peru, studied engineering (computers) in Canada (?) And works there now. It's not like he's gonna have a huge profile in his 20's. He also does lots of work with programming on GitHub, from before he was of redsails fame.

      Roderic Day is misunderstood I guess. From my understanding, he doesn't argue with people unless he thinks there is someone worth talking with.

        This just seems like a weird hill to die on at this particular time shrug-outta-hecks

          at this particular time

          That's the thing about tailism, though. It's always bound to a struggle that is of particular urgency or salience at a given time. You can use the same exact words to repudiate any charge of tailism that isn't being made retrospectively, in a history book.
