I don't mean to but I lost one of my best friends partially this way :(
It's hard to control sometimes
If I ever find someone who cares about communism/Unix/Plan 9/computer architecture (I see all these as deeply interconnected) as much as I do our power will be unstoppable
Edit: Thanks everyone for your replies and for sharing your experiences, it means a lot to me. I want to reply to everyone I just don't know what to say lol
People who are unwilling to at least tolerate my passionate rambling about how Social Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism, or how ACAB, aren't worth keeping around :) I have actually started opening up with "softer", more palatable leftist talking points pretty early with people. I might be pretty persuasive because I have convinced people of some stuff!!
Aside from the politics though nobody who's anybody should really be put off by your caring deeply about Unix/Plan 9/computer architecture.
