Hint: she doesn't actually regret anything

These are business people who give zero fucks about Reddit except for what it's price will be once they finish monetizing it and sell it. Aaron Swartz was an idealist, but he's gone, so we're left with a lawsuit-happy MBA and the asshole popcorn guy. What do you expect from that leadership?

Honestly, reading the apology reminded me too much of the way a child apologizes when they're not really sure what they did wrong. They say "I'm sorry, I really am" and when you ask why they are sorry it was "for making you mad" not for what they did to make you mad in the first place.

Right. It's damage control.

you mean like fucking those married dudes to advance her career or bilking that fire departments pension fund?

Don't forget she asked for the exact amount from her ex employer that covered her hubby's ponzi scheme.

I wonder if she regrets losing that frivolous law suit?

Wasn't really frivolous since many of the people who worked there thought she had a case.

I'd say people do oblivious and dangerous things for those they love, correlation? Is that a word?

But considering how unrepentant many hedge fund/wallstreet assholes can be, I'd rather see them burn, including those who would be just as ethically vile to defend those actions.

Goddamnit stop using a dead person's name to push your own agenda. Aaron wrote some code for this website and thus was included as a founder. THAT WAS IT.

Other than that he was without a doubt what some would call a SJW.

Not to mention that before he died he was working at ThoughtWorks, who now has an annual Aaron Swartz award. I also worked there so I can assure you that they are a pro-socialist, pro-feminist company who has special programs to hire and promote women and minorities. They give days off to go protest or volunteer and during a black lives matter protest they shut down HQ and the entire in office staff went out to participate. We have open, company wide conversations about things like using gendered pro-nouns (don't do it) and office parties always include social justice workshops. They even have a director of social justice. From what I know through mutual co-workers, he would have been sick over people using him to defend racism and harassment- which may not be quite what this idiot was doing, but I've seen it enough for it to be upsetting.

I said he was an idealist... what you're saying would seem to prove my statement.

I don't agree with everything Swartz did, but whether or not his ideals were right is beside the point. At least he believed in something besides money.

[–]Froghurt 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah and if he would've actually implemented his ideals on this website people would've called him an entitled SJW cunt just like they're doing with Ellen Pao when she shut down FPH.

RIP Our Internet Boy, Aaron Swartz. His memory and legacy are worth so much more than this.
