Gonna go out on a limb and say that if the only difference between your position and the alt-right's is that you don't like capitalism, you're not actually a progressive.

Cool thing about working at the Internet Archive: folks working on super high-level decentralized web stuff just hanging out on the couches and/or asking me for help setting up NodeJS.

Gender (and other) bias in code reviews and PRs are sadly a real thing. I have seen and experienced it.
