Extremism as a Weapon Against GNU/Linux (Microsoft Lunduke)

Good riddance; Lunduke speaks for Microsoft, not for us

3 days ago: For the Second Time, Bryan Lunduke From Microsoft is Siccing Racist Trolls and Vandals at Me

Relying on delusions like the frequency illusion, Microsoft Lunduke is becoming more extreme over time. There's this phenomenon wherein people start looking for more extreme views, as their existing extremism isn't strong enough. Stuff like "ISIS is a bunch of pussies, I want to join a cult even more radical than ISIS..."

This basically helps describe what happened to Microsoft Lunduke in recent years. As he become more and more marginalised (even right wingers reject him and don't wish to associate with him) he turned to 4Chan in search of an audience and now he generalises to the point of asserting GNU/Linux harbours "rapists, pedophiles, and general degenerates".

There are many connections to rapists and pedophiles at Microsoft, but Microsoft Lunduke never ever talked about them. What he means by "degenerates" is just people who Apple became stereotyped/conflated with. They're not even degenerates, they might just be gay people. His use of the term "degenerates" is aligned with the "MAGA lexicon" or the mindset of the "hard right".

Anyway, Microsoft Lunduke is becoming more extreme every day. At the end his audience will be reduced to nothing. Going to further extremes won't open any doors; it'll just piss people off, even people who used to donate to support his show (before he became too nutty even for them).

As I said here for a number of years already, he also does great damage by adopting some criticisms of certain organisations like the Linux Foundation, then discrediting those criticisms by association and stigma. They start saying stuff like, "that's just a talking point of [Microsoft] Lunduke, hence we can ignore it..."

Microsoft's very own Halloween Documents mention this as a tactic and in the political or intelligence spheres it's sometimes known as agent provocateur.

agent provocateur

Microsoft Lunduke is about Judaism as much as ISIS is about Islam. Lunduke is about Microsoftism as per the Halloween Documents.

He ought to know the Halloween Documents. Wasn't he a Microsoft employee when these came out?
