Reputation of Jewish people?

Torvalds has a great character and is humble, though because of his “straightforward” personality he has a reputation of being hotheaded and arrogant. For example: Torvalds: I want to be nice, and curse less, but it’s just not in me

Please don’t tell me you wear adidas (founded by a Nazi), or drive a Ford (made by an antisemite), or listen to Wagner, (a racist), or drive a Volkswagen, or play Minecraft, or use wix, or eat at Chick-fil-A, or…etc etc

[parties] serve always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection.

I wish that we did not have such a polarized 2-party system in the US. It’s hard to find a system that reduces political strategizing while encouraging democracy, so I find this document interesting.

Seems like an unnecessarily douchey email from your roommate. Hope they’re chill otherwise.
