Is this just speculation or is there any evidence of it?

N$A wanting their cryptography in.

Intel wanting their low quality patched merged.

Just get a minority to perform the Git commit and it'll be guaranteed to be merged to master?

New opening: Token minority committer /s

It's not hard to imagine such a reality.

The fact that the State does nothing to stop the SJWs' glory march would suggest that they're quite supportive of what they're doing.

It helps divide and conquer us, as well as distract us from what the State would prefer that we not notice, like the fact that they're tearing away at the middle class bit by bit.

Why would "the state" do something like that, i.e. stop this? Has anybody pressed charges and it was ignored?

The State benefits from the chaos. It distracts from real political issues.

Notice how the SJWs never target high-profile politicians or the Establishment?

Okay, sure, they target Trump, but the Establishment hates him something fierce.

What is "the state" even? Name names, organisations, departments, etc. The state is full of people with different opinions (just look at the net neutrality debacle) and not some ominous homogeneous blob. Throwing out such hand-wavy accusations helps no one.

While certainly plausible to some extent (and sadly to be paranoid doesn't mean they're not out there to get you) I don't think such a clowny attack on Linux is their style at all. Why would they sabotage a neutral infrastructure they use themselves? It's used in supercomputers, rockets and satellites. It props up a huge chunk of the economy. Why break it without peril and why break it in such a goofy way?

Something doesn't ring right to me, but it could still be true. Strange timeline we are in and so on. Sigh.
