Important note on the choice to make a list of "weird little guys": calling someone weird is not defamation. Also, as many have pointed out, making them look silly and embarrassing and lame is a big bonus point. And, it makes the scope broad enough to include fascists, bigots, weirdos from all stripes of life.

Cleanly side-steps the problem of "what possibly defamatory label do I apply to this guy who has traits X Y and Z" Weird. He's a fucking weirdo.

@drew@social.freebitcoin.gay As for the list itself: it's certainly your right to call anyone "weirdo", but I wonder what your criteria are. It looks like any developer with average right-wing views would fit well in there.
