Helped design the RSS standard (as a teenager, mind you), actually stood for free speech, co-founded reddit, which was actually pretty good about free speech in the first several years. Published a fuckton of studies that were previously locked behind a paywall because he believed information wants to be free, and was investigated by the FBI for it. Killed himself at 26, after which reddit went to shit.

But sure, if he was Jewish that's really what's important here. You people are so obsessed with this shit.

What did you expect? Simple minds simply haven't the processing power to grasp these kind of concepts.

Seems like a troll to me. Their only two comments are pointing out people who are jewish. I will gladly say that I have a bunch of stuff regarding the "jewish question" on this account, but it's not just "hurr derr he's a jew he must be evil." In my eyes, that's just as dumb as SJWs who say "don't trust that old cis white male, they're inherently racist".

I think there's room for to discuss the jewish question, but there are also trolls who just try to hurt the image of forums where these discussions take place.

I dunno, there's tons of anti-semitism on this site. This guy is in good company.

Honestly the only reason he's not getting upvoted is because it's Aaron Schwarz.
