Sounds like there's too much being read into it.

I use st, it's one of the best terminal emulators I've found, and I'm not going to stop using it just because some possibly-associated dev made a kinda-sorta-tasteless joke when they named some random server.

Wow okay.. Some people have too much time on their hands. Since I'm not giving them my money, I honestly don't really care what they do.

It's just a social event they did. Nothing to it. The conversation continued a bit with a discussion on what exactly what means with "cultural marxism", and it's not as bad as this snippet might make it appear. But can't add context lest people give the benefit of the doubt, ey?

I actually like suckless software and I'm a little (lot) annoyed by the overwhelming "sides" of politics, especially the left because a lot of US tech comes from a left wing belief and sometimes people online beat me over the head with it and make me annoyed.

But, to be clear, there are three things here:

1) They're doing a Tiki Torch walk, during a time when it was heavily politicised.

2) They're adapting Nazi slogans as hostnames

3) They're denigrating "Cultural Marxism".

Any one of these alone I would probably defend, but 3 is a pattern and not a good one.
