    After I came forward about being assaulted, Someone accused Linus of inappropriate conduct on twitter.

    He came over to my corner and started BERATING HER. Calling her insane, mentally ill, an attention seeker, and just digging into this poor woman who had felt wronged by him.

    Linus sounds pretty consciously malicious to me…

      That’s interpersonally malicious. A selfish kind of malicious. Yes, quite bad, but it’s not the scheming necessary of villain businessman.

      It does go to show how all it takes is a person being given more power than they’re accepting of responsibility for. Like most bad small business leaders or “entrepreneurs” especially, Linus became a boss before he internalized and processed his struggles as a worker. He quite directly fails to understand the power dynamics.

      Remember: I still think he’s unqualified. I’m merely pointing out the details of how Hanlon’s razor applies here. He’s a bit of a selfish, lazy nerd, unqualified to control the very business he built. Ahh capitalism. It truly rewards the most qualified callously shrewd.
