As stated in the article, it's not that genuine cosmopolitanism doesn't exist- it's just rare. I'd be somewhat hard-pressed to find a political ideology that does not consider itself to be superior to the other ideologies, one in which the majority of members follow the 'full' ideology rather than a watered-down version. This article seems to be complaining that cosmopolitanism suffers from the same issues as any other ideology, and while that does not make the complaints invalid, it does raise questions as to why it's specifically cosmopolitanism that's being called out on this.
I may be missing something here, or misinterpreting some section, though, so please correct me if I've said something wrong.
Excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't compiling to C instead of e.g. LLVM IR generally considered bad practice unless you have a very good reason due to all of C's undefined behavior?
No, no. Not having your given or legal name associated with your online presence does not automatically make you a troll, nor does having them associated make people less likely to watch what they say.
For example, me. I've been very careful about what I say even though my real name and my alias are not associated. I care about what people think about trajing, even if they can't trace it back to me in real life.
As for the second part, I've read facebook comments in political articles. I will never make that mistake again.
I don't use facebook, but I understand where these people are coming from and support them.
