Drew used to be a hugely inspiring developer to me, but recently he's spent more time politicizing than anything else. I find it difficult to understand people who nosily theorize a lot and build little, which is what Drew has become. FOSS works well when you have a large margin to allow other ideas to fly around, even if you personally disagree with those ideas.
The Hyprland guy argues like a free speech absolutist while Drew wants him to join the neo-religious cult of perpetual rage and victim-hood.
Genocide is a tactic. Like nuking, flooding, fire bombing cities. Or beheading people. Or setting them afire. Or punishing entire tribes/clans for the crimes of one individual.
Universal morality does not exist. Whether something is "right" or "wrong" depends on the context in which it is used.
It may be that they can disagree on other things, but agree on a small thing, like "this code works, or doesn't."
It may be that they don't need to makes sure the whole community can agree on anything besides the thing the community was organized around: in the case of most FOSS, code.
Yes genocide is bad. What has it got to do with the code?

Are you calling their religion wrong? That may be punishable by beheading.
