Before the tatoo'd elderly #Punks were
#BlackPanthers & hippies on acid
Before them were the Beat Generation
I was in my 40s before I figured out there have always been #ungovernable #Antifa #sjws
Being honest, the brightest lights among them were #BIPOC
Bending the arc of history is an ancient craft
No.
First, this HAS BEEN a lynching.
Thanks God, not a physical one, but a cybernetic one: misinformed people all over the world has been coordinated to shitpost him till they got his head at #FSF. But he has been lynched for WHAT HE WROTE. He hasn't been removed for his bad behavior with women. He hasn't been removed for his political use of his position in #GNU. He has been removed because of this "outcry" for what he wrote.
Now, if you argue that any of his behavior was so abusive that he alienated dozen of people from FS, without such behavior being illegal, then I agree with you: you should fight to change your laws to forbid such behaviour.
But if you argue that he should be held accountable for his #political opinions (most of which, I don't share) because such opinions alienated dozen, I think you haven't understand what free software is.
As I said, #programming is a form.of expression: as President of #Free #Software Foundation and leader of #GNU, RMS had the duty to fully express his weird opinions.
People who can't live in a pluralistic society, working with people who have the weirdest opinions (but do no crime), don't really want #freedom, not for everybody at least. So if people left the free software movement for RMS opinions, they did the right thing (at least at that moment of their life) since they weren't going to contribute to freedom.
I think your valuation error is well evidenced by the use of the "productive" word. You are measiring people contribution by their throughput, as if GNU was a corporation building products that will compete in the market.
It is not.
It's a Political movement!
The real issue with RMS is that he doesn't belong to any of the minorities that populate #US remorse. He isn't a person.of color. He isn't a woman. He isn't gay. And so on.
He is a #hacker.
#SJWs' passion for inclusion stop before of us.
We are too different to be included.
Too weird. We do not deserve due processes or civil rights. We not even #human to your eyes, I guess.
You want a bunch of nice, politically correct (aka hypocrites), people in FS. And RMS is not one of them.
On Why The Social Justice Warrior Ideology Is Fundamentally Medieval
In which a logic & political theory nerd takes on the #ChurchOfWoke, and offers a hand-drawn Political Ideology Cube as a companion.
Do note that boost ≠ full endorsement, he said with an air of futility.
