"You can say 'all are welcome,' but if wolves and sheep are both welcome then you're only going to get wolves. The the smart sheep will go somewhere else and the naive sheep will be eaten and processed. [...] Refusing to choose is a choice. It's a choice in favor of the people who prey on others and who refuse to acknowledge the humanity of those they hate."

@ekuber

This reminds me of Rush's "Freewill" ("If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice"), but more poignant. It makes you think of the loss when you make such a decision

@ekuber is that a BSL license endorsement ?
@Vrixyz I fail to see the relation
@ekuber « all are welcome to use my software » in #true opensource ; versus « no wolves allowed » in BSL
@Vrixyz @ekuber Quite the opposite. The BSL is used by wolves.

@ekuber There is a comic about tolerance, that goes something like: "To be tolerant you must not tolerate intolerance"

But it's too far down my matodon likes to find...

@ekuber Welctually, if you look at the history of wolf-sheep relations, you'll notice that one time when the sheep tamed some wolves to serve them as shepherds.
@ekuber MHm, for some reason when starting to read the toot, somehow I put it into the context of immigration. Suddenly it has a quite different tone to it. Mhm…
@sheogorath you're not far from the context of the quote.
