@48kRAM From reading this, Stallman sounds like the kind of guy who would defend P. Diddy.

@icedquinn @thegreatape there's literally whole orgs dedicated to coddling women's egos and shit.This is all performative. I don't understand why people continue to not listen when women time and time again say they do not feel safe or comfortable in tech, let alone the free software movement. I just had a talk with someone about this, and while I don't think Stallman is the root of the problem, he is just one example of how the movement is riddled with misogyny and out of touch white males. Because that's exactly what it is. I am already a minority within the minority of women in the field, who are primarily white or asian to begin with. I would feel much more at ease if people just admitted that my experiences don't matter to them. The same way I've called out racism on here from leftists while their friends turn a blind eye to it.

@teratology @thegreatape i think a lot of foss people have the biggest shrug, because unlike venture capital there is literally no approval required to run your own project. there is literally nothing whatsoever to stop women from writing bash scripts.a lot of it comes down to stuff that women don't like, but is irrelevant to men, like if somebody just says mean words to a man they're pretty much expected to cope and carry on.i've been watching a lot of this from the sidelines for a long time and to a limited extent there's just like... idk. some of its just tribal differences, once you remove the -actual- assaults etc

@sun @icedquinn @thegreatape I just want to make it clear that RMS is the least of women's problems in the industry. I think that there is more to say about people who defend him and his retarded thoughts without question, but as a whole we do live in a patriarchal society and I think that this network loves to avoid why people of gender are more over represented than women like me. Some food for thought.

I've been harassed and sexually harassed by people in the free software community. Even in corporate environments as a 18 year old I've had CEOs openly tell me that they believe women are intellectually inferior right after hiring me. It is no surprise that misogyny is rampant in tech, when it is so pervasive in women's everyday lives. People say mean and fucked up shit to me all the time, for the sole reason that I am a Brown Woman. Nobody comes to bat for me and I don't expect them to. But to act as if women as a whole are coddled or a protected class in tech is a reflection of misogyny.

@icedquinn @thegreatape maybe if they were buddies with the CEO? Aside from my Indian project manager I was the only WoC in the building and the accountant would bully us both. It was jarring and a toxic workplace environment. They hired a Mexican man to replace me and he just took over my desk without asking and everyone backed up that behavior. Product manager was a friend of the CEO and that's why he could get away with throwing paperwork on our desks before 5pm.

@arcana @icedquinn @thegreatape @teratology silicon valley success is mostly gatekept by VC money, that comes with strings attached. It's possible to succeed as a garage business but it's not the norm so you can't really appeal to that. it's one thing if someone is untintentionally rude to you making a hostile work environment, it's another when somebody actively impedes your success because of a bias

@mischievoustomato @icedquinn @thegreatape I don't care how long ago it was, but it's sickening how normalized it is to gloss over an autists' longwinded blogpost defending child rape. If it wasn't for him retracting it back in 2019, people would still be defending him because of "cancer", or because of his undeniable contributions to the free software movement. On the surface, people here talk mad game about wanting to kill nonces but don't bring the same energy once it's their favorite RMS. I'm not surprised in the least, but it's still disgusting. When I was 14/15 I was still a fan, as a grown woman I'm extremely disappointed in him since learning of these posts and the free software movement as a whole, but that's just a small window inside the sexism, misogyny, and double standards in the tech community towards women as a whole. I was mistreated and treated horribly by a handful of racist or sexist professors in undergrad as well. I've only had one female professor, I am not lying and I don't care if anyone believes me. I also do recognize that it wasn't always like this and that women dominated computing prior to WWII, but the scientific community has also downplayed women's contributions and work (Rosalind Franklin for example). Even in the USSR, doctors were paid less when women dominated the field. This shit in programming is just an extension of the many ways it is a man's world.

Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. If I am taking up space, I might as well make people uncomfortable if they hold prejudiced views. I just wish there was more community for women in FOSS because I know a lot more on the corporate end of things :firefox:

@teratology @mischievoustomato @thegreatape women did not really dominate computing. programming was seen as secretarial work, because they were just typing machine code in to a console after the male academic did all the design work on a blackboard.computer workers in general were held with a much higher degree of respect as men of science though.if i recall RMS' point it was more to do with how society assigns an arbitrary number to adulthood, one that societies don't even organically agree with. to a point you can't even ask them how they derive these dates either because its just kind of arbitrarily set. so whether something is legally pedophilia has a different result in the USA as it does the virgin islands, to japan, or those weird german states where age of consent is like 12, or France where age of consent is "whatever the judge feels like today"its one of those things that is philosophically correct but a normal person's need to pass compliance tests would compel them to shut up and go yup law says this, weathers great innit

@arcana @icedquinn @sun @thegreatape People aren’t rising through merit currently, they’re complaining about equity and playing oppression Olympics.The idea that I don't go through technical interviews and hoops with HR is verifiably false. I have never gotten a job through "oppression olympics". Society is patriarchal as a whole and I can't expect it's effects on the industry to change when so many people are willing to frame women as "victims" who just happen to get turned off tech by hostile work environments and autistic weirdos.

@48kRAM I blocked "The Stallman Report" because (a) it was attributed to "anonymous editors", (b) allegations in some of the replies sounded like things that should have been reported to the police, so if they weren't contacted or did not find it credible, the obvious question is "why", and (c) the whole matter seemed to pop up out of nowhere.Allegations should not be anonymous unless there is a credible reason to believe that there could be some non-trivial retaliation.

@teratology @icedquinn @arcana @eemmaa @thegreatape he basically had no chance because the ivys won't let you in if you're asian on GPA alone anyway, you have to have a high GPA plus some other thing. the thing can't even be stereotypically asian, like being good at piano. Like if you are Asian and are good at lacrosse then you'll get in, this stuff came out in the lawsuit. This is almost 100% analogous to how Jews used to be kept out.

@sun @icedquinn @arcana @eemmaa @thegreatape I mean it isn't surprising but that's how it is in public schools here too, such as UCLA. When I was in highschool we all knew competitive programs required more, esp for impacted majors. Ivy Leagues are historically racist too. I think legacy admissions and bribing admissions should be banned and illegal. Celebrities here were caught bribing other private and public universities but there is more panic about affirmative action when it's illegal where I live.

I am a proud FSF member for over 20 years and a vocal proponent of stallman even when this moral panic first started. https://shitposter.world/notice/An0B4GiP1ng82kqjU8I am in favour of reforming the GPL into a GPL4 but along the lines proposed by @mattskala ie #elevenfreedoms instead of 4

@Lyx @PurpCat @icedquinn @mattskala actually i've got a list of other things that need addressing* GPL4 should make clear that source code should be provided in plaintext not PNG files (this is one of those obvious legal hacks that shouldn't be necessary but totally is, looking at you andrew torba). ie a manner of standard convenience for the user depending on the technology of the day.* GNU Affero should be opt-out not opt-in* What happens if SJWs get in charge of the FSF? The GPL should be hardened against that possibility* I agree with eben moglen that we haven't fully thought out allowing GPL code to spy on users / allowing spyware -- an anti-spyware provision similar to the GPL3 'users must have the key' would make a lot of sense* I agree with richard stallman (2001 nyu speech) that a future GPL (GPL4) could address the power differential between users of mobile systems in some way, that functionally gives more power to users* ...also there's something about movfuscation that needs to be addressed imho.* I think there's something inherently broken about forges that the GPL doesn't quite address. the github problem* Freedom 0 requires the freedom to shield what program you are running from the government / authority. Without such basic privacy, you can't run the program as you wish. Merely running in the presence of state surveillance is not enough imho* @sun had a suggestion on the old SPC but i forget what it was now.

@icedquinn @PurpCat @Lyx @mattskala @sun sure. but at the same time the value of freedom rings true through the GPL. If for example the government of The United States or something requires spyware as a condition of running a computer, the GPL can explicitly deal with this situation in some way. It's like the constitution in that way - even if the US government ignores the constitution, the constitution is still there to charge them with. Even if the SCOTUS decides to scrap the whole thing it's still there waiting to be picked up and implemented later. The spirit of freedom will never be truly extinguished until the last copy of the GPL is forgotten. We are not there yet. And guns aren't the only thing we have to fight governments with. Many governments including the US government use free software and the courts have approved it as a valid license. or contract? How is that VMWare lawsuit or whatever on that point going? I don't even know. Either way our code is helping increase the level of freedom and can continue to do so *if we value it*

@jeffcliff @icedquinn @PurpCat @Lyx @sun "Plain text not PNG" should already be covered by the requirement to provide source in the preferred form for making modifications - though I am aware of, and have written about, the point that "should already be covered" is not dispositive of concerns in practice.

@teratology @icedquinn @thegreatape That's not all you're saying, clearly. You're saying "the movement is riddled with misogyny and out of touch white males"The movement is *being divided by outsiders and being split among fractionalist lines*. Most of the repos I touch have no contributors because people are too busy in bullshit threads like this one rather than actual coding. I would encourage latina and black women to submit me their pull requests and show their worth which I believe is there rather than waste time on race baiting and casual anti-white racism.

@teratology @icedquinn @mischievoustomato @thegreatape I do not see the issue with that. A line has to be drawn somewhere, and RMS is honest enough to do so, while the articles reads as a sophists trying to hide behind ambiguities and plausible deniability, and getting mad when someone tries to set concrete definitions in order.Saying "there isn't evidence for X", then discovering evidence for X and changing your mind is a common thing, at least for intellectually curious men, idk about women tho.

But I frankly don't think this debate, deep down, is about those opinions, I think they're a means to an end and his detractors are using Rules for Radicals tactics in a Machiavellian power play. People that defend him aren't defending his weird views on children and sexuality, they're making him and the FSF a hard line in the sand because of how similar brigades have impacted and corrupted other FOSS projects.

@teratology I never saw the mention of molestation or any synonym thereof anywhere, but whatever nigger, you're not the centre of the universe.I don't care what you consider well-adjusted, but making decisions on things when you have no data is foolish.Because that absence of reasoning can be applicable to literally anything (homosexuality and premarital sex in general can be condemned by the same reasoning)

@Cyrillic he said he talked to people who were victims of said things and that's why he arrived to the conclusion that it is bad. How you jumped from there to homosexuality and premarital sex is beyond me. Stop defending weirdo shit.

@icedquinn @Cyrillic @mischievoustomato @thegreatape @teratology Most people don't have crippling autism rendering them socially inept at the genetic level, either. It's a double-edged sword. I don't think he'd be nearly as committed to the concept of free software without it, but as a side effect we get to hear about his trash opinions on other unrelated things from time to time.You know how this would end if him and his supporters are pushed out. FSF takes the CoC (embrace), anyone insufficiently committed to left-liberal politics gets salami sliced out little by little (extend), and in the end the FSF becomes a toothless circlejerk inhabited by a board of Microsoft, Intel, Google, and IBM employees (extinguish). Nothing gets defended, nothing gets produced, and whatever energy's left in the movement gets sucked into the void.

@arcana @sun @thegreatape @teratology its a random field of opportunity spheres that float around the arena, and when a pawn intersects one they have to pass a die roll 🎲 on their competency level. negative opportunities always cause harm though.in almost every timeline the superwinners were nowhere near the highest performers. it was people who were slightly above garbage (around 60% success rate), with the most opportunities to roll.in another experiment from the same paper they compared the global score instead of personal ones, and just straight sortition ended up having better odds of picking people that were hyper-competent.there is some realistic evidence that people are regularly crap at selection decisions (Thinking Fast & Slow) or predictions of success (Save the Cat.)

@jeffcliff I suggest actually reading the GPLv3; https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html>* GPL4 should make clear that source code should be provided in plaintext not PNG files/screenshots/photographs/xeroxes of source code/etc`The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work.` - a PNG wouldn't be the preferred form for making modifications to it - a UTF-8 file would be though.>* GNU Affero should be opt-out not opt-inNumerous people suggested making the Affero clause part of the GPLv3, but many companies didn't like that and claimed that they would fork GPLv2 versions rather than allow for freedom.The current arrangement licenses is fine really, as you can just go with the AGPLv3-or-later and it's compatible with the GPLv3 - as both licenses are compatible with each other.>* What happens if SJWs get in charge of the FSF? The GPL should be hardened against that possibility`The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.`.That would no longer be the FSF and it wouldn't be similar in spirit, the GPLv3 is already hardened against that.>* I agree with eben moglen that we haven't fully thought out allowing GPL code to spy on users / allowing spyware -- an anti-spyware provision similar to the GPL3 'users must have the key' would make a lot of senseCopyright does not cover spyware, thus a license can't do anything about it.Every single time someone goes and adds spyware to free software, someone just goes and takes it out and releases a fixed version - so the spyware problem isn't an issue.>* I agree with richard stallman (2001 nyu speech) that a future GPL (GPL4) could address the power differential between users of mobile systems in some way, that functionally gives more power to usersAdjustments to better suit mobile and IoStings devices may be suitable.>* ...also there's something about movfuscation that needs to be addressed imho.Obfuscated source code is not the preferred form of making modifications, so the GPLv3 doesn't allow that.>* I think there's something inherently broken about forges that the GPL doesn't quite address. the github problemCopyright does not apply to what websites people host software on, although more legal action against microsoft does need to be taken for all of the copyright infringement they are doing.>* Freedom 0 requires the freedom to shield what program you are running from the government / authority. Without such basic privacy, you can't run the program as you wish. Merely running in the presence of state surveillance is not enough imhoThe GPLv3 takes steps to ensure that you are not required to inform a particular party or the government that you are running the software; "You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work."

@toiletpaper @icedquinn @arcana @mischievoustomato @sun @thegreatape white supremacy as a system is extremely dependent and influenced by capitalism, settler colonialism is violent. I'm not saying that Indigenous people didn't have their own territorial disputes or feudal issues, but modern "civilized" society has been built upon the trans Atlantic slave trade and genocide of Indigenous people. Genocide is specific to settler colonialism, Palestine is only shocking people because it's in early stages. That is not to deny the fact that the East African slave trade and Arabic conquests went on centuries before modern western colonialism.

@teratology @icedquinn @arcana @mischievoustomato @sun @thegreatape I'm not a fan of white supremacy and settler colonialism either, but I don't think it's got much to do with capitalism. Capitalism rests upon the voluntary consent of the individual and is heavily informed by Classical Liberal philosophy. Both colonialism and slavery are anathema to the core tenets of the idea. The concept of capitalism is also thousands of years more modern (ie. since Adam Smith) than ethnic nationalism or colonialism, much less slavery.The Africans sold into slavery were rounded up and sold by other black people (eg. the Dahomey empire). That had been the status quo long before "white people" showed up, just not as lucrative. As to "white people" mostly it was justified on the basis of Abrahamic religion, and had much less to do with the complexion of either slaves or their traders. Particularly given that Irish, British and Slavic people were prised as slaves, especially in the context of sexual slavery (eg. saqaliba, mamluks, etc). They just happened to be more expensive, and so fewer in number. Even in the USA prior to slavery for life becoming legalised, white people were very often slaves. An example would be Anthony Johnson, himself a slave from Angola, who once freed went on to own 5 white people and another black to work his plantation. Hardly an exception to the rule.As far as I'm aware Jews and Muslims aren't even considered "white people" nor held accountable, in spite of being the most prolific purveyors of slaves during that era. The the entire history of slavery in the USA involves about 388K people over the course of 300 years or so, which is minuscule compared to estimated total 10-12 million other parts of the the Americas. Take Brazil for instance, which today has more Yoruba people living there than Nigeria. Slavery was never legal in Canada, which was actually a destination for those feeling captivity. Doesn't stop "white people" in Canada from being blamed though (speaking from experience). Similarly free African Americans were around twice as likely to own slaves in the antebellum south as their white neighbours. Even Amerindians were in on it, which continues to be a source of legal conflict to this day (eg. Cherokee freedmen, Black Seminoles, etc). Moreover, "white people" were the ones to end the slave trade in the 1800's. Almost everywhere else in the world which wasn't a colonial country, it continues unabated to this day. For instance in Mali, many Tuareg continue to own an entire other ethnic group called the Ikelan, as they did long before "white people" were on the scene. It's still perfectly legal. That's just one example of many. The main difference with Westerners is we owned up to it and ended the practice.But as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished.> Palestine is only shocking people because it's in early stages.That conflict has been going on for nearly a century now. It started in the late 1800's with Ashkenazi terrorist groups attacking Muslims and later also British. The concept of Zionism itself was invented by Protestant Christians in the mid 1500's in an effort to bring about the end of the world according to their delusional BuyBull prophesies. It didn't catch on with Jews until 3 centuries later, mainly Ashkenazim, and specifically the fascist German Zionist Federation which collaborated with the Nazis (Haavara Agreement, etc) in order to provide incentive for European Jews to go along with their colonisation plan. The only reason it has anything to do with the rest of us is because of Christian Zionism's influence in the USA and UK, and the fact that Jewish Zionists have turned both into puppet governments. I'm glad the recent news finally clued you in, but none of this is news to me in the slightest.> ...East African slave trade and Arabic conquests went on centuries before modern western colonialism.Bingo. And that's just one part of the non-Eurocentric world to consider in the same light.

@toiletpaper @icedquinn @arcana @mischievoustomato @sun @thegreatape the idea that slaves did not take part in their own liberation is ahistorical, re Haiti. Abraham Lincoln was racist and did not truly end slavery. Slavery did not just happen in the states, it happened during Spanish colonialism too. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here, I'm aware that colonialism predates capitalism. Othering people for economic gain was specific to the slave trade in the south. Colonized peoples do not need or require "white saviors" for their liberation. I'm aware of Zionisms roots. Birthright is no different than manifest destiny. Indigenous people see many parallels between our struggle and Palestine's. The issue is many people have issues with what Israel is doing but they don't bring the same energy when it comes to the ongoing genocidal projects in the states, Canada, etc.

@arcana @icedquinn @mischievoustomato @sun @thegreatape @toiletpaper it is ahistorical to pretend that western civilization wasn't built on white supremacy, genocide, and slavery. That is the distinction. Slavery is still ongoing in Africa, but Haiti is still paying the price for freedom to France. Colonial projects still exist and Indigenous people are still fighting for their rights and pretending that they no longer exist is anti indigenous. Hawaii, the Philippines, Mexico, and the global south deserve freedom and sovereignty from U.S imperialism and extractivism. Most of the pollution in my country comes from U.S and Canada.

Nonetheless it was due also to the concerted efforts of their white and male allies like William Lloyd Garrison and countless others that slavery and gender inequality were expunged from the law. On the other hand, this current generation is dead set on reversing that by putting all manner of legislation in place on a racial and gender/sex basis, provided it privileges their own demographic.> Othering people for economic gain was specific to the slave tradeTotally explains all the socialist/communist people who blame the 1% and capitalism...> The issue is many people have issues with what Israel is doing but they don't bring the same energy when it comes to the ongoing genocidal projects in the states, Canada, etc.Indeed! A fact I've never failed to remind people of when given the chance.> Colonized peoples do not need or require "white saviors" for their liberation.Maybe not saviours, but I do think you need allies. Alienating and othering people such as myself who've had your backs from day one, isn't gonna work out well for you. I used to be very vocal about this stuff, but after too many years of hearing all kinds of hateful rhetoric directed at "cis white heterosexual men", I'm basically at the point now where y'all can get fucked as far as I'm concerned. You're (in the broad sense) no better than the people you aim to replace.

@arcana french colonies had a bit of a problem where france built a lot of shit to "help" them be resource extractors for the homeland, then billed them for the privilege of the sweat shops and harbors, and when the colony rebelled france turned around and screamed about debt and restitutions, so the rest of the eurosphere basically banned them from trade until they paid off debts they never wanted back to europe.sort of an organized blockade, in that specific case.@mischievoustomato @sun @thegreatape @toiletpaper @teratology

@toiletpaper @icedquinn @arcana @mischievoustomato @sun @thegreatape allies don't victimize themselves you're a white man in society? Boohoo? Like bruh you're talking to someone whose family has been displaced by U.S imperialism and violence. My boyfriend is white himself and doesn't get hostile or defensive with me when I discuss U.S history or imperialism that has happened in central America and the global south. You shouldn't feel othered when we discuss history and how the trans-atlantic slave trade has a unique historical context in comparison to the Arab conquests and invasion in Africa. I haven't denied any of that and I mentioned it in my previous post, but denying that the U.S still doesn't have slavery or isn't practicing genocide is Abby Martin levels of genocidal apologia. Black and Brown people are rounded up to die in ghettos, reservations, and the prison industrial complex and it's normalized in the U.S. Canada is a fucked up nation that practiced the biggest legally sanctioned human trafficking operation in history, the 80s scoop. I was told by an older Black woman at a protest that white allies were integral to the civil rights movement, but I don't believe it had anything to do with religion.

More likely it was their relative Paganism (visa-vis hippies and new age spirituality) However the original antislavery movement in colonial America largely stemmed from 19th century Quakers.In terms of 20th century civil rights movement, ever heard of the Rainbow Coalition? I've personally had a couple pretty decent conversations with Bobby Seale several years back, though not specifically about that. He's a good guy. Always treated me with respect without regard to my ethnic background. The activists in this day and age on the other hand most aren't worth the dirt under his toenails afaic.

Family law for one thing. Also, I dare say it would be a hell of a lot easier to get employed in IT these days if I could put my skin colour, gender or sexual orientation on my resume, as opposed to having to have actual qualifications. That's the tip of the iceberg.

This idea that because I'm a woman or a minority doesn't mean I don't go through technical interviews and that I only get jobs because I'm a DEI hire is extremely fucked up and racist. I've never just landed a job out of nowhere. I know women in the industry that are also struggling to find work after tech layoffs.

@teratology @icedquinn @arcana @mischievoustomato @sun @thegreatape I'm sure there are some folks struggling to find work due to layoffs, but just about every job posting I've seen in recent memory has some specific DEI verbiage attached, or some kind of mandate to that effect. If you don't think that's "systemic discrimination" you really don't understand the meaning of either word imo. It's not limited to work in IT by a long shot.As long as I can remember going down to any government services office, there've been posters advertising extra opportunities and extra money for basically every demographic imaginable so long as they're not a "straight white heterosexual cis male". It's hardly a new thing. Goes back at least 30 years. It wasn't fun for Rosa Parks any more than it is for people like me. If that's the idea of social justice these days, then frankly, fuck that!In a lot of cases just being a man is enough (eg. Family law). Having your family being taken away isn't unique to the 60's scoop. Worse yet being charged ransom money in order to continue to be a parent, and even then often finding your rights aren't enforceable. That's been the status quo for nearly 2 centuries now. And most of the pay-gap and other rhetoric is utter bullshit which doesn't stand up to scrutiny. At least us guys are generally grateful to our allies (eg. Erin Pizzy, Ann Cools, Cassie Jaye, Honey Badgers, etc), for all the good it's done us, instead of lumping them in with the perpetrators.You trying to dictate to me about what "white cis heterosexual men" experience systemically is about is credible to me as if I were trying to talk down to you about your experience as an indigenous woman. Probably a lot less so given I've actually taken the time to look into it and listen to what people have to say instead of just regurgitating bullshit ideology.

I draw the line at racist hypocrites though. I do my best to make responsible personal choices, not be persuaded by white guilt and advocacy for collective punishment. If that's the kind of thing you're up to, you can expect me to be unabashedly in opposition to it. When it comes to anti-racism, anti-sexism, etc, either alk the talk or gtfo.

@toiletpaper @icedquinn @arcana @mischievoustomato @sun @thegreatape I understand what you're saying to an extent but you went a bit extreme towards the end there. I'm not discriminating against white people by discussing how white supremacy has shaped modern society. Also focusing on IDPOL is dumb and ignores the needs of the masses, I obviously vibe better with working class people of any background over say, a Black capitalist. Just because Kopmala is a woman, or because AOC is in office, doesn't mean that they're on my side. Compradors also exist in the global south and Mexico and other states in the global south have committed atrocities against Indigenous people there too. I have also noticed that a lot of communists, MLs, whatever you call them, tankies, are really just labor Zionists who don't want Indigenous people to have autonomy over themselves. A lot of the time they want a socialist settler state installed and it just goes to show how deep anti indigenous sentiment goes. Another example would be "anti-imperialist" China's 2-state solution stance.

@teratology @icedquinn @arcana @mischievoustomato @sun @thegreatape Basically my point is we all have our issues and bones to pick. It doesn't serve any of us to dismiss each others concerns, much less on the basis of the same criteria (race, gender, sexuality, etc) that we're trying to reconcile. The only people served by us antagonising each other are those already in power as a consequence of it. It's in their interests to foment these conflicts, whereas it's up to us to be smart enough to see past that and unite as allies and equals in spite of them.

@toiletpaper I don't generally disagree but you will get pushback when you compare your struggles to that of say a Black person. The Irish imo are great examples of allies because they've supported Indigenous nations on multiple continents. It isn't no surprise they know what it's like to be occupied and pushed out of your land. I aim for class solidarity first and foremost. It's just that race and class are very much linked at this point in time. Charles Mills the Racial Contract goes quite in depth about the topic and what the founding fathers all agreed on. growing up I was very much aware that what is taught in schools is white washed and sanitized version of events. Even discussing Hiroshima and Nagasaki in highschool was glossed over.

@tatzelbrumm @baldengineer @48kRAM Stallman has, at least from what I've seen, been the right amount of considerate and dismissive. He doesnt play into the games, but he seems to acknowledge the valid ethical concerns.That said, its also possible he did something really shitty and I just missed it. So if there is a specific example of something shitty he did that warrants this sort of response I will happily review it and consider it to see if it changes my opinion (probably should have been part of this post to be honest).But yea until someone actually provides some valid justification for this sort of reaction I hear this sort of stuff and I will just double down my support for stallman as a victim of a mob with pitchforks.
