>I don't care what RMS thinks of women, honestly; I care what he thinks about code and computers and freedom.
God, I love it when the mask comes off completely.
I think RMS is a net good in the world. 99% of everything he's ever said and done has been some weird superposition of cringe and prophetic. The entire world owes him a debt of gratitude, but instead he's being slow boiled like so many other folks. I find it disgusting, and cowardly.
Go on ahead and pretend "equity" is somehow progress for as long as you want; eventually, when you're living in a failed state along the lines of South Africa, you'll understand.
It's just refreshing to see the sociopaths come out to display plumage from time to time, without the usual pretense or prevarication.
At least in the case of RMS he's still a net good for the species, in a utilitarian sense, even with what we know of his misdeeds. I won't defend them, rather, the way I look at it is that there was undoubtedly going to be someone of their ilk harassing women, and at least this one has also done something meaningful to go with it. At this point of civilizational decay, I will take what I can get.
