As a very liberal person, I have to say that I am disgusted by cancel culture. Disgusted. This is so harmful to society, and is a dark path that the left has taken in my country. To put it plainly, my political party has turned into whinny little people. People should lose their jobs over things like sexual or any type of harassment but when I read Stallman's actual comments last year, I thought that it was very clea…
You don't sound very liberal to me.

Walk me through how that shows that he's not "a very liberal person."

#186I strongly support the concept and the practical benefits of both Firefox and Tor, but I would never have anything to do with the two organizations behind the software. How many people in the Tor project leadership directly supported or did not directly oppose the death threats, home invasion, cyber bullying, and extra-judicial punishment involving Jacob Appelbaum? Free software is built on volunteers doing what is o…

And, IIRC, if you donate money to Mozilla, none of it will go into Firefox development.

Testimony happens in a court of law not on Twitter. Show us the testimony.
Legal testimony happens in a court of law. Testimony can happen anywhere. Religious testimony for instance. Or testimonial advertising.
To which kind of testimony were you referring in your GP comment?

#188> Having a bed in his office at MIT is creepy as hell. My understanding is that he slept (ie. lived) in his office, so having a bed there would be normal, not "creepy as hell." Also, many professors have beds in their labs in case of long-running experiments. I've seen them and thought it was practical. I read all of the related links about Stallman and didn't see any actual evidence. What's odd about the US left is…

#189I hope Richard Stallman becomes the director again and fires every SJW at the FSF. If you don't fire these people they will fire you.
Revenge isn’t really his thing
They liked to cancel people based on lies and lack on
evidence, so they will get what they supported.
Hope they like the concept of karma.

I just did the same - no contributions to Tor from me. As I mentioned in a different comment, I also just uninstalled Firefox. Slightly off topic, I have been hammering my friends when they start spouting off cancel culture. I am considerably to the left of most of my friends who are democrats so I don't think it is political. Too many people judge written or spoken words based on who said them, rather than the conte…
>I also just uninstalled Firefox. I already ditched Mozilla over the Brendan Eich smear. I'm through with Maoist-inspired tech. The idea that people must atone and genuflect for having a contrary opinion is purely reprehensible.
Brendan Eich tried to cancel 4.9% of the population of California.
