people cancelling #fsf because #rms is back on board: don't expect my sympathies if you are next.
half a century ago people have lost their job and public life because someone accused them of being communist, with show trials and everything. a bit farther back in time they were even killed. all in the name of the "good cause".
@bonifartius People have always enjoyed witch hunts.
i think that the behaviour of #rms can be criticized, but the methods used today are fucking disgusting. single persons getting steamrolled by thousands with accusations, public dismantling of their person, and calls for instant action. it's a mob eagerly awaiting the next public hanging.
