RMS apparently resigned. Apparently. As in, he apparently chose, of his own "free will", to resign from his own foundation. The Free Software Foundation. That foundation which is the origin foundation for our free software movement. He was the BDFL of the FSF. To resign (if true) was a very unfortunate acqiescense to SJW terrorists masquerading as SJWs, somehow very effectively shifting the entire public (lame stream media) discourse away from the Epstein connections to Bill Gates and Microsoft which was hitting the headlines. And so a scalp, a sacrifice had to be made, and RMS fell for the MSM exposure bait. Sorry but no, we don't need "more protective laws" from the government, what we do need is for men to man the firetruck up and STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS AND THE RIGHTS OF ONE ANOTHER. That is, to speak up, publicly, clearly, strongly, in particular in defense of those such as RMS, Linus and others who demonstrate those annoying traits of contributing the bulk of their lives to improving the tools and systems in our world. It's not much to ask. Linus Torvalds got taken down about a year ago - evidently he did not have sufficient support for his right to speak bluntly and crassly and or in any other damn way that pleases him. RMS, founder and originator of the Free Software Foundation, did not have sufficient support for his simple and straightforward words about words used to conflate or mislead readers (or listeners) about Epstein or anyone else for that matter, and RMS has now resigned from the FSF. And THIS, fellow Souls, is damned and bloody indictment on us all! On Tue, Sep 17, 2019 at 05:53:51PM -0700, Steven Schear wrote:

Or maybe just generational takeover, then why not handover.
Submitting to a terrorist, including the extremely intolerant tolerance-nazis called "SJW"s, i.e. "SJW terrorists", is an exercise in giving up territory to arseholes, giving up ground, ceding the battle and perhaps the war.
Handover when sensible, but this is not sensible.
Even IF Stallman's views were "intolerable" to the majority in society, HE IS ENTITLED TO HIS VIEWS.
Alternate views "are now intolerable".
Western man (to generalise) is cuckolded, blackmailed, isolated, his abilities envied, his woman lusted, his talents decried, his thoughts outlawed and his every foundation SJW terrorised.
This is a very, very sad day.
Evidently Stallman failed to have one or two strong (of character) men around him to support his right to speak views that differ from the lame stream.
One man cannot win the war.
But one man of good character supported by AT LEAST ONE OTHER MAN OF GOOD CHARACTER, if he is Aryan, has a fighting fucking chance against the entire fucking world.
Men must man the fuck up.
Bad move, RMS. I do feel your pain, but damn this was a bad move.
Folks must start to defend the right of fellow Souls to hold contrary views and to speak and argue those views publicly.
Cede this ground at the very near peril of a Western "Pol Pot" hell on earth very soon scenario.
You must live your rights, and support those of good character to likewise live our rights.
