    The logic you’re using here; that if RMS is put back on in a minor position he will use it to acquire more power; if the same logic that people who dislike women, lgtbq, etc. use for denying those groups position of power. I just want to point out the hypocrisy that you’re giving special treatment to one group over another. Which is why identity politics in general is so toxic.

      sounds like trolling. sounds like ignorance at best, if that’s the case I am sorry this is not a good place to help you. if it’s the former … see you later

      yeah definetly trolling

      legit causes can always be used to get acquire more power etc… but I don’t see how it can be good for him to return.

      was clearly a criticism towards the fact we can legit causes to get power and exclude rms.

        Oh I misinterpreted your original comment. Didn’t realize it was based on malice towards RMS. I see now. You’re advocating social justice causes over free software causes. Edit: In other words you would take down a vaccine developer company if the lead scientist believed against trans conversion before adulthood, or something controversial like that. Instead of having a vaccine as long as they weren’t in a position of power.

          I advocate for a society in which we don’t miss the opportunity of working with talented people because toxic behavior drives them away from contributing to a better society. But I also believe that we should first ensure people’s right to live, so I wouldn’t refuse access to vaccines based on these principles. I am more likely to ask the company to try to put money(if possible) in education programs, giving the people a chance to act towards change seems to work a long way to build justice.
