I know a lot of y’all are probably reeling from that Stallman report and I’ve even seen people remarking on how no one was listening until now.
What you need to understand is that the things in that report have been known, widely, for many years. They are not “open secrets”. They are things people have actively tried to address, at significant scale, many many times. Some of those times even resulted in (brief) consequences.
The man Is like a cockroach in more ways than I care to describe and what we should all be noticing here is the how incredibly impossible it is to remove an influential white man from power and have him face real consequences. He’s not even remotely rich.
The people defending him aren’t turning a blind eye. They are actively, knowingly enabling him. And that’s not because they care about the movement…
…it’s because they know they are like him, and if he suffers consequences, they’ll be next. And that just won’t do. They don’t give a shit about a “movement” that’s basically petered out by now.
