Can I have a concealed weapon as I meet gates? I’ll take one for the team

EABOD25 ,

Damn dude. Why so much hate for Bill? Did I miss something?

MagisterSieran ,

…He’s a billionaire.

EABOD25 ,

So he needs to die? What kind of sick logic is that?

Rivalarrival ,

It would be a much better world with a bounty on the head of anyone worth more than a billion dollars. Pay your employees more, charge your customers less, divest your ownership interests. Buy more products and services from the market, rather than lending to it.

EABOD25 ,

But you’re worth more than a billion dollars to someone

Rivalarrival ,

Then that someone can kill me.

EABOD25 ,

Well, at least you’re dedicated to your ideology. Good trait to have I suppose…

You only amass that kind of wealth and power by stepping on the backs of those you deem beneath you.

Billionaires are a cancer on society.

EABOD25 ,

Money and greed are the cancer. To be honest I’m not sure if I would be a different person if I had the same amount of wealth as say like Bill Gates. I’d like to think I would be willing to distribute more accordingly, but I’ve never been put in that situation before. Can you sat any different?

Bill was friends with Epstein after he was convicted for pedophilia they even had sleepovers in Bills mansion.

Bill Gates: My mommy was on the board at IBM and bought me a monopoly. I took that lesson to heart for the rest of my life and always pursued back door deals and monopolies.

Richard Stallman: I told you how you would find yourself without public commons in a neo feudal dystopia that would destroy the very fabric of democracy because it was the obvious outcome. I gave you fucktards an alternative but you clowns were far too stupid to listen and threw away freedom and democracy. Now you have the worst leader in the history of the country by every metric known, and a traitor that attempted a coup just like Hitler, saying the same things as Hitler, running on a ballet for leader one again, while you do not have freedom of information because of the digital coup I tried to prevent and warn you about. You mock what you lack the depth to understand and in so doing you are the joke.

TootSweet ,

Damn. Um… Neither, please?

I’d love to have steak sitting across from Linus. Bradley Kuhn from the SFC is an awesome guy.

But if I had to pick between Gates and Stallman… I guess Stallman so I can grill him about why he’s been sabotaging the the Free Software movement so badly.

Do I also have to partake of the foot fungus?

CaptainBasculin ,

Double it and give it to the next person

Today ,

‘Would you rather’ would be a fun community.

SnokenKeekaGuard ,

I’ve thought about making it but stopped since I already mod like 7.

There is one on Lemmyworld but it’s lemmyworld

maliciousonion ,

What’s wrong with lemmyworld?

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

I only know Bill.

Stallman would have been jealous. drewdevault.com/…/2023-11-26-RMS-on-sex.html

Hes also spoken up about the inherent power imbalances between an adult and a minor. Maybe read what he has to say from his blog than reading what other people have cherry picked for you to create a narrative.

Inui ,

It literally links to his blog numerous times, but keep playing defense. It always makes the open source community look great to continue their associations with him.

slacktoid ,
@slacktoid@lemmy.ml avatar

Go read the rest of his blog then and come back. Youd at least see this man is neurodivergent as hell.

Inui ,

So am I. Being neurodivergent doesn’t excuse making people feel unsafe or uncomfortable in your presence because of your comments about sex with children and inappropriate behavior toward women.

He was a large contributer to the open software movement. That’s fair. But there’s no need to idolize him or anyone else when there are plenty of other capable people who dont behave this way.

slacktoid ,
@slacktoid@lemmy.ml avatar

Good for you but not all neurodivergence is the same. Assuming that is silly af.

Its more the principle that people can grow and their opinions can grow and change over time. People can make people accidentally feel uncomfortable due to their awkwardness.

Has this person actually done anything harmful or influenced anything harmful apart from some bad takes. I don’t think so. I dont think hes a good face for the FSF. But i also dont think he should be exiled.

Inui , (edited )

It seems like you didn’t read the link I posted because the point is to demonstrate that he clearly hasn’t changed his opinion in any meaningful way. Using neurodivergence as an excuse for disgusting behavior is also silly af. His presence is harmful because of what it signals to people who have to work with him. That his views and inappropriate behavior (especially toward women) will be tolerated. It isn’t just ‘bad takes’, its sexually harassing people and normalizing pedophilia. Its very strange you seem to be so against bigotry in other threads but have a soft spot for this particular sex pest.

@slacktoid@lemmy.ml avatar

I read it when the author published it. I recognize the link.

I’m not using neurodivergence as an excuse but we are also talking about someone who didnt understand why its weird to pick your toenails in public and then put that in your mouth. Like i dunno who else does that. He also comes off very pedantic to a fault and overshares every little thing on his blog. I doubt he sees the issues of that or how that can be weaponized.

wrt to how it signals to the community, thats why i think he shouldn’t be the face of the FSF community.

also www.wetheweb.org/post/cancel-we-the-webjorgemorais.gitlab.io/justice-for-rms/

Thats part of why. Hes a dumb pedantic oversharing idiot. I dont think thats a crime. Also sex pest implies he actively went out of his way to harass people. Which by now we would have heard more about. To me this is all smoke no fire almost manufactured. Hence my stance. Point me to the fire and ill change my stance about him.

again to reiterate. He shouldn’t be the face of the FSF community.

its very strange how you seem progressive but dont believe people can grow or change and that everyone must be exactly the same.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

I hope Bill wasn’t encouraging of him, but I wouldn’t blame them just for being friends and having sleepovers (as long as they didn’t bring anyone).

slacktoid ,
@slacktoid@lemmy.ml avatar

Bill was on the Epstein list

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

Well crud.

Kit ,

Stallman is the easy answer. We can play a board game after dinner.

I’d rather hang out with foot fungus eating Stallman than hang out with friend of convicted pedophile Bill Gates, who hung out even after Epstein was convicted for pedophilia. what about you OP?
