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
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.
