Because I’m not a fascist who thinks everyone I disagree with deserves to suffer. I can disagree with someone and also think it’s wrong they’re homeless or suffering. If only people who agree with your politics deserve housing then you’re going to exclude most homeless from help

Nobody has an unlimited capacity to help. The fact that you’re spending your capacity on someone like Stallman, rather than, say, indigenous climate activists priced out of the cities where they do their lobbying? Says a lot about the type of behavior you want to see more of.

The fact that you think someone deserves to be homeless and risk death for their political views says you’re not nearly as liberal as you think you are. Additionally, the core ethos of fascism is a classification of anyone you disagree with as an enemy. Am I your enemy now?

1. Did I ever say Stallman deserves to be homeless? No. I questioned why you are spending your capacity on a bad actor. 2. Did I even reference his political views? No. I referenced his _actions_ of repeated & deliberate alienation over a 30-year timeframe.

You might find it fruitful to ask yourself why you feel so defensive about this.

I’m not defensive, I’m pointing out that your supposed progressive views are actually authoritarian and abusive. By questioning my motivation for helping someone and implying I’m not allowed to help them, or that helping them means I agree with them, you *are* being a fascist.
