That's still no reason to be cruel or inhumane to him. Nobody deserves to be homeless.

Where are you getting “homeless” from that blog post? I’m getting “my current roommate is sick of me.” His list of must-haves does not suggest desperation.

As someone who was actually homeless the concept doesn’t require sleeping on the street. It starts with just suddenly needing a new place to live, and then can get much worse if not assisted quickly.

Finding affordable, safe housing is difficult, as well as emotionally fraught. But countless people in the world face this problem right now. Why help this one, especially when you are so well aware of how he has denigrated, belittled, & pushed women out of tech for decades?

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.
