I've tweeted for many years about how awful Richard "RMS" Stallman is - the pedophilia, the ableism, the misogyny. Inevitably, each time I do, dudes examine my receipts & then say "all those incidents are from years ago! he's changed now!" NOPE.https://medium.com/@selamie/remove-richard-stallman-fec6ec210794 …

Yeah, the Free Software movement is filled with fascist, misogynistic, anti-anything that has to do with the left in general. Of course Free Software isn't more valuable than women But I don't think a world without Free Software would be a free world +

RMS was pretty far left before "the left" jumped the shark. Don't make the mistake of using "the left" as a synonym for "good". Anti-left is a very good thing in 2019, IMHO, even if it was a bad thing as recently as 2009.

Why is it a good thing now but was a bad thing in 2009?

Because the left went stark raving mad over the last 10 years or so. They're no longer interested in free speech, in "colour-blindness" (non-racialism, not literal blindness) or even the presumption of innocence. Just 3 off the top of my head.
