Twitter at the speed of parenting
Richard Stallman is homeless: https://stallman.org/seeking-housing.html … If anyone trustworthy in the Boston area has a place where he can stay then email rms at http://gnu.org . Additionally it might be good to find out how this happened and setup a support system to prevent it.

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.

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.

God help you if you or one of your own were in a similar situation, i.e., neuroatypical and facing homelessness.
-
Indeed. I have been in that situation and it sucks.

My heart goes out for anyone without housing. I support a “housing first” approach. I also believe that Stallman has a history of less than desirable co-habitation practiceshttps://daringfireball.net/2019/09/richard_stallmans_disgrace …

I'm half dreading, half morbidly anticipating what'll happen once you've managed to push all the spergs out of tech. Given how bad things can get even now, the results should be... spectacular. Just not in the way you're hoping.

"homelessness is bad, but let's inflict it on people i don't like because other people have to go through it too" or, you know, maybe apply a universal standard and fight against homelessness unilaterally rather than being a hypocrite
-
“I am going to deliberately misinterpret what you say to push my pro-Stallman agenda” Or, I don’t know, stop defending a pedophile from the consequences of his actions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
