I think we agree more than disagree about how paranoia can become reality. The Snowden fallout rewired my thinking, and I'm still recovering from/reconciling the election.
But some Stallman stuff I see as hyperbole or just wrong.
For example he would label a hobbyist creating a compression utility and choosing to keep code private:
- anti-social
- an instrument of unjust power
- disrespectful of the freedom of others
He makes no distinction between government oppression or megacorp monopolies, and 1 person making personal choices. In reality things fall on a spectrum.
