The goals of RMS is much more ambitious then to make you stop using Google. RMS tries to move you to create world where freedom is normal and accessible for all. Or at least he tries to make you to dream about such a world. If there would be enough people who wants freedom, maybe there would be more freedom?
The one great thing, which RMS tries to make clear to everyone, that you can be free only if you are able to restrict youself. The world works such a way that you have a choice: either to have self discipline and free or to be disciplined by world. The more self disciplined people are in the world, the more freedom would be in the world.
Not everyone is ready to restrict herself to make world more free. But someone do it. RMS is the ideological leader for such a people. Like Dalay Lama or some priests of other religions. At least we can look at them and compare they life with ours. Compare and choose consiously.
Ah, and there is more then two possible choices. You are free to choose some tradeoff between sides which is acceptable to you personally.
