No Netflix and Chill for RMS!

Thanks, RMS, for explaining to me how I should feel. I was frequently confused in the past when a Netflix-produced video started, thinking "I'm not sure how I should be feeling about this" but you cleared that right up for me!
Don't tell me what to do, feel, or think, you pretentious prick. I'm happy to listen to your arguments, but by telling me how to react to them, you insult my intelligence, belittle my ability to do what is the right thing for me, and are finally no different from the very organisations you despise and rant against. Your version of "freedom" isn't very free at all.
