Sure some people have unnecessarily big egos and people who are public figures are already preselected for that.
But at least activists are working towards increasing our freedoms, as opposed to the people who have even bigger egos, are addicted to having their egos stroked and are working towards reducing your freedoms and owning everything (Musk/Bezos/Zuckerberg etc.)

I don't applaud these other despicables either, fwiw they should be stripped of their assets exceeding 1 Billion (the minute they hit that mark) or they should be fair game to the masses to hunt them down. But hey that's just my opinion as an absolute nobody so it doesn't matter what I think (luckily). In contrast all these people with a god-syndrome think their opinions matter and their sh1t doesn't stink. It is up to nobodies like us to bring them back to reality so they don't ever forget that this isn't some religious cult they're running. And especially RMS! I happen to have enjoyed his company at a dinner after a linux conf in the 90ies so my opinions about him are extremely harsh. The man is in love with himself and will be happy to walk over anyone younger or more junior than him and he will also not give credit to others. Maybe he changed after all these years but last I heard he was ousted from the FSF for some horrid behavior? As I said I'm perfectly capable of holding multiple opinions about RMS because it's important to separate the man from his work. But I refuse to answer demands of stroking his ego when what I actually want to do is ask him a series of question about his upbringing and his fragile personality and his relationship to his mother who sadly never slapped him or the dad who he probably never knew.
