Richard Stallman is a victim of the NGO/Media Industrial Complex. His aloofness makes it easier for him to be a target, but let's be honest, if those people want someone taken down, it will happen. People need to be a little less gullible when they see a news campaign trying to take out yet another anti-establishment voice. In a world where propaganda and manipulation have never been so powerful and coordinated, just because a bunch of voices start yelling smoke, doesn't mean there's fire. Or doesn't mean that the fire is anything more than a lit match not deserving your attention. The selective guidance of your attention and outrage always end up doing one thing: supporting the goals of the 1% at the expense of the 99%. Also people need to show more tolerance for someone having the occasional wrongthink (especially since he says he was convinced and changed his mind about adult/child sex years ago). Stallman is human, same as you. Unless you're an NPC, you almost certainly have one or two beliefs that would get you targeted and canceled if people found out about it. If you say you don't, if all your beliefs happen to line up with the Twitterati on every issue, then perhaps you should engage in some self-reflection. (EDIT: removed some unnecessary language)
