Comparing Norton selling their company (even to a scummy owner like Symantec) to Pétain collaborating with Nazi Germany feels a bit ... extreme ... to me.

- embedding-shape 20d agoYup, that's exactly what I said. Quoting myself verbatim: > Norton selling his company is exactly like Pétain collaborating with Nazi Germany I wish I didn't say that, but what can you do. Sometime y'all need to probably chug a glass a water and re-read the comment you're about to reply to.
- bbarn 20d agoPétain was a soldier with what, 50 years of experience when he made that choice? He picked the wrong side obviously, but is it also possible he did what he though was best for France? Both things can be true.
- embedding-shape 20d agoYeah, I don't doubt that he did what he thought was best, I think most if not all humans do that most of the time. But I do think the general sentiment about him did shift a bit after he made that choice, which was the point.
