I would hardly tell anyone to blindly accept everything or anything Stallman (or for the matter, any charismatic leader) says.
However, "I told you so" is a phrase much needed these days... specially directed towards people that insist on making the same kind of mistakes that drove us to the mess we're right now.
- pyre 12y agoLook. Coming from someone that already "drinks the kool-aid" I find those people off-putting. Do you really think that people who currently disbelieve are going to suddenly "see the light" from them? It comes across to me as a massive circle-jerk. "Look! I^HStallman was right!" Think about it this way. What would make you consider a vegan diet/lifestyle? A person calmly having a reasoned discussion with you, presenting you with facts, and chatting about your concerns? Or the 'angry vegan' on the street corner screaming "Meat is Murder" and "Shame on you" to everyone passing by? > However, "I told you so" is a phrase much needed these days... specially directed towards people that insist on making the same kind of mistakes that drove us to the mess we're right now. "I told you so" is the opposite of constructive. If you feel that it is constructive, I suggest that you re-evaluate your methods for dealing with other people.
