schestowitz> im watching "planet of the humans"-- which makes the case that corporations have entirely taken over the environmental movement, and are turning all living resources on earth into fuel-- forests, animals, everything-- and it uses more fossil fuels than it replaces.May 23 04:16
schestowitz>May 23 04:16
schestowitz> this news is too big to not be sceptical-- if the documentary is true, humanity is ALREADY in the process of going extinct. you and i both love free speech and free software. i know its not the only cause you love-- i know you care about the environment, economic justice (in whatever form of that appeals to you) and despite all corporate media attacks, people of all walks of life.May 23 04:16
schestowitz>May 23 04:16
schestowitz> ill be researching the claims of the film when im done watching it-- its nearly over. but if its true, it makes very clear that green energy is a corporate scam, and that only energy use reduction MIGHT save the human race. that is not surprising. the only shocking part is seeing it in such vibrant, clear facts up close.May 23 04:16
schestowitz>May 23 04:16
schestowitz> this corporate takeover and exploitation of environmentalism at the cost of human life jibes too well with my own examination of the free software movement as taken over by corporations-- including so-called defense interests.May 23 04:16
schestowitz>May 23 04:16
schestowitz> they are the biggest polluters on earth. they are the biggest mass murderers alive. and they run the united states government.May 23 04:16
schestowitz>May 23 04:16
schestowitz> i am firmly against the coup that displaced you, but in a way you are lucky it happened. it makes it clear (as anybody familiar with your work would suspect) that you are not part of the problem that i think has taken over free software.May 23 04:16
schestowitz>May 23 04:16
schestowitz> because they havent just taken over the environmental groups-- these corporations have taken over all our movements.May 23 04:17
schestowitz>May 23 04:17
schestowitz> "grassroots" matters more than ever. sadly, i dont think there is any saving the fsf. but youre obviously welcome to try. if humanity has a future, free software may as well. free software-- but maybe not the fsf. not if its been co-opted half as badly as the environmental movement.May 23 04:17
schestowitz>May 23 04:17
schestowitz> i wonder how much this documentary is exaggerating, or what it will look like after researching it further. gnu radio and gnustep do not act like part of the gnu project anymore. they dont act like they really care about freedom, only about gnustep and gnu radio.May 23 04:17
schestowitz>May 23 04:17
schestowitz> youre still a hacker, you just dont code.May 23 04:17
schestowitz>May 23 04:17
schestowitz> happy hacking.May 23 04:17
schestowitzThe movie has been heavily criticised along many lines. More than a dozen links with rebuttals in Daily Links.May 23 04:17
schestowitz> it certainly looks like michael moore is up to his usual shit. that guy needs a pie in the face as badly as gates did.May 23 04:19
schestowitzYes,May 23 04:19
schestowitz1. a lot of his premise is flawed or a half-truthMay 23 04:19
schestowitz2. he offends for attentionMay 23 04:19
schestowitz3. remember his movie Trumpland?May 23 04:19
schestowitzI could go on. Wife and I were going to watch the film, had it bookmarked, then I said WAIT!!! Lots of bad feedback on it, let's not even bother.May 23 04:19
schestowitz>> “Stop using gendered language. Is it really so difficult to use germxn and make people feel more safe and secure?”May 23 04:35
schestowitz>> Poe’s Law hits hart when you can’t tell an actual feminist apart from a 4chan troll who just pretends to be a feminist.May 23 04:35
schestowitz> There you go again, the ungendered term is xxxxnist. I'm pretty sure I got all the gender out of that one. (This is why I never support such mandatory nonsense. But I'm somewhat adaptable/accommodating on pronouns.) And yes, I know Poe's Law.May 23 04:35
schestowitzI try to completely avoid these neo-politics as I call them. They're mostly traps or entrapments; you can never appease everyone, only "offend" people... whose decisions are likely motivated by insecurities in the first place, so offence is easily approachable.May 23 04:35
