Bringing Down or Taking Down an Innocent Man is Difficult

FSF, MADE BY RMS

We've tried anything... we even got some pervert to call RMS 'pervert'; Our petitions had no effect; There must a way; What would Hitler do? Don't even go there, Molly... we've tried that already; or we could just accept that he started GNU, GPL, and all the rest

RMS, who started GNU/Linux (including compiler, licence etc.), will be giving a Keynote Address this coming Monday. He already gave a talk in India before the weekend. There are even some satisfied people in the audience, where everyone was wearing a mask:

so excited to show richard stallman my debian

About a day ago he belatedly advertised his next talk:

Part of the Technology Future Summit.

Why does all this matter? Because there have been vicious and relentless attempts to make him just 'disappear' (there's this online mob that defames him and those who support him... while on GAFAM payroll), leaving his "baby" orphaned. The intention of the people who do this is very clear. They try to create a vacuum for them to fill and occupy for glory, built upon grotesque revisionism. There's only one thing to be done about it: fight back. Uncancel the innocent or thwart the cancel mob.

One positive thing about all this is that we've come to witness (and meticulously document) how social control media works for the mob. Last week we saw that in YouTube, Google's own social control media.
