There are a few weird guys in there that I wasn’t already aware of. I knew that Louis Rossmann was kind of an asshole, but being openly active on kiwifarms is actually fucked up.

    I think this list was naming them fascists originally. But now he relaxed the definition and included even more.

    What is the purpose of publishing such a wide reaching (shit)list of people? When it was naming them fascists he was exposing himself to defamation lawsuits I’m pretty sure.

    Drew certainly gives the ick with such passive agressive stuff. Maybe he should put himself on that list of his as well.

      Calling someone a fascist is hardly defamation in US law, especially since basically everyone on the list are working towards a society where it’s absolutely fine to call them fascists, because they’re fascists and want to make fascism great again.

      OK maybe not RMS

        Drew immigrated to Netherlands if my memory serves me right. I do not know know their laws on the topic but defamation lawsuits are a real thing. I suspect this is the reason for rewording.

        What about Gerling? Maybe some others as well? It’s a grave accusation.

        Like Gerling putting up two blogposts 15 years ago? Sorry but this is some bullshit. I cannot consider Drew to be a good faith actor. It all started with his weird RMS allegations and now this. Maybe kiwifarms is the place for him.

            It sure was, especially considering the counter accusations which he never responded to.

              it sure wasn’t, considering that rms’ highly problematic antics are well known for literal decades, and ddv only amplified them.

              if not for the fact the bylaws of fsf basically give stallman control over the foundation no matter who’s voted into the board, he’d be ousted many times.

                Never realized Stallman did a Zuckerberg before Zuckerberg did, that’s worth knowing and definitely not a point in his favor

        i mean, there must come a reckoning, and believe me that every single dude on that list will try to memoryhole their activities
