Earnestly anyone else I would assume hiding ill intent, but with Stallman i earnestly think he’s just too autistic to realize when he has an exceptionally stupid opinion that might sound fine in a frictionless vacuum with spherical cows

While Stallman and the FSF have done great things for FOSS software, Richard Stallman is a man who has needed to Shut The Fuck Up for well over two decades. Every time he decides to share some dipshit opinion he manages to set not just FOSS Software but all of nerdom back

He once had to have someone explain to him why he needed to immediately run back a post that was basically “but what if someone underage consents?” (To his credit, he did run it back)

He eats his own foot peelings in the middle of conference talks

He is…a parody of gross unsocialized nerds except it’s unironic
