>>7 Pushing back senselessly without any real concept of what you are doing or where you are headed is worthless. It seems to me most FOSS types are selfish yuppies who've bought into a rebellious aesthetic when they are completely non-threatening. This explains their weird cultural politics, their whole act where they pretend to be the opposite of normies and play up how rebellious and radical they are. This is smug fake rebellion. The acting out of a social media image, which is what they accuse "normies" of doing. Yes, computers were intended to control information and serve industry and warfare etc. but the point of early computer hobbyists and Stallman's free software movement was to make computers work for the people and serve a social good. FOSS types today seem to have completely forgotten about this and turned the whole think into a selfish game of acting out a persona and stroking egos.
