False equivalency - I agree Stallman might have had some outdated visions for his projects (word processing? Realy? Nobody cares about that anymore).

I also accept the FSF/GNU don't operate like a typical authoritarian company - although I do think there are probably more similarities due to the fact power structures and human psychology dictate certain behaviors than FSF or Stalmman care to admit. But we absolutely shouldn't expect him or the FSF to operate in a similar manner, corps are what produce the toxic behaviors in the first place (not human toxic, toxic to society).

Being nice and polite, and being forced to murder kids and pillage third world countries, that has always had the smack of pure evil to it to me.

Maybe being polite is overrated after all. Fuck off, hitler (or whomever the evil dictator is).
