I remember when it was the *right wingers* who proudly claimed that reality was whatever they wanted it to be, and sneered at the "reality based community" who cared about what was actually true and what wasn't. How times have changed -- the so-called "left" now actively want corporations to censor viewpoints other than their own, not just "fake news" but *inconvenient truths*. I'd much rather be sneered at by right-wingers than cancelled, censored, smeared, banned, assaulted and arrested by neoliberal rainbow-haired corporate faux-leftists. "Indiscretions" is an excellent word. It literally means *not discreet*, that is, not respectful of secrects, not avoiding causing embarrassment. The secrets to which I speak are things which everyone knows are true, but polite society pretends are not, and gets embarrassed or shocked when forced to confront those indiscreet facts. For more on the long, repeated attempts to do to Richard Stallman what they did to Eric Raymond, see: https://geoff.greer.fm/2019/09/30/in-defense-of-richard-stallman/ https://www.wetheweb.org/post/cancel-we-the-web https://libreboot.org/news/rms.html Stallman is an actual anti-corporatist leftist, but he is still respected and influential in FOSS circles, which is why he has to go. If you are not suckling at the teat of megacorps, the woke want you silenced, and they will lie and distort to do so. -- Steve
