The paradox of tolerance, one of a genre. Do you have a moment to talk about our dear lord? Rather than being an impotent cult, free software & free society is a political and ideological movement. An oxymoron then: an apolitical political movement. What do we mean by free? An enslaved society with access to source code? Only someone of much priviledge and narrow horizon would say that to be the goal. Free as in: give me my rights? Give me my freedom? Are we just crying and having tantrums then? Pledging with father figures? Amargi. Return to mother womb. Those who hold on to guns and abuse others say it's a mistery that the sumerian word for freedom would literaly mean that. A place of nurture and protection where one grows according to ones internal dispositions. Sounds like the perfect metaphor for free software communities where one's individual freedom may grow according to their own pace because there is this comunal environment of mutual suport, of a commons for which we all care, of "sharing is caring". We grow together on that environment, but would wither out in its absense. There's nothing wrong with fancying oneself a wizard. But one would be taking their childhood fantasies too far if they start seeing other people as orcs invading their turf at the bid of some evil lord. Instead of being freed by their wizardry, they would be binding themselves to a nightmarish environment where their skills go to waste as mere tricks to convey power. Hacking society
