Stallman Going SJW on us?
Brody Reed

Back when Linux first added a CoCk anons were going ape shit over it.
One user sent stallman an email asking what he thought and his reply was something along the lines of not liking CoCs because they are restrictive by nature.
However, somewhere he decided to put up his own CoC called gnu Kind gnu.org

Got it. I didn't know, thanks.
Daniel Bennett
he's had that sort of content for more than a decade
look at this article of his, for instance:
it's really unfair to call him anything close to SJW because of the article you mentioned. he's just high IQ and idealistic, and such people will tend to want equality among peers and individual freedom, and a broad definition of who their peers are. and the "genderless pronoun" matter as he presents it is a bona fide linguistics nerd issue.

I agree that he is smart, and that makes his articles even more odd. What's wrong with my solution - I don't claim to be the first to think of this - to the pronoun issues Stallman raises? Use he/she to refer to sex, and whichever you want for a hypothetical person. Like says, the idea of gender is pretty much man-made. So why over-complicate the issue when we can just dismiss it altogether? I was expecting Stallman's view on the issue to be similar with what I just described. That's why I was a bit shocked, and maybe disappointed, cause I generally regard him as a smart man.
Also, I will once more agree with . Stallman is not a SJW. He genuinely tries to find solutions, contrary to SJWs. Would you describe him as politically progressive or Liberal?

I meant to say >Also, I will once more agree with .

he cares about equality in a sense that is probably unappealing to shrieking SJWs, he doesn't care about corporations and states... he's pretty much the definition of a radical centrist.

Using "per" as a pronoun makes no sense grammatically because neither "he" nor "she" are syllables of "man" or "woman". Singular "they" and neutral "he" have centuries of precedence, so just use those when talking about a non-specific person. When talking about a specific person who does identifies with neither "he" nor "she", that's their problem, there is nothing but those two in human biology.
Nah, he's just half-Jewish. He got the memo that said to give bad advice to the goyim, but he did not get the other memo that said not to actually follow the advice he gives out.
Gavin Allen
Nice mental gymnastics there, fag. Singular they makes no sense grammatically.
