It’s less the tongue and more that the mouth is too open.

I mean you can if you’re rich enough. But yeah.

FOSS is not more political than paying taxes.

If we’re including the other option, not paying taxes, then I agree. The choice of whether or not to use FOSS is as political as the choice of whether or not to pay taxes.

FOSS is inherently political, it’s about whether or not you should have complete control of something you own. That’s a political stance.

Everything anyone cares about is political.

I get it. I’m too squeamish to go through with it though.

That makes sense 🫂

I hear you, and i’m sorry for what you went through. You deserve justice and medical care and to have your voice heard, and it saddens me that you aren’t getting that.

Obviously you’re free to say what you want how you want. I don’t disagree with anything you just said, but none of that context came through in your initial comment, so maybe it came across differently than you intended it to. I’m sorry that we’ve made you feel worthless. You aren’t worthless, and you deserve to be heard.

Well if that’s what you think then maybe stick to that messaging instead of victim blaming. It muddies your message and makes enemies of your allies (as evidenced in this very thread).

All you had to say was “Glad the liberals are finally seeing the truth about this guy” or something like that. Cut the friendly fire - womens issues are everybody’s issues, even if many women can’t see that we’re all on the same team.

Absolutely true - but that doesn’t make it ok to victim blame.

Victim blaming distracts from the person whose fault it really is - the perpetrator - and instead creates a new discourse that isn’t actually helping anyone.
