@fsfe you now frequently use the term "Open Source" or Free and "Open" which implies that you support using that term.
Free Software and Open Source are not the same thing.

Free Software is about Freedom, Right and Wrong.
Those who campaign for Free Software consider it an an injustice if any one of the freedoms is missing and are activists for a lack of a better term.

Open Source is a business model, buzz word, and non-activist term.

We should not be using this term "Open" or "Open Source" otherwise it reverses the efforts that we have fought for so long on the importance of why the licenses etc are the way they are.

Don't get me wrong, there may be some FSFE staff, volunteers who haven't meant any wrong intentionally, I get that.

That said, I would like to ask kindly that we all stick to using the Free Software movement terminology so that we don't stray away and start accepting things that are an injustice.

I am very proud to say that I am Anti Feminist, reject Anti Fa, reject the hollywood "me too" and other hypocritical and twisted cults.

I reject the propaganda bias that Men are sole and/or primary perpetrators and that Women are innocent and never lie.

Equality means 1 is equal to 1.

Women often on a daily basis commit acts of violence, rape and even murder towards men.

Boys and men are often murdered and massacred and not given an opportunity to live and have an education in the middle east and in the west are equally mistreated in other ways.

However media coverage would have you believe that only girls are victims and that they are the only ones to cry about.

If a child (boy, girl) adult (woman, man - man, woman) is killed we should all feel compassion for those lost and the families that live today without them.

Men's lives matter too!

This is a fact that is buried under all the lies or at the very least well exaggerated portrayals in the so called press.

False accusations towards men is very common and one issue that most men including myself are always concerned about because it is used by Women on a daily basis as a weapon.

Men and Women should respect one another without superiors or subordinates before the laws of what ever country they live.

For every law written that protects a woman, a law must be written to protect men.

In fact, laws should not be Sex specific as equality means that that should protect everyone.

Both Men and Women should be given maternity and paternity leave.

Work should reflect merit.
"Gender" quotas are repulsive.

Every time a man is raped and then accused of being the rapist, glassed, looses his home, talked down to, spoken over (so he can't be heard) we must speak up about it!

Boys and Girls must be raised up to value each other and work together.

Rape and sexual violence must be taken seriously, but also heavily scrutinized and investigated with the idea of innocent till proven guilty and not used as a political tool to attack those that you disagree with because that is what is happening.

Even if that means that some sick men/women are not charged because of a lack of evidence it is far better than having an innocent person in prison because those charged or labeled with sexual violence crimes whether true or false are damaged for life in worse ways than terrorism or any other crime.

Fuck Political Correctness!
If you don't like something, that is normal in a free society.

In order to remain Free we need to be able to speak our minds freely and for youth to develop the ability to think critically to make their own decisions as individuals they will have to be able to handle them selves when they are hurt by things that are said.

Left and Right are false terms to use and don't mean that everything one or the other says should have your blind support.

@kaishin the two peer tube instances with the most users are peertube.mastodon.host and peertube.social

Unfortunately folks upload a lot of porn on these instances rather than on an instance that is more appropriate for that material.

@TheGnuMaster I never meant to say any system can or should work. What I meant is that if the populace doesnt have good morals and good reasoning skills then every system WILL fail.

That said if the populace has those qualities than any system which would fail despite those qualities (such as a monarchy) would be overturned by the people and a system which does work would be chosen.

In the end we have never had a nation on earth where its people were of high enough character to ever create an ideal system...

@freemo I agree that people should have intellectual and moral integrity.

However I disagree that any system can or should work.
There are systems (by systems I mean so called 'democracies') designed to hand cuff the people which are wrong and should not exist.

When the system is rigged to prevent the TRUE free flow of information, even in areas which cause offense (in other words where it hurts) the populous can not make informed decisions and will therefore if they participate will make the wrong decisions.

Just look at the French Presidential Elections.

Macron was a corporate sell out from the start.

People were not informed properly about their choices and due to the American style of fear campaigning a true People's candidate was not able to be elected as the head of state in France.

Hillary Clinton, a war monger and (by many global standards a criminal) was voted by the populous because they again were not informed properly.

The major Internet Companies, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon etc. all interfered with the free flow of information.
So called Mainstream Media TV Networks did the same.

Many Hillary Clinton supporters were and are still to this day, willfully ignorant of their ability as a society to vote for an anti-war candidate (or third party).

I bring up that last paragraph to counter your point on making the system work.
It is not always the best way as the American experiment has continuously throughout its history proven.

Healthcare as a basic right was suppose to be available to American's since the 1940s however because their system is not able to work, HC is still not available today.
