Poor Stallman

I'm so sad right now.

>>156

Stallman has never gotten within a dozen orders of magnitude of being penniless in his life.

See how hyperbole works? He was penniless in comparison to the kind of money required to buy a Harvard degree for someone who cannot make it on skill, in the same way that, if rms and his mother had a hypothetical weekly food budget of only $10, then for your "dozen orders of magnitude" to be true they would have had to have a weekly budget of $10 trillion, which would pay off the US national debt in three weeks.

He was born into an upper-middle class family and coasted on family money until it got him firmly entrenched

Please try to make up more plausible falsehoods, or at least more entertaining ones, since your current ones are easily dismissed by a search on his youth. On this side of reality, as opposed to your alternate version, up to age 14 he was raised by a "divorced single mother" who was a "substitute art teacher", and they lived in a "tiny one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side". When he was 14, his mother remarried, this time to a "major in the Air National Guard". Not to a business owner or bank board member or anything similar. At this point rms and his mother moved into the middle class, but still not your "upper-middle class" since e.g. they moved into a more spacious apartment, not a house in the suburbs. To see what "upper-middle class" looks like check out Marty's family at the end of the first Back to the Future movie. It is delusional to think that a substitute art teacher and a major in the Air National Guard have enough money to buy a Harvard degree for someone who cannot make it on skill.

Also, in addition to the opinions of university mathematics professors who were Stallman's classmates not receiving any answer of substance, you would also have to believe that Gerald Sussman was such a clueless chap that he would hire anyone as a research assistant, and he just randomly hired Stallman. You may have heard of this Sussman fellow.

he's an inveterate parasite

So someone who gives away the fruits of his labor, to the benefit and improvement of the programming community, is "an inveterate parasite". I also guess you've never heard that the free software community functions as a gift economy. The Ministry of Truth could probably easily find a position for you. Tell me again which continent we have always been at war with.

Quote a Twitter thread to prove Elon Musk is a brilliant self-made entrepreneur next.

I'm certain that if you put in a little effort, you can come up with a better, less flammable strawman, to further dilute your position. I believe in you, Anon.
