Computer Scientist Richard Stallman Resigns from MIT Over Epstein Comments
Computer Scientist Richard Stallman Resigns From MIT Over Epstein Comments
Famed free software advocate and computer scientist Richard Stallman has resigned from MIT, according to an email he published online. The resignation comes after Stallman made comments about victims of child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, including that the victims went along with the abuse willingly.
"I am resigning effective immediately from my position in CSAIL at MIT," Stallman wrote in the email, referring to MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. "I am doing this due to pressure on MIT and me over a series of misunderstandings and mischaracterizations."
[...] Last week, Motherboard published the full email thread in which Stallman wrote that the "most plausible scenario" is that Epstein's underage victims in his campaign of trafficking were "entirely willing." Stallman also argued about the definition of "rape" and whether the term applies to the victims.
[Ed.'s note - just because Vice say things in the above blockquote does not mean that SoylentNews or its editors consider it a demonstrably provable representation of reality. We're just reporting that they are reporting, nothing more. At least this Ed. finds out-of-context quoting of short inflamatory phrases to be particularly disingenuous, and perhaps even a warning sign that manipulation of a quote has taking place. -- FP.]

stallman is a carefully selected hobby horse for them to attack so that none of the obviously culpable people at places like the new york times and cnn are brought under any scrutiny.
It clearly defines the oligarchy, mr stallman has never been in that and they are looking for any possible way to discredit his other ideas.
'cancel culture' is perpeturated by the oligarchy, all of the members who, like epstein demonstrated, have vast PR firms at their disposal and these lynch mobs, mostly smoke and mirrors, can be deployed at the push of a button.
See my comment below, 'entire oligarchy proved to be doing exactly what we are told they never due, only person who is shamed for it is richard stallman.'
In other news bicyclists need to get licenses and vaping is outlawed, race tensions between blacks and whites are seriously inflamed, 5 random shootings in a week completely clears the news cycle. Vice news ran soft humanizing pieces on pedophiles and pro-jewish stories the week after his death with no investigation into that death. Fear the walking dead had an older jewish man rescuing a 13 year old girl with an M16, odd coincidence doin't you think?
You can really see the outlines of a real cult by how the media handles this, and anyone who doesn't step up to condemn it loudly is telling us something about themselves and we should listen.
And anyone who thinks epstein is dead or that he only victimized 'post-pubescent' children has a real special case of gullibility.
