On Ideological Purity - Joan Westenberg:

When it comes to software freedom, low-carbon, & anti-DRM fights... I'd say I'm individually quite pure, but not perfectly. But that's not really my goal.
My goal is to help society move towards that direction! To make it easier for others to!
And part of that is not shaming people!
@alcinnz that's a good piece from Westernberg. I agree: it's about intention. I wrote something very similar years back: https://davelane.nz/nethui-insight-open-about-intent - We, who have a strong idealistic position, aren't trying to shame (if some feel ashamed, it's inferred by them, not implied by us). No, we're just trying to *show what's possible*. By demonstrating those ideals, my intent is to empower others with the realisation that living those ideals is possible. Yeah, I do it imperfectly, but I'm getting better.
