Something is wrong with Techrights

Techrights is a site that claims it's "a progressive site which
supports software freedom and advocates digital diversity through
standardisation (naturally, it is against monopoly)"
http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

However upon short term investigation this can be proven false in
regards to supporting freedom. I suggest that the site itself is very
progressive but that is where the truth ends. Techrights has an agenda
and it's not about true freedom, it's about an ideology and their
freedom to enforce it upon others.

Several questions are raised in my mind

1) Is Techrights the propaganda wing of the FSF? is it a psyop? is it
a left wing think tank?

2) Is Techrights part of a marxist conspiracy to abolish private
property?

3) Who funds and has a vested interest in the activities of
Techrights, if not the FSF?

A lot of these questions are raised due to the ideology that
Techrights publishes on a daily basis: That nothing may ever be owned
by anyone. He publishes articles that attack anyone who wants to write
or use proprietary software. People no longer have the freedom to make
bad decisions. You can't just choose Free Software anymore. It is an
assumption that you will use it and you're an evil or bad person if
you don't. There is something wrong with you if you don't follow the
same ideology - you're being brainwashed by Koch (A man by the way who
made his fortune building oil refineries for the progressive marxist
Stalin). You've been duped by Murdock if you don't agree with Roy or
his progressive followers. Every journalist who praises proprietary
software or technology is a paid employee of the inventor company.

Roy himself is a bit of a mystery. His name translates to Roi in
French - which means King. He works with the University of Manchester
working on patented proprietary software which he tells us isn't being
used to track people - even though the university of manchester's
patent explains it's purpose. It's just supposed to be a coincidence
that Roy uses photos of faces to test out the algorithm. It "could" be
used to do facial tracking but don't worry about that at all. Roy is
helping us.

http://www.google.com/patents?id=5cEVAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&source=gbs_overview_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false

Among these issues Techrights and it's most zealous followers exhibit
the same marxist behavior I accuse Roy of publishing - however they do
it a lot worse. In their IRC channel common themes of discussion
revolve around ideas they were given in the liberal media. They all
support depopulation insisting there are too many people. There is a
pro abortion bias. More fun facts include that only humans cause
climate change/warming. They all attack Fox news exclusivly and no
other news paper - and frequently it can be seen that the Guardian UK
is linked as a source for "facts".

When the site describes itself as progressive, and it's members act
progressively it's safe to say it's a socialist breeding ground. You
go there to talk about the freedom of source code. After a while
you'll have bought into the entire ideology and will lynch those who
aren't as software pure as you. You might even accuse those who don't
agree with you as working for the devil (Microsoft), or that you're
brainwashed, or that you're a troll.

They talk about a "mono cult" yet none exists. There are Mono advocate
but none of them are doing any lynching or preaching their ideology on
others. None of them are telling you that you don't have the freedom
to do what you want even if other people don't like it. They are
writing code and having fun with life. They are not harping on others
writing angry messages from their welfare funded computers. They
aren't accusing others of being part of a conspiracy when they don't
follow the same belief system. It's almost like the FSF is a cult/
religion.

I have no idea what the motives behind the site are but it's really
nothing more than a divisive hate site which does little to edify Linux
but does much to make Linux advocates look like paranoid loons.

Linux advocacy *does* have many of the same traits as a religious cult
and the FOSS brings even that to an entirely new level of weird.

Then you should be very happy?

Afterall it was you I believe with the childish banter of "techloons" so
why are you making comment on Roy's site? Surely, it helps promote your
"opinions"?

You've plonked me so many times I can't keep track.
Looks like I can add lying to the list of your, ahem, traits.

There is no question about it Poaster has that dynamic personality that
people just sort of gravitate towards.

He really should consider a second career as a crash test dummy.

Absolutely. That site stands as a shrine to MS-hating FOSS losers and
liars everywhere.

From the home page of techrights.org:

* AttachMSFT, hypeOS

(hey, you try to belittle flattie for using 'Techloons' but don't say a
bleepin' word about Spamowitz's snide insults - hypocrite much, Gooblin?)

* "Mono intrusions"

* "Microsoft shelved Suse"

* "inevitably resulting in [Microsoft's] demise"

* "Facebook's sheer hypocrisy and close ties with Microsoft"


And that's just the first page. Spamowitz looks like a dishonest idiot
throughout.

So tell him to keep up the good work, you heah?

Exactly!

Sites like Techloons are making Microsoft very happy these days.
Why?
Because they show how radical and paranoid the Linux FOSS community
really is.
The more these people are exposed, the better.
And the beauty is they are doing all the work themselves!

Send people to the site and they will walk away disliking Linux and the
FOSS philosophy.
Unless of course they are true nuts, then they will feel welcome and at
home there as a card carrying FOSS cult member.
