Summary: The mainstream media or corporate (owned by corporations) media has been weaponised to manipulate society instead of informing it; we need to ‘vaccinate’ ourselves against mob mentality and defamatory hatchet jobs that frame good people as dangerous villains

MY VIDEO above ended up longer than expected and it gives some background about what we mean by ‘Cancel Culture’, seeing that it was weaponised against Linus Torvalds [1, 2] almost 5 years ago. Basically, a bunch of people who had long attempted to overthrow Torvalds (for rejecting their code/agenda; they never stopped) liaised with some co-called ‘journalists’, who in turn put pressure on the Linux Foundation by public shaming. Some more pertinent details were illuminated in prior parts 1, 2, 3] and later today or tomorrow we hope to finish this part of the series (about Torvalds) and then move on to parts about other Free software personalities.

We’re a bit tight in time at the moment because there’s a lot we want to publish before Friday’s decision about the EPO‘s NO-Career System and rumours suggest the Microsoft layoffs might start as early as next Monday.
