I have already depicted open source as Chad, and the closed source as the virgin.

I find it really funny the US are trying to maintain their global position as tech leader while in the midst of a fascist take over. You know what’s incompatible with a thriving tech industry? Fascism. You can survive a little while after a take over, but eventually your rigorous little Christian commune of a society isn’t going to produce engineers, scientists or anyone with a taste level worth a damn.

Fake: Open source is the most efficient way to get communities to push and develop technology. People gathering to discuss, work, and share solely for the interest of the subject, serves the subject. People putting in effort in exchange for resources will only be serving self-interest, and never be wholly dedicated to the project goal.

Gay: Capitalists are only interested in advancing technology for monetary gain; if reversing genuine improvement serves their greed, they will do (and have done) so.

Edit: double gay, most open source people are also wearing cute thigh high socks rn

Attacking their arguments is pointless. Attack their sense of pride and superiority. Make them appear foolish and weak. Point out that they’re too late to stop open-source models, and that their sense of superiority blinded them to notice that a new, cheaper snake oil had outclassed theirs.

Yes, yes they should. Along with the closed source ones.
