Thats fine, but I also would argue against this kind of purity testing. Where a person is written off because they disagree with you on one or two issue. There are a lot of colorful characters in the community so you would quickly end up very alone...
I think overall DT is a good advocate for FOSS.
I like this point of view. I struggle with it myself. It's the reason I didn't watch this video when he released it. I didn't want to write him off. He's made a few comments here or there over the years that has let me glean some info where he just seems like he'd be a tackleberry mall ninja type (works loss prevention/aka mall cop).
But maybe he isn't, and regardless, I watched his videos for the FOSS content and he really doesnt get political(usually ..this video was out of left field). I try to separate the "art from the artist" so to speak.
That said, I wish "artists" didn't make that so difficult.
For some reason, I feel like he would look better posing with a wooden-body hunting or sniper rifle.
