General Discussion • Re: Pale Moon's PR Problem

this thread is about PR

Christian worldview ... pacifism, rejection of the profit motive etc ... peaceful relations between faiths

Here's a thought re the whole idea of open source software, where everyone is invited to contribute, participate, and use cooperatively. In the old days, tribalism prevented anything from operating this way. Then a new anti-tribal approach was invented, which enabled a better kind of civilization to happen. This invention was a basic tenet of a movement that happened to arise "as part of" Christianity, and became the basis of so-called "western values". To be clear: this comment is not about religion nor faith nor a higher power. It is about the need for this arguably superior form of civilization to be upheld and defended at every opportunity, because it is attacked every minute by those who cling to the old ways. As for PM, I believe it will help to acknowledge that even in the modern era some cultures cannot allow mindsets to exist that are compatible with open source etc, because of how those cultures are. In other words, don't be surprised when OSS is always under attack by self-righteous, non-tolerant, tribalist cultures.
