environmentalists won't be happy until we're using no labor saving devices to "rape mother Gaia".

Naw dude, that's just the wingnuts who get mass media coverage.

Most environmentalists think reducing pollution is a splendid idea. However, most of them do NOT consider shutting down industrial civilization as an acceptable way to do that.

Even the Labour party dropped it's idiotic "ownership of the means of production" rubbish under Blair and nobody on the left, apart from the usual loons, are arguing to bring it back.

The bigmedia exclude most traditional "leftist" views from public discussion. It's Centrism (i.e. financialist totalitarianism) or nothing.

GPLv3 hurts open source software developers by not having their software adopted or contributed to, entirely to avoid the patent clauses in question.

Funny.. I maintain a few small, GPLv3-licensed libraries. Every few months I receive a request from some random douche asking me to weaken the license to BSD or similar. How many of these requests come from people who have submitted Pull Requests, or at least filed some useful Issues? None, zero, nada, zilch. Just a bunch of opportunists hoping to enclose some Free Software for their own profit.
