Vilification, and arguing against common interests, isn't exactly one-sided.[0] And what's the great divide, anyway? It never seemed to me to be an disagreement about the four freedoms. Some hate that Microsot could just use BSD's TCP/IP stack and make millions, some shudder to think of the pain and suffering that would have been inflected upon humanity had they developed their own.

Who's even discussing the four freedoms today, even in the context of events like this, much less argue and agree or disagree about it? The entire point of my 'essay' was to remind everyone that those very relevant messages were deliberately deemphasized and drowned out. Arguing 'both sides were at fault' will only prolong our misery forever.
