That's a weird way of looking at it...
Did you look at the Wiki page?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogue
They name Adolf Hitler as an example.
And also McCarthy, the guy that created the whole 'Red scare' anti-communism nonsense in the US.
I suppose Donald Trump and Boris Johnson would also fit in that list. People I despise, because of them acting lika a demagogue.
Also, look at the list of methods:
Scapegoating, fearmongering, lying etc etc.
As I said, that's a direct insult to my morality and integrity.
Perhaps the biggest flaw in comparing me to a demagogue is that I don't even have an agenda to begin with. I have no political issues, and I do not seek to convince anyone of a certain view.
I merely provide the facts.
Now, as I said on my blog, the GPL is a political manifest, and the FSF is a political organization (which we already covered with their article on Secure Boot earlier, it is very misleading, and has a clear objective of undermining Secure Boot and steering people away from it). Oh the irony.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to use UEFI or Secure Boot or whatever. I'm just saying that they may have been misled by others, and their views of Secure Boot are not necessarily correct.
But as they say about leading a horse to water...
