    I know the Linux side is supposed to be represented by the character on the right.

    But can we recognise the other party becomes that character once they have to defend/explain why they’re sticking to big tech?

      They just ignore you or say “who cares?”. An average person doesn’t have the critical thinking skills an ideological/sceptical person does. They don’t want to know about alternatives to the things they use, because that would require energy, which we reflexively try to save for fictional danger, which never takes place.
