Said troon copies your publicly available code and goes on media blitz claiming you discriminated against him. Your bank Alex Jones's you and your supporters are largely driven off. Said troon is now the effective owner of the project going forward.
So because you can get canceled for wrongthink, then let's blame open source and say that it can't solve anything? I mean in that scenario you could get canceled regardless of what you do. You may as well blame free speech for what happened to Alex Jones.
Ok, I'll agree with you on that, although your original comment seemed to imply a much different argument. If you fear that your property and freedom can be arbitrarily stolen at any moment, then yes, the best thing to do would be to maintain as much privacy and anonymity as possible.
You could technically release your code anonymously too, thus protecting yourself. But if we're assuming that copyrights won't be respected, then your code can still be stolen. On the flip side, consumers are much less likely to trust a program if they can't see how it works, which is pretty important for security. Thus, I would still say it has benefits depending on the situation.
Consumers are, as the continued dominance of Windows shows, completely retarded. Windows functionality has degraded year after year for a decade and they still control the market. I'm no fan of Apple either but then I dislike most cults.

Hardly. Saying that something would work if it wasn't for the leftist infiltrators, is the same as saying it doesn't work.
Because we won't be rid of them until after a continent wide bloodbath.
No. Because you can get cancelled for wrong think, the assumption of theft is close to an inevitability.

I won't deny that. By security I was alluding more to banking software or bitcoin.
