I have to admit, I got a quarter of the way into your article, and couldn't bring myself to keep reading. I get where you have misunderstood Open Source, but it's clear from your first few sections that your understanding of the Open Source philosophy and its roots is far narrower than you realize. (You've also clearly confused the altogether separate camps of Open Source and Free Software.) As a result, I can't take anything else in here seriously.
No insult intended to your person or intelligence. I simply recommend digging a lot deeper into the histories involved, as it would seem you've wholly missed or misunderstood the bulk of it.
You’re right, like you sir (and the time lord above you), I believe that anything I disagree with is biased and I am under no intellectual obligation to provide evidence of this fact because I am very smart and they are misinformed at best.
It’s like Dunning and Kruger are having a messed up kind of party in this thread.
There's no point in my rehashing the entire history and all the writings on the topic from the last 40 years, nor would it be a prudent use of my time to attempt it. If one wants to understand this, the writings of Eric S. Raymond are a good place to start.

Oh yes, the illustrious work of yet another bigot in OSS. This is the exact problem, you and yours are more than willing to set yourself up as some authority on an issue while gatekeeping dissent, and yet you’re either obtuse enough to not bother checking toxic sources or you lack historical context for the issues and don’t even know why your opinions suck (if you’re arguing in good faith at all).
The problem is mate, I don’t believe that you have the ability to explain this issue competently, but I do wish I had the confidence of a man who will attempt to shut people down with abandon and absolutely refuse to refute their points beyond your own vague notions.

"the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: 'theres actually zero difference between good & bad things.'"
Same here, he clearly has some misconceptions and biases not grounded in facts.

I like you. You’re hired.
