    Futo’s CEO being a alt right piece of shit is a better reason.

    I didn’t down vote ya but, I am quite certain that if we knew all the little idiosyncrasies, personal core values, or private lives of both open source and closed source software devs, teams, sponsors, equipment manufacturers, components, et al, we’d probably never turn on our computers. I mean, I get it, you are free to make choices. I wouldn’t have it any other way. However, until the dev teams start writing that into their software, I’m ok with them being an alt right piece of shit. It’s kind of like, I enjoy Ted Nugent’s music. It comes up in my playlist every so often. I can’t stand his political stance, but I am able to separate the two without condoning his political core beliefs. Gosh, if I were to listen to only those artists that align with my core beliefs, it’d be a mighty slim playlist. ymmv

      Its always amazing how people defend platforming, at best, a white supremacist.

      Also, that’s fair from the only complaint in that post with receipts.

      Just look at other comment chains replied to you.

        defend

        No, I am not defending anyone or anything.

        It is the easiest thing to give freedom and equality to those we like. It’s much, much harder to give freedom and equality to those we don’t like.

          Yes you are defending it, by saying it’s okay.

          You should look up the tolerance paradox.

          Tl;Dr the ONE thing a tolerant society must be intolerant of is intolerance itself.

          I don’t care about your opinions on a lot of things. But intolerance of people for inherit traits is the one thing I don’t stand for.

            Nope. Does he not have the right to be an alt-right piece of shit? I’m not sure what country you are a citizen of, but in my country, you most certainly have the right to be an alt-right piece of shit. Oh, and yes I’m very familiar with the tolerance paradox.

              Is your country also having a fascist problem?

              Because those two things seems to be correlated.

              Where I’m from hate speech is (rightly) a crime. Because calling for the death (of let’s make an example of my trans siblings) of a people is still violence.

                Ok this has been carried far too long, so I’ll digress the conversation. I do wish that one day very soon, being LGBTQ+ will br as boring as being hetero.
