Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists?

• bss03@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I very much care about the view of business owners are; it’s how I decide to where my “vote” goes when I “vote with my wallet” as I’ve frequently told to do my Capitalism supporters.

    Voting with your wallet has nothing to do with politics, but price and service.

      Then why did people freak out over serving gay people?

        Idk, but choosing to not serve people is a good reason to not buy from them, even if you’re not impacted, because they could choose to not serve you or your friends. That said, of the owner doesn’t support gay maffkagy but serves and hires gay people, that’s a different thing entirely.

      Voting is wielding political power, whether it is with your wallet or anything else.

        It doesn’t have to be, and that’s my point.

  Well, I guess he has tried to make his views fairly plain on his blog. it’s just a bit hard to find unless you’re looking for it

    Were the views associated with the company? Or was it purely a personal blog?

    The distinction matters. Many people are a le to separate business from politics, but some are not. The former aren’t a concern, the latter definitely are.

      Your right. I can’t seperate people and politics.

      Because people take the money from business and advocate for the death of me and my trans community.

      I don’t see a reason to operate those two.

        The furthest I’ve seen is advocating for conservative politicians, which is generally for more favorable tax treatment and maybe some more flexibility in what services they need to provide to their employees.

        I don’t think business owners care about the trans community for good or ill. The only reason it seems that conservatives care at all is because liberals are so vocal about it. And liberals aren’t even really pushing for anything to help the trans community, it’s mostly lip service.

        The real enemy isn’t you average conservative voter, but specific politicians pushing a populist agenda, which paints trans people as the enemy. If it wasn’t trans people, it would be gay people, some variety of immigrant, etc, the target is less important to the movement, they just need to be weak and unpopular enough for them to get away with it.

  Wow I guess if you have to scroll all the way to the fifth whole link it can’t possibly be plain, can it?

  Sure the business owner thinks anyone who isn’t white doesn’t count as a person, but he only uses the resources you give him to promote that point of view as a hobby, so why worry?

    I don’t know, was it a personal blog, some social media post, or a page on the company’s website? You didn’t specify, and I honestly don’t care enough to try to replicate your search.

    If they’re able to separate personal views from how they run their company, it shouldn’t really matter what those views are.

      It’s literally in the post you’re responding to. I didn’t do any external research other than read the thread.

        This is the part I’m talking about:

        i do want to point out how hard it is to even find out about the views of these people

        …

        even looking up the name of David Heinemeier Hansson, the more vocally bad of these, i had to go to the 5th link to find anything even vaguely mentioning his views

        You are not the person I originally responded to, how would you know they were referencing the OP? There aren’t even 5 links in the article, and if we count the embedded X posts, the fifth link is about Hyprland. I’m pretty sure that’s not what the OP is referring to.

        The OP’s point is that it’s hard to find info on these people’s views, and the links in the OP are from other people doing that digging. As in, we likely wouldn’t know their views if these bloggers didn’t dig through posts looking for it.

  It only becomes a problem if they make those views plain.

  Even then, who cares tbh.

    People who don’t want to give resources to white nationalists. Why do you support funding white nationalists?

    source

    • FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      You’re not funding white nationalists (if that’s what these people are, I have zero idea who they are), you’re funding the product they’re making.

        If I send you a dollar and you send 50c to white nationalists and then you tell me that and I give you another dollar, now I am funding white nationalists. This isn’t complex. Knowledge+action = result.
