  The fact is that a lot of people have always been racist assholes, but now they feel they can say it in public without repercussion.

    TBF a lot of people are just utterly stupid and just eat and regurgitate party lines and the American/Western lines in the past two decades have been heavy on the “white nationalist”, racist and hateful stuff. Since they never believed in anything in earnest, they will fall for everything including this “feel good” drug for white folks we call white supremacy. 🤷

      There’s also a psychological trap. It doesn’t make falling for it acceptable, but it does make it more understandable.

      Humans naturally seek belonging, and almost any group can fulfill that need. Many such groups also use “us vs. them” rhetoric, which can make you feel more special than you actually are. Feeling special is another human need that groups often fulfill. Humans crave direction and purpose, and most groups provide both.

    I think there’s also an issue that many people got radicalized through internet rabbitholes and the like in recent years. I assume you need to already have some compatible views, but there’s a big difference between “a bit racist” and “full on nazi”. It’s a matter of which tendencies get reinforced and what biased information you’re being fed.

  Don’t be so hasty in believing a single source which is written as a hateful rant without linking to sources or directly citing what was said (written). Here is the discussion in the framework forums: https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986

  I’m not surprised they all have nazi view but I’m surprised to see they can’t hide it to avoid alienating customers.

    So where exactly does Framework say something fascist?

      If you invite nazis to your table, guess what you are?
