    I still feel that if they are doing a good job and not harrassing people at work, they deserve the money. The way you put it makes me feel like I am talking about funding the third reich.

    Even if they are chanelling all the funds into an active genocidal army, I stand to argue the problem is not with me paying the developer. There are definitely nuances we can get into, like the ‘enabler’ character from the 12 steps lore. I am very much not dying on this hill, I might be wrong.

    I see the thin line I am dancing on in this argument. Having bigot opinions go unchallenged on large platforms leads to problems.

    I wouldn’t want to work with someone who can barely wait to kill me and take over the company because of something I was born with as soon he gets the green light from society. But is this what we are talking about?

    We can’t let the hate take over, but I don’t see the solution in cutting off blood circulation to an uncooperating limb. One can argue that nazism is a gangrenous infection, but I personally think it’s a symptom of great discontent and a narrow perspective. Maybe I’m just slow to draw the same conclusions everyone else has from the paradox of tolerance.
