Sure in other threads on the post but nobody is down here anymore. We're all alone in this nested comment hell.

I'm going to downvote you but only because you didn't even glance at the article.

The pictured approach is clearly one in which the safety markings remain visible and contrast sufficiently with the bright rainbow colors.

Something someone did in Iceland isn't relevant. Maybe in their culture it's considered polite to mow down pedestrians, there's no way to know.

If that's the takeaway you want rather than "standard business practice is to vet organizations you support to make sure your goals are aligned"...uh...good for you?

If you tell me "I will use some of any money you give me to fund terrorism" and I choose to give you money anyway, I am deliberately funding terrorism.

Framework is deliberately funding white nationalists. They may not have been before yesterday, but now they've been told and now they've been told that's what they're doing.

It's spelled TACO cause it's an initialism

Tbh I'm not sure what you're saying here. Person said they had to scroll down 5 results to get to the asshole being an asshole and seemed to think that was proof it's hard to research (hence my "five whole links") and then you seemed to be saying that since it's "hard to find" and the business isn't slapping a nazi flag front and center on their website means it's fine to use their stuff. If that's not what you meant, great. But you said the same thing again, so I'm pretty sure you meant it.

I dunno I've watched enough of the maga people talk to be pretty confident they just hate the world.

The "this guy will shake things up" argument would make sense if he hadn't already been our single most corrupt president in a generation (until 47)

Yeah I figured it out from another message: intent matters. Framework appears to intend to support bad people. Tankies support bad causes but appear to think they are good. That moves the question to "what is good". Obviously white nationalists have a definition of good that I don't agree with but they think they are doing good or at least claim as such. However I think I generally agree with tankies, broadly, on their definition of good. I just think they are self deluded into believing that the world simply isn't as simple and awful as it appears to be. That having been said, my reference point for tankies is a few memes, so it may be that there's depths of evil there that I'm not aware of. However what I've seen is that they seem to be pro workers rights, anti capitalist power, etc...all of which I broadly agree with.

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.

Dignity in front of who? It's just us two here bud. There's nobody to even lose to.

What a bizarre take on my message. Re-read what I wrote, and then read what you wrote, and maybe revise some of your assumptions about what I wrote.
