So the CEO is a raging alt-righter. Glad I never used his product then.
So, not trying to sympathize with Eich here, where do you get "alt-right" from?
Being against equal rights for gay/bi people is considered pretty right wing these days mate
Sure, but "alt-right" means something specific, and I was missing the jump of reason ... but this thread has gotten pretty heated, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised people were weirdly upset by what I thought was an innocent question.
Oh well, it's the internet, after all.
Alt right is pretty undefined imo.
It was started by a right winger who didn't want to be called far-right so he just called himself "alternative-right". It caught on but his views were still the same right wing views.
I guess people often use it to mean the more internet-savvy, meme-posting, trolling right wing. But they too dunk on LGBT people so even then I'm not sure why anybod would think it's not connected.
Fair enough, political definitions are rarely well-defined.

Yeah, that's how I understood it... Not really something Eich seems to do much.
I'm not sure why anybod would think it's not connected.
Just because Eich has awful views doesn't give license to also be awful by throwing around random other accusations or connecting him with trolling skinheads. Remember, even the Nuremberg Trials had defense attorneys, so let's stick to the high road of justice, not the shitty cesspool that the far right wants to drag us into.
Dude sincerely go to hell, you are cataloging people that are not in your political side as an alt-righter.
Lmao
Yeah I'm the bad one because I have no time for homophobic cunts who want to strip minority groups' rights away.
We get it, you hate anybody who isn't a straight white guy.
Bye bye, go simp for some far right twat to somebody else.
I wasnt talking specifically about Eich. I am talkng broadly but yeah you can sincerely go to hell. You are saying alt-right to anyone that isnt in far left as you are, even centrist and other types of left people. You are a fanatic and fundamentalist. Not all gay people is from LGBT lobby. That is a political movement. As like not all women are feminist. Stop confusing the political movement with the real people.
Hell doesn't exist you dipshit nazi. Fuck off and cry about gay people elsewhere.
Sure whatever you say woke piece of shit
Not wanting gay people to have fewer rights or be exterminated is woke? Ok nazi.
When did I told that? Fanatic lobbyist real people is not a political party
This post isn't about you, it's about Brendan Eich. Someone who donates money to causes that would see rights stripped away from LGBT people. And who also donated money to a politician who said he wants all gay people to die in a plague.
That's the kind of behaviour you're defending. But I get it. LGBT people are the untermensch in your eyes.
I'm all for gay rights and advocate for same sex marriage. But if he doesn't then he's now boxed in with the skinhead kill-all-the-immigrants crowd? Where's the nuance?
That said, I don't really trust Brave the product. It's pushing its privacy agenda a little too hard for me to trust it.
Just use Firefox if you want privacy
Where was the nuance in Proposition 8?
This is the first I've heard of that proposition so I have no idea. Nor do I know the guy's feelings on it other than he felt motivated to donate to it
If you're not familiar with Prop 8 then you can't understand why people judge its supporters, like Eich, as harshly as we do.

The nuance is that straight white people get away with this shit. Sleep with dogs wake up with fleas. Also you just did a "im all for gay rights..., but..." Lmao.
Also you just did a "im all for gay rights..., but..."
I did realise I had the classic =/
If someone is using their money and influence to actively trample on my human rights, then yes, I reserve the right to call them out for being a cunt.
Aw diddums, but what if I hurt the homophobes wittle feelings 🥺??? I don't give a fuck about his precious little fee fees. I care about the rights of people.
And no, calling out a bigot for being bigoted is not the issue with politics. The issue with politics is the bigoted shitheads who view themselves as deserving more rights than the "undesirables" in society.
So you're telling me I should throw my money and data at a guy that doesn't believe in my human rights?

And this is what's wrong with politics now
