    Isn’t that actually canon though? Cause the first book says the answer to the life, universe, and everything is 42, but then what is the question? And I think in the second book they answer that the question is 6x7

    Edit: I was wrong, its actually 6x9. Which means Litterbox Comics only read the first book and is a poser and a fake fan. Probably only watched the movie sigh /s

    In my defense of failing to remember the correct question, it has been awhile since I read the books.

    I’m gonna approach this with good faith because I am assuming you are trying to. No on is immune to propoganda, you are not immune to propoganda and neither am I. Pretending political extremes are inherently and equally bad is in of itself is propoganda. Politics is an important aspect of life, it impacts a lot of people in serious ways. Invalidating that because someone is emotional about it is kinda fucked up. Like yeah a queer person is going to be emotional about politics because their identity is under attack due to politics. Many aspects of life are political, things that people are often times passionate about or otherwise deeply impact them.

    Secondly leftist, like myself, believe what we believe because the current status quo is unfair and hurting people. We are striving to make the world a more free and fair place. So yeah, when someone says they are a centrist (which effectively means supporting the status quo), then that is to us opposing progress to a more free and fair society. To us it is saying that the people harmed by the status quo are either not real, don’t matter, or that that harm is a good thing.

    I aint gonna say every leftist is built the same. There are a lot with very harmful beliefs. But you are lumping everyone together cause you feel their politics are too extreme and erasing all the nuance. And also lumping us in with groups that we hate and have completely different goals, morals, etc. Fascists and communists are not the same just because they are both extreme. Do some communists really blur that line? Yeah, they are called tankies and I fucking hate them.

    This is all to say, shitting on people for simply having extreme politics is erasing a lot of nuance and in of itself is propoganda to help support the status quo.

    Edit: nvm dude’s a nazi chud pretending to be a centrist. Fucking coward


  • Nah, if my support of them results in that money going to fascists, I don’t care how much good they do. I am not going to support them. Expecting the people you work with and support to uphold certain basic values is not a huge expectation. The people they are supporting actively advocate and support racist and fascistic conspiracies. It is not that much to ask that Framework avoid them and support other open source developers. Its insane to not even have that level of standards. There are loads of open source developers, and people are just asking them to avoid the ones openly being racist.

    If you don’t think boycotting them till they renounce that support is reasonable, then I don’t think we have any common ground to work with.

    If Framework would drop support, I’ll gladly get onw of their computers and support them. Till then, I ain’t touching them and will stick with my current computer
