I would say most of the customers of Framework are the kinds of people who espouse the kind of antifascist ideology that that guy that started the thread does.
I don’t think that the fascist sympathizer circle and the “willing to pay more money for an ethical laptop that isn’t beholden to a big corporation for repair” circles have much overlap.
This is easy, “Framework doesn’t support fascism or racism in any form. We support open source software and right to repair. Due to concerns with ideology in some of the projects we sponsor we are reviewing the projects we sponsor to make sure that they align with our values as a company.”
The fact that they aren’t willing to say so says plenty.
I hate to hear that and it shows how insidious propaganda can be. On the brighter side, I have actually been seeing the opposite happen with a few people I know. I’m jn a deep red area and, mostly because of the Epstein files and how hard farmers as being jerked around, I have seen some people finally stop, think critically, and reassess their views.
