I can't see myself supporting or working for a CEO that thinks it's okay to donate to Propositions that support this level of imposition on other peoples'lives. I guess the board of Firefox agreed.

- Chris2048 10y agoWould someone who supported the Iraq war be similarly ostracised? Guam? Israel? Or maybe Palestine? I have pretty strong views on privacy, maybe some tech CEOs that supported prism-like initiatives should also be ousted? This issue is pure liberal, SJW-ist influence, no consistency behaviour exists in the rest of the political spectrum.
- pj_mukh 10y agoRed herring. Has that happened yet? Can we talk about it when it does? Making the bullying of homosexuals (esp in the workplace) "not cool" is one of the proudest achievements of the "SJW's" you so derisively mention. The message is pretty consistent. Don't punch down. P.S: "maybe some tech CEOs that supported prism-like initiatives should also be ousted", I would love it if that happens, unfortunately, supporting prism-like initiatives might make them more money. Board's voting against making money doesn't make sense. Maybe if we could create strong a loud dis-incentive against this, the board would react as we expect but then again Glenn Beck doesn't like this kind of corporate shaming.
- Chris2048 10y ago> Making the bullying of homosexuals (esp in the workplace) "not cool" We're not talking about that. We're talking about losing your job for (being found to) support[ing] prop 8. > The message is pretty consistent. Don't punch down. Unless you live in Palestine? No liberal ousting of pro-Israel CEOs. Of course, the reason might be is that the issue is a complex one, there are many reasons to be pro-Israel other than wishing ill of Palestine/Palestinians. Why is that nuance not exist here? "Support prop 8? Must be homephobe then!". If it's political, it should not be treated in this way. Any more than I should harass you for your political beliefs. SJWs belief their pet topics are different, special; That they get to behave in a different manner. I disagree.
- pj_mukh 10y agoI'd love to hear a reason for supporting Prop 8 that doesn't explicitly degrade homosexual relationships. I can't think of any and I would be uncomfortable working around Prop 8 supporters (esp if I was gay). What is this nuance you speak of? Why must all issues be treated the same? Some issues are more complex than others.
- Chris2048 10y agoIf I were uncomfortable with a co-workers religion, should they be fired? I can't see this as any more than allowing punishment for having certain political beliefs... > Why must all issues be treated the same? Some issues are more complex than others. These issues are complex, they are just oversimplified to binary "with or against", "good or bad" by activists.
- pj_mukh 10y agoThis is specifically not about religion or some kind of hatred for war-hawks. Both of which are choices and therefore more complex. You are still skirting the issue. Why would someone support Prop 8 without trying to enforce some level of heteronormativity on the people around them? Until, I see any way for someone to care about who else can or cannot get married without being bigoted, this issue remains pretty binary. Deal with everything on a case-by-case basis, is my point.
- Chris2048 10y ago> Why would someone support Prop 8 without trying to enforce some level of heteronormativity This is an appeal to ignorance. Quite simply, you don't know.
