His political actions. Views are just beliefs.
Mozilla is a private organization where Brendan Eich served at the pleasure of its body. What if he was pushing to rescind suffrage for women or to re-instate Jim Crow? Pushing for the legalization of child cannibalism by funding legislative efforts in that direction?
- pretendscholar 9y agoWhat if a woman pushed for the disenfranchisement of men believing that society would be better for it? I'd at least like to hear her out, maybe I'd even support it but I can't know if I can't even hear the view. I have no problem personally with hearing political views because I believe that over time and through discourse human society converges on better outcomes. Someone could state that they would like the return of Jim Crow but I'm confident that the people who hold those views in the long run will be outnumbered.
- refurb 9y agoSo if a company decided to fire someone because they supported legalization of hard drugs (another controversial topic), including giving money to political organizations, you'd fully support them? Or it crystal clear that legalization of hard drugs is one of those ideas that is so obviously right than any opposition to it should be squelched?
