You would be a fool to hire this guy after this stunt.

It's also pretty short-sighted because ICE does some uncontroversial things (border crossings, customs), and a lot of the flak they've been getting is from actions pushed down to the from the administration. Now, they're also not known for being defenders for human--or even constitutional--rights. It seems more effective to donate $2,800 to pick-a-democrat. Or Mark Sanford.

  While border crossings and customs are themselves not controversial for merely existing, how they are administered is definitely a source of controversy.

What stunt? He removed an open source library from his own personal account because he felt the nazis shouldn't be using his software. It's kinda like when IBM sold the nazis hardware to keep track of the Jews.

  If you honestly believe that ICE are Nazi's what are you doing posting here? The second amendment is a thing. Why are you not fighting Nazi's?

    Violent protests are not the way to fix things... pulling support from them is...

      If ICE are literally Nazi's and immigration deletion centers are literally concentration camps, then why not? After all that would mean that they are effectively the embodiment of evil. You would be a hero. If you actually genuinely believe that then I can't see why you wouldn't. Unless deep down you're self aware that you're using such rhetoric not because it is valid but because you think it supports your political cause while hurting politically those who you disagree with.

        Perhaps under an alternative definition of the term "concentration camp" which would also include prisons and jails. Whether or not you believe the law is just the people being detained have committed the crime of illegal entry, and they are being detained because of this crime. The mainstream definition of concentration camp is one where people are interned on the basis of a national, ethnic, or religious identity [1]. The term came to prominence during the Boer War [2] where Afrikaners were imprisoned on the basis of their ethnicity, not for any particular crime. Detaining people illegally crossing a border is not a concentration camp under the commonly accepted definition. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_concentration_camps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_concentration_camps

        Except they aren't. No group is being concentrated for being members of religious, political, or ethnic groups. The people in ICE detention facilities are there having been arrested for crossing the border illegally and awaiting a hearing in which a judge reviews their case usually to determine if their refuge claims are valid. By your standard jails and prisons would be concentration camps, which is also ludicrous. If you want talk about concentration camps then I would direct to the crimes being committed against Uyghur's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGYoeJ5U7cQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGYoeJ5U7cQ

  It’s also worth noting that the same result would have happened if I’d died. My will requests the immediate deletion of “all Internet accounts”. Such an action (deleting my GitHub account) would have had a very similar result.

  Detaining and deporting people illegally crossing a border is far, far from comparable to the deliberate extermination an religious minority. There are good objections to make regarding treatment of migrants at the border, but this kind of extreme hyperbole seriously cuts away at the credibility of those arguments.

You would be a fool to rely open-source software with no local copies.

You would be a fool to buy things from Chef after they show such a trivial vulnerability.
