I really don't understand how can people associate a tool with an ideology.
Do we stop manufacturing cars because it helps support many unfavorable people/organizations?
- dominicr 7y agoCar manufacturers are not really accurate metaphors as it is CBP and ICE themselves who are carrying out actions that many people strongly disagree with. Whereas a car company has no control over its customers If Ford were separating children from their parents and imprisoning them in warehouses then I'm sure many people would stop buying Fords or doing business with them. There have actually been campaigns against vehicle manufacturers because of who they sell to. I recall that JCB and Land Rover have had campaigns against them as they sell vehicles (mainly armoured) to the armies of countries with questionable human rights records.

I'm somewhat certain your beef is with the idea of that specific organisation being considered bad, not with the reaction to that determination.
