Do we want hammers to be restricted to only those whose political ideologies align with ours? Yeah, why not? If you're a hammer manufacturer, then you should absolutely concern yourself with whether or not you're dealing business with ethical consumers. I think if you commit yourself to your ideal, you're either going to end up being complicit in some really nasty stuff, or end up drawing a very arbitrary "line" where you stop being apolitical.

What if their idea of ethics doesn't align with your idea of ethics? What if all left/right wing people are banned from using a tool? Or some other arbitrary internal measure of ethics? You're only willing to follow along with this line of thinking whilst it aligns with your interpretation of ethics. > [..] you're either going to end up being complicit in some > really nasty stuff, or end up drawing a very arbitrary > "line" where you stop being apolitical. Being neutral doesn't make you complicit. The moment you take action (for either good or bad purposes), then you become complicit.
