Basic compartmentalization. If i have ideological goals A, B, C, then i can work on goal A with people who are indifferent or against B, C, and also work on goal B with people who are indifferent or against A, C, instead of trying to find people in intersection of A, B, C.
- kaba0 6y agoI doubt people can compartmentalize things that are in vehement disagreement with their core values. Would Stallman work on implementing a DRM? And not in this case, but what about someone denying the other’s existence? Actively supporting groups that work on restricting someone’s basic rights? (Mozilla with Eich)

I can work with non-vegetarians on software, but i would not work in slaughterhouse. > And not in this case, but what about someone denying the other’s existence? As an LGBT person (and pro same-sex marriage), i think that mixing up 'being against same-sex marriage' and 'denying the other’s existence' is just horrible rhetorical device, fear-mongering about opponent's position.
- kaba0 6y agoI don’t see what are you disagreeing with. I only mentioned the Mozilla case, but I was talking about the topic in general. Vehemently disagreeing with something is not working with vegans/non-vegans. Denying the other’s existence in case of trans people is unfortunately quite common. Do you think a Jewish person can work together with a nazi?
