> thinks I shouldn't be allowed to exist any evidence to support that claim?

This must be in regards to his donating $1,000 to Proposition 8, which sought to ban same-sex marriage in California [0]. This was the genesis event that led to his resignation from Mozilla back in 2014. I'm unclear if his views have changed either positively or negatively in the intervening decade.

  so, he was forced out of mozilla for his private constitutionally protected political activity. how exactly is that evidence that he believes "people don't have a right to exist?" it seems like some people think people with his beliefs don't have a right to exist. maybe they are just projecting the hate in their own hearts onto their enemies/victims?

    Now you’re reacting to hyperbole with more hyperbole. It’s more like OP just wants to use rhetoric to have you ignore and silence Brendan Eich. Which I still think is going too far, even if I disagree with his (apparent) private political views.

    It's actually not protected. In fact, only very few states even have laws that protect political activity from being used for workplace terminations. And even states like NY and California make a vague exception for "political activity that interferes with the functioning of the business." https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/21/your-money/speaking-about-politics-can-cost-you-your-job.html?unlocked_article_code=zFVYdnHbi-Cqne6j6wIawW2dG8RILortCk31JK0nXs_PhpxYGB2ObmbuCQqKr61XAMxGq8W3lqA5Jq3boCCesAKaavgWAe3MKaDcQfkORQYDM1cMuKijAP_hT4DPO_RAu-Okw2PRxZoCnw37nXfyWEpja-Ah7f6UH42xtXpULH0dnkoYDhrGfV1NgQcqEbJnfVvyFrw6HTReNTcuS7z_xL1baQkSxcfP5tB9OjvJcn9YCFBeUD1W8FhF_ASlFMcMMgZKyL9QdoZfD3wLz8J0gd-QMdiYaVz3qvpdn_DSMotfq8k0XdyqH7ozhTKc_uZLsNFIQ72lhDoeLVoDGyCLhvD0iVYR1F9Eci6VLNK6KtBkbqg7P0IzuY_S&smid=url-share https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/21/your-money/speaking-about... The only ones constitutionally protected are government employees since the government cannot fire someone for 1st amendment speech (but companies can because the 1st amendment does not apply to private entities)
