The assumption is that they believe a not-insignificant portion of their customers are fascist or fascist-adjacent.
If everyone upset about this boycotted and tanked their bottom line, they’d probably shift gears in a heartbeat.
But I suspect that the number of fascist/fascist-adjacent customers is high enough that they need both groups’ money to survive.
Well being tolerant with fascists is a no no.
We’re taking about being tolerant with a company that’s tolerant of fascists.
If I’m tolerant of that, would you tolerate me? Where do we draw the line?
Not trolling, but I get that it sounds that way .
You have to tolerate everyone until they are actively intolerant. If you jump the gun on not tolerating someone or something too early, then you’re being intolerant.
We’re talking about fascists, them being intolerant is literally part of their description.
