Six days ago, upgradeable laptop maker Framework tried to convince its fractious user community to live in a "big tent" after a Debian developer objected to the company's sponsorship of Hyprland and its social media promotion of Omarchy, with both projects associated with politically polarizing viewpoints.

Antoine Beaupré, aka anarcat, demanded that Framework clarify its political position with regard to these two projects.

Hyprland, a Wayland compositor, is led by a "toxic and hateful community," Beaupré observed, and Omarchy, a Linux distribution, comes from David Heinemeier Hansson (aka DHH), a controversial figure in the Ruby and Linux communities.

In the current political environment, it's profitable to have right-wing extremists alignments and they're aren't sigh, or even happy to be part of it.

If the sales fall, there would have been or will be a "southpark-sorry.gif"

Funny how that just keeps on happening?! Why can't we have left-wing extremism ever be profitable 😤

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 week ago

Because left wing extremism is anti-capitalist.

Because if you're out there grifting people for monetary gain, you're not really a leftist.

Left-wing podcasts churn huge amounts of money, Chapo Trapo House, Cool Zone Media etc... Individuals like Ibrahim X Kendi and the BLM project grafted away millions of dollars to buy mansions and luxury office space with do-nothing employees.

Left-wing has no issue making money. Rubes come in all political affiliations.
