Are you being purposely obtuse, bud?
Let's go to extremes... If actual Hitler worked on a project should we all just use that project even though Hitler made it?
It's called Volkswagen, one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.
Yes and I don't buy them. Do you understand?
If you invoke hitler, you already lost the argument.
If you say so.
Comparing Brendan eichtoo Hitler doesn't seem logically coherent but let's just use your fringe example. We do actually continue to use shit invented by Hitler all over the world to this day. Volkswagen to give an example. Lemmy is made by tankies. So... The answer is that so long as the thing is sufficiently useful. Yes.
I don't use VW or brave. That's my point. It's easy to wave away suffering if you benefit from that suffering.
You use thousands of products. A majority of them probably have some heinous shit behind their executives.
You're absolutely right, but I try to make my contributions to suffering as low as I can.
The choice might not always be obvious. What if the project improves the society or saves human lives? In such case we might decide it's better to support the project, but make it clear that we don't support his other activities.
It doesn't though.
