Didn’t know where to post this, so hopefully this is the right spot. Please boycott Brave. I’ve recently learned that not only is their CEO bad, but their fanbase is toxic, too. I will no longer be using Brave for that reason.

    You’re moving the goalposts here. We’re talking about using an open source browser or not because of the founder’s personal religious views, not whether they are Hitler or Trump.

    Religious views are personal views. Hating non-Germans or non-Americans are also personal views. What’s your point?

    Yes mob, suggest looking up what it means in this context.

    Merriam Webster says it means “a large and disorderly crowd of people; especially one bent on riotous or destructive action.” When were we destroying or rioting? We don’t have street rallies against the use of Brave either.

    Unless you meant the informal definition, "a large number of people ", which means you’re just trying to demonize the large number of people who dislike a homophobe by using that word. So is any movement to boycott anything a mob? Are vegans a mob? Nestle/BP/Amazon/Facebook haters? What about people campaigning for a ban on fossil fuels? What about the people who were against the Iraq or Vietnam Wars?

    And yes, cancel culture is a really really dangerous development in western civilization that threatens our ability to survive because it’s focus is on distracting from class consciousness. Not sure why you’re defending it if you’re a socialist.

    Because as not just a socialist but a person in the 21st century, I’m very much for human rights being given to people of the LGBTQ+ community?

    I don’t like the guy and therefore won’t use his company’s product, plain and simple. I have not harassed him or otherwise taken any action to harm him. I don’t know of anyone, on or off this platform, who have done that either. I also dislike Musk and therefore Teslas aren’t on my list of cars that I might buy. Am I not allowed to have those opinions because they’re cancel culture?
