Re: 160.

I don't see how it's any different. Judging someone negatively and refusing to buy from them/support their business based on something they cannot change (skin color, sex, age, sexual orientation) or something they should never be made to feel like they should change (religious beliefs, political beliefs) are both completely vile ways of thinking, as far as I'm concerned.

I see what you're saying, I really do. But I think that comparing someone who doesn't want to support a business based on political beliefs (conservative OR liberal) to someone who is racially bigoted or religiously intolerant is really disingenuous.

I feel like the way this is phrased, it could be taken several different ways. For instance, the knee-jerk "oh god, you're conservative, I am not touching you ick" response is, in my opinion, vile. A lot of what's been popping up on F!S lately has struck me as incredibly narrow-minded and very childish. Knowing someone's vague political leanings and saying "ew, no" without bothering to know what exactly they believe and support is prejudice.

However, refusing to financially support a business whose income may be/is being used to support a political platform that you view as damaging to, for instance, your social rights, is, in my opinion, fair. For instance, I try not to financially support companies that have actively donated to anti-gay campaigns/issues. Similarly, I try to avoid companies who treat animals unethically, or are unconcerned when it comes to environmental preservation. I think it is fair and reasonable to decide to not give money to a company who is going to sponsor something you believe is ethically wrong.

I'm not sure how the OP meant their secret, so I'm in no way defending them. That said, I feel like there is a world of difference between refusing to support a company you deem unethical after careful research, and between having a knee-jerk response to hating a company after only knowing the barest indication of what they believe. Your comment could possibly encompass both views.

Well said. I support Dreamwidth despite being so far to the left that I'm falling off the edge of the galaxy, because (surprise!) that doesn't mean I don't have some views in common with some conservatives. In this case, freedom of speech and freedom of association are important to them and to me. If they started campaigning against universal healthcare, for example, I'd reconsider.
