If you can't see why one would boycott a company with a loud and proudly bigoted founder, i don't know what the fuck to tell you other than you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

I can't see why we should boycott when the product isn't bigoted and the company doesn't do bigoted things.

Highlighting a particular employee or position is not logical.

If the CFO was bigoted would you boycott?

If the country manager was bigoted would you boycott?

...

If the intern was bigoted would you boycott?

Under your moral code ANY company employing at least one bigot should be boycotted. This leads to almost all companies being boycotted.

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth.

I'd also prefer companies have strict policies against that sort of thing, and if I found out a company was fostering a workplace where that awful view is acceptable, I would boycott them as well.

The founder generally receives the biggest piece of the pie. That's obviously a more significant thing. Frankly, I think you know this and are simply arguing in bad faith.

And get out of here with your purity test bullshit. Yeah, I personally go to some pretty extreme lengths to boycott companies. But that's nowhere near as important as the general spirit of being against bigotry and opposing it, violently if necessary, anywhere you see it.

It seems they do https://brave.com/careers/

So poor bigots are fine. Got it.

Brave is FOSS. Nothing needs to go to Eich.

the general spirit of being against bigotry and opposing it,

Agreed. But neither the Brave company nor the software is bigoted.

violently if necessary, anywhere you see it.

I would not advocate for attacking free speech (political donations) with violence.

Im sorry that you're so tolerant of bigotry. I can't help you

I'm clearly against bigotry.

I don't see how that position is related to using a particular web browser.
