It's a computer, not a political crusade.

There will be people of all types and ideologies in the Framework laptop supply chain somewhere. I don't see how this man's political views are at all relevant to the computer you are buying, even if you managed to convince me that he is guilty of thought crime in the first place.

My first Framework is preordered now. I really don't care if a Nazi or a transsexual furry Marxist or anything in between has contributed along the way. I bought a computer from a computer manufacturer.

It is a computer which wields its politics as its raison d'etre.

In this case, what you support is what you buy.

Isn't that repairability, upgradeability and customisation, though? I didn't see anything political while completing my preorder.

It seems to me like certain groups are trying to project their political agenda on to this repairable laptop maker, and then being outraged when the company is more concerned with making repairable laptops than championing their particular views.
