Doubtful, he has a history of ableism that his base revels in.

I thought of the Futurama episode Godfellas myself.

Yes it's part of an inevitability framework.

It's more of a political pamphlet since this is a Cato Institute publication.

>Since this was a position also held by the majority of California voters, or, to reuse my example above, Barack Obama, I find it hard to give much credence to the idea of it being an example of "abhorrent bigotry".

Well neither qualifier requires a consensus view, so there's no correlation here.

I don't disagree that it's a pretty sharp left turn for this (kind of muddled in general) blog post; I was pretty narrowly focused on the ahistorical notion that Eich had recanted in the intervening years.

That being said, I find it odd that you think no one can sincerely hold the position that someone's bigotry was/is abhorrent, however mainstream it was when they were putting money behind it (which is about as direct a piece of evidence that you can get).

None of the three authors you are citing here knew him personally, either, and none of them seem to be particularly 'aghast'.

>You can say that you like his work without having to have endless caveats about how you don't agree with a political position he took twenty years ago that *even he no longer believes*.

BAPS denies that they made any such request (let alone a _demand_); seems weird that DW omits any mention of this.

>if you want a silly pic with ur kids, just pay someone on fiver. it will be only slightly more expensive and likely far more exciting for kids as they have to wait for the dopamine hit.

Or, y'know, learn how to draw, or accept that it's not exactly going to be Chuck Jones caliber stuff.

I suspect they're a bot, fwiw.

And if the terrorist group that provides the impetus for the sanction is practically nonexistent, it's entirely sensical?

>They are making and providing tools that enable communication specifically for Far Left groups, some of which are terrorist groups.

As per a government who puts cycling and expressing distaste for inflation in the same camp.
