That is a matter of opinion that reasonable people disagree about.

Again, people are inseparable from their ideology. If you don't like hearing about ideology (like I don't like having to see crucifix necklaces), avoid people and you won't have that problem.

There's a difference between an individual, inobtrusive fashion choice, and something being given a unique, global position of importance.

You can't separate people entirely from their ideology, but you can separate them much more than we currently do.

(For that matter, which "person" is the go.dev website, that we cannot separate ideologies from?)

No, seperation is a very reasonable position. Some US-based developers and companies tend to forget that not only their ideology is not fully supported within their own country but more importantly that the rest of the world, even if not vocal about, often disagree. There are a lot of different cultures, values and opinions around the world (you know, the actual diversity) and inevitably one political opinion good for virtue signaling points in the US will rub people elsewhere in the wrong way. Pushing it too hard will also produce opposite result by polarizing people more. Some people/culture won't change anyway (cough cough 800 millions USD for promoting women rights in Afghanistan). So stop your cultural imperialism and let the professional stuff separated from your myopic politics.

This is just a depressing view of people. While it may often be the case, it's not absolute. I just watched a movie last night, and while not a great movie and definitely dramaticized, was based on a true story. Of a (now former) KKK member voting to integrate schools. People are much more complex than I believe you give them credit for.

And that's another issue is that people aren't so one dimensional. For example, many BLM people aren't on the LBGTQ train. Many Trumpers aren't antivaxxers. Many Libertarians aren't anarchists. Point being, there's not a ton you can draw from a crucifix.

As for the movie, CP Ellis is the man's name, if you care to read about him.

Thanks for sharing that story about CP Ellis, it's nice to know people can change.
