I don't care about ICE one way or another, but calling people "monkeys" and "losers" because they're not building a product to your exact specifications is extremely childish.

It seems to me that the real "losers" are the ones spending so much time bitching and moaning about a software platform they don't like.

They aren't "bitching and moaning" they are moving communities and platforms. GitHub is user hostile run by a company with a pattern for that. Alternatives to GitHub exist and supporting them is not "bitching and moaning", it's building and creating. The fact you can't or won't recognize that is telling.

Which is itself a political position, a privileged one at that

[throwawaypath]

The oppositie is also true. "Caring" about ICE and wanting to flood the US with illegal immigrants is also a political position, a privileged one at that. It's a luxury belief: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_belief

What an incredibly arrogant statement. Not everyone is American for starters.

[mcdonje]

Not being an American is a privileged position regarding an issue that negatively affects Americans. It's no different than if I, an American, fail to care about, say, Hungary's slide into autocracy. I am privileged to be able to not care about it.

[OrangeMusic]

By that definition, "privileged" looses all meaning, as there is an infinite number of injustices in the universe, and no one is affected by all of them.

[mcdonje]

It doesn't lose all meaning and your argument doesn't support your assertion.

[barnabee]

It’s still a political position to take to not care about things that happen in other countries. (I’m not American either, not that it should matter.)

They are doing more than that.
