It is an overly broad definition.

Well that is up to other people. It doesn't make the company inherently political.

This logic as previously stated is a horrible mind worm that infests everything and ruins a great many things that are just useful (razor blades) or fun (video games).

Politics is a set of power games done by people we call politicians and promoted by their activists. It has nothing to do with right and wrong.

This is nonsense. This is the same warped view of the world along the lines of "the person is political" and is a thought worm that has to be binned.

I don't buy bog roll as a political decision, I buy it so I can wipe my arse.

Generally I agree however

> Companies are inherently political

I am fed up of everything be political. I know someone is going to make Doom Eternal political somehow when the game is about a man that is too angry to die taking on the legions of the hell dimension (that is literally the plot of the game).

Gilette have tried making how I remove hair from my face political.

I want companies to sell their product and as long are people are using it legally they should probably not take a political stance.

> And it will come back much worse, and you won't know how to recognize it or fight it.

Yep.

> Liberals like to make off-color jokes too, they're just in denial about it.

The logic is "it is okay when we do it".

With extremists that grew up in the west, possibly. I did work with some Somali guys (they weren't extremists) but a few of them said they didn't feel British and they didn't feel Somalian. So there is a schism there, I've felt the same schism as someone that is essentially a nomad these days I don't belong anywhere.

Extremists that grow up in the Middle-East. No idea I haven't spent a lot of time in the Middle-East (only Israel).

The "bad guys" just went somewhere else. This doesn't fix the problem it just pushed the problem away from reddit.

> And it's up to us to pressure these private businesses to do that.

No it isn't. I am fed up of something I like being ruined by moral busy bodies such as yourself. My friend and I like the "edgy" jokes because we work in environments where you have to be political correct and I need to let off some steam.

8chan isn't the problem. The problem is that large portions of the population aren't engaged in society at large. The is a huge problem with loneliness, suicide and general lack of meaning to life.

Censorship and harassing companies that run image board won't fix the problem. All you will do it hide it.

Well the you in YouTube is becoming redundant yes. But a lot of people like me go there because I can't stand a lot of mainstream content.

Sure there is a lot of crap on there but there are some real gems on YouTube.

A few scenarios I can think of are:

1) If it doesn't work or works poorly.

2) If it is trivial to implement.

3) Licensing problems.

4) If the implementation is overly complicated.

5) The (framework) vendor have a habit of updating and breaking your code. This happens a lot with the Angular team. There is nothing like the annoyance of an Angular update and they have broken some feature you are using and you have to update code that was working absolutely fine. Since then I have avoided Angular entirely.

Things I am less strict on:

1) The project is EOL. It may work perfectly fine. This happens to open-source software as well. Typically this means there is a better alternative out there.

2) Awkward syntax / api. You can normally just wrap this.

3) Maintainers are difficult to work with or don't fix bugs.
