It's possible to be upset with both Framework and the other companies you mentioned. It's not binary, either/or. I have issues with all of them for similar reasons.
All the Framework CEO had to do was say "oops, we screwed up, we can be better, we don't want to associate with plainly evil people". But he didn't do that, he went out of his way to affirm that those evil people are welcome in Framework's tent (his words, not mine) right next to the people those fascists constantly talk about wanting to murder and oppress. I don't think it gets any plainer than that, and it's not a purity test. It's not wanting to give money to a company who will then proudly and openly give it to monsters, with a big fucking smile on their face as they do so.
When you say you won't buy a computer "from fascists", you're saying that you're going to buy computers elsewhere. And almost everywhere else is 1000x worse. So yes, it absolutely is either/or. Unless you're going to hide in a cabin in the woods.
There are ethical alternatives. System76, Nova Custom, even used PCs from reputable refurbishers.
Go ahead and support fascism if you want but don’t lambast me for choosing not to.
