You're a huge dumbass who fell for so much propaganda that it's almost impossible to even begin to argue with any of this because there are so many bad faith points and false equivalences here.

Just from your opening statement, I see "communism" as an "extreme viewpoint" (it's not), "sexual sterilization of minors" which is a transphobic dog whistle (no one is sterilizing children), "unchecked mass migration" which is MAGA racist dog-whistle bullshit for "I think only white people should be allowed in rich countries" (no one is opening borders and eschewing immigration law, not even Obama or Biden), "and other objectively destructive" as if your opinion is pure objectivity (delusional) and destructive? Destructive of what, oppressive norms that serve only to entrench power structures while removing freedoms from people who would just like to live their lives?

"The bottom line is, whatever projects you’re involved with could just as easily become the target of this same kind of purity test that you’re all trying to enforce." - yeah, if they start publishing Nazi-inspired blog posts dehumanizing people and praising authoritarian repressive figures, start raising tons of capital with the hopes of cashing in on their creation: Why the fuck WOULD we support making those assholes rich? It's not about the software dumbass, it's about not funding toxic and oppressive figures.

Unchecked mass migration is a problem - these people need work, education, shelter and a lot more to integrate. If a country doesnt have enough ressources to provide this you will get large clusters of people living in a parallel society, not able to speak the language of the hosting country, no chance to have a good job, lots of hate on both sides and the rise of racism and fascism.

"unchecked mass migration"

I have actually seen a few lemmy comments implying that anybody should be able to walk into countries like the US or Spain and become citizens.

if the US can enter the middle east at their own will and bomb the civilians there then yes those same people should be allowed to enter the US for free. You want powers but not the consequences?

You're conflating military with civilian.

Besides, when people talk about legalizing illegal immigrants in the US, it's usually not about middle easterns.
