When I read stories like this, I always think about what society was like in Germany in the mid to late 30s, as authoritarian forces and ideas began to spread like a cancer. I always come away from those thoughts understanding the frailness of humans and their reluctance to accept “humanity” as a core principle of everyday life. Now I get to see it real-time. It never ends well.

I think, too, about the employees of Bayer back then and other industries of the day for whom pursuit of "business" was seen as the overriding driver of all else, and for whom political thought and expression was probably also seen as a distraction from the tasks they were being paid to focus on. Double-think reigns supreme.

I think those guys were also dedicated racists. I met lots of racists in college in the US.
I think lots of the employees at Cisco who support this would genuinely join Klan rallies if they could.
They're genuinely racist. They're genuine supremacists.
Yes I think so too
