One small question, what is "CoC?" In my world it's a punk band turned dadrock lol.
That doesn't sound like the biggest deal from what I've heard so far though. I disagree with those views too (well tbh I've never even been in the country and it's not possible for me to "miss the old london" but ykwim haha), but I'm not gonna shoot my framework with an M4 like a case of bud light about it.
If I'm being honest I think the good that they're doing with the HW community right now and their (sometimes misplaced, sure) support for FOSS in general might, in my opinion, outweigh the bad done by them funding these specific projects/people* (*contingent on this being all it is). Like it'd be one thing if say they gave X laptops to ICE to help them out, but hyperland afaik has 10 users and I've never heard of DHH or omarchy or whatever until, ironicallly, this outrage gave it publicity. Hell I only previously knew about hyperland (and still don't actually understand what it is, idk I use KDE) because of people here on linux comms complaining that they're nazis, "no publicity is bad publicity" and such, it might actually be working in their favor.
These niche software devs that can easily be replaced by "using sway instead" pale in comparison imo to "one of the only two sustainable, modular, repairable laptop manufacturers in existence, the other being possibly exclusively German (idk their sales range, site is in German)." One of these is easily ignorable/replaceable, one is not, and I think I care more about furthering the right to repair than I do "these guys gave some money to a guy who said dumb shit on his blog that probably has 4 readers anyway."
