Should every company stop doing business with the US Government? After all they are ultimately responsible for all the human rights violations.

Activists employees imposing "do not sell/service to people I don't agree with" is a very dangerous precedent.

Before you say this isn't politics but a human rights issue, ask yourself: Does the other side thinks the same? If not, it definitely is a political issue.

I'm curious why you think it's a problem to refuse service to customers you think behave unethically

That is within their right, why is it bad? Are you making a slippery slope argument?

Separately, I do think that the current polarization is very concerning, and I don't know how to mitigate it.
