There's a difference between posting about anarchism, and being an anti-vaxxer/anti-masker.
I generally don't care about a colleague's politics (as long as they don't constantly bring it out in work-related conversations), but not sure I want to work with someone who is going to be a dick about getting vaccinated or wearing a mask during a pandemic.
Beyond that, the guy won't patronize Haagen Dazs because they support BLM (which he believes to be a "terrorist organization"), and won't patronize Ben & Jerry's because they once tweeted that the phenomenon of police killings of black people is rooted in white supremacy.
Just looking at that list would make me gag at the idea of hiring this person, and I suspect I'm not alone by a long shot. Start reading stuff on his blog and... it gets worse.
I don't think this is about having a "corporate friendly" online persona... it's just about not being kinda a shitty person.
