As mentioned below the photo:
As of now, finding the Flickr page is as simple as searching for "CEO NAME Flickr". His name is in the OP article and easily found elsewhere online by searching sticker mule ceo.
Why are people not saying his name?
Anthony Constantino. The CEO of Stickermule, who abused a company mailing list to spread Pro-Trump propaganda and who has left up a photo of his friends doing a Nazi salute on his personal Flickr account, is Anthony Constantino.
I agree. And I'd like to explain myself...
Personally, I err on the side of always trying to protect myself and my family from fascists (especially monied ones with lawyers and connections). This is even more vital when shining a light on things they probably don't want people to see. That's why, in this case, I'm being careful.
His name is out there and anyone can find it. I'm happy to explain how to find it, but in this case I'm just playing it safe by not repeating it myself... for whatever good it'll do me.
Yeah if fascists harass me for spreading the name of a public figure, they would sooner harass me for tons of other shit. They're a menace to society who should not be respected or tolerated, exactly because they do not respect or tolerate benign differences.
I understand why you might not want to give them any reason to pay attention to you, but I’d prefer if we all spoke out against them, together, and constantly.
I agree with you. I am not the most courageous person; Far from it, in fact. In this case my fear is winning. I have more to lose now than I did 20 years ago, and more people who depend on me. Thank you for your understanding.
For now I do what I can, and I hope I can count on others to help spread the word, maybe make a scene, agitate a bit. A couple of people have posted that image to sticker mule's twitter account, some of which have been removed or hidden by "the algorithm", supposedly. But it would be nice to see more people spreading the photos, more people asking questions. Their instagram, their facebook, wherever. Put it in the face of these neo-fascists and let them publicly defend the CEO then. But I bet they won't. They seem even more cowardly at heart than I am.
It's not cowardly to act in the interest of the safety of those you love. It's only cowardly to throw people under the bus in order to achieve that end. Those of us with less responsibility for the safety of others will still speak out. Thank you for still doing what you can.
I think they meant the location at which the photo was taken and not their positions within the photo?
Yep! I'm an idiot :)
Goddammit. I walked right into that.
Let me rephrase... Ahh nevermind. I'll just assume they were at a grocery store or behind a Denny's.
I'm sorry! I totally misunderstood you. It looks to me like they were in Washington DC but I am no geoguessr expert. There are a lot more photos from the night on the Flickr page.
ETA: Almost certainly DC. And upon further research, one of the guys in right photo may very well be his brother (a co-founder who has since left the company).
