Comment on GNOME founder and team say DHH is a fascist

Comments

On the one hand maybe? I mean plenty of non-profits expand how they spend their money from core mission to like supporting adjacent issues, and I’m not in any way defending or making a statement on DHH’s views which I think can be described using many words , but like “b tier tech celebrity creates a Linux distro to funnel tech funds to marginal right wing groups”

Is a weird conspiracy theory when funneling money to marginal right wing groups isn’t nearly the taboo it once was.

Does the GNOME founder think Omarchy is the SPLC or something?

The thing is DHH isn’t a fascist: he doesn’t want a state controlling everything and certainly doesn’t want an ethnostate for whatever his ethnicity is. That’s a bizarre and very serious claim to make. He’s just a normal person that happens to be right wing.

It’s presumptuous of you to claim to know someone’s inner motivations which ever direction you’re trying to take it.

You're correct but misguided, in that it's presumptuous to claim someone's inner motivations are evil as the GNOME team are doing.

It is reasonable of people to think DHH is not a fascist as there's no evidence to support him being one.
