Keep in mind that this is a blog post by someone who obviously doesn't like dhh very much, going so far as to prime everyone into reading exactly what he wants them to read instead of just linking to his posts. Basically every sentence just reeks of disgust for someone having a different opinion.
I would never publish something like this on community infrastructure that I'm contributing to. Shameful.
Yeah, it's not like fully agree with the guy or the fact that he posted it, but it is kind of stupid to call this piece of writing "shameful" while trying to defend someone who bring andrew tate as a positive example to convey his message. At least be fair and label both as shameful.
Nah, if you're fine with people getting debanked for having opinions you disagree with, that's shameful.
DHH on Andrew Tate btw:
> You don't have to like any of Andrew Tate's takes on men, women, wealth, or the world to see that this modern, coordinated unperson campaign against his "wicked words" is crazy. It's also likely to be counterproductive. I'd literally never heard of Andrew Tate until he got banned. Now he's everywhere, and has a credible martyr role to drape his spiel in.
> Basically every sentence just reeks of disgust for someone having a different opinion.
I don't really get that impression. A lot of DHH's blogposts are simply delusion, and have no bearing on reality whatsoever. Posts like his Calling someone a "nazi" is a permission slip for violence is simply untrue no matter who you are or where you live. Discrediting that type of opinion doesn't require you to disagree at all, just to point out local laws to people.
There are likely places where the OP and DHH disagree on matters of pure opinion. But calling his essays "the worst possible takes" is pretty close to objectively true when he's calling for violent witch hunts against the people who disagree with him. He's the one that needs to apologize, there's nothing wrong with drawing the line at violent threats on behalf of your community.
I don't know man, when I lived in a rather big city, I saw lots of stickers everywhere inciting violence towards Nazis, the people I used to hang around with adopted that lingo over the years and just scrolling through Mastodon I see a lot of foamy mouths whenever some masked dude attacks someone they perceive to be a nazi. Another example is some "nobody " (as in not some influencer or something) whom I don't know personally but he probably didn't throw a stone into his own window after he was interviewed in some live stream about his critical views on migration at a public protest. You have a lot of crazy people on all sides and the more you devalue certain terminology until it applies to a broad spectrum of people, it becomes a way to dehumanize them in the eyes of a certain group and all it needs for violence to erupt is one loose canon in a mental health crisis.
> Posts like his Calling someone a "nazi" is a permission slip for violence is simply untrue no matter who you are or where you live.
It is simply true. Lots of people think it’s okay to punch nazis. There was a whole public debate about that around 7 years ago when a famous nazi got punched. The phrase “punch a nazi” got quite popular after that.
Lol, so you went from "this guy is a pedo" to "this guy is loosely associated with something that's associated with something else that a felon volunteers on"
that guy is a debian developer first and foremost from reading his contributions that ends up volunteering to do other projects releases to ease up debian. He was/is hired by ubuntu to maintain packages on the desktop.
So according to you, all debian developers and contributions are pedos. Take your meds.
>that guy is a debian developer first and foremost from reading his contributions that ends up volunteering to do other projects releases to ease up debian.
False, he was a Canonical employee that was on the Desktop team concentrating on GNOME. He and alatiera (the pedo-bar linked GNOME blog) worked together.
>So according to you, all debian developers and contributions are pedos.
They worked closely together on the same team. Closer than Trump and Epstein.
>Take your meds.
"Take your meds" the leftist chortled after claiming men can be pregnant and defending pedophiles. Take your rope pedo.
