DHH—creator of Ruby on Rails, CTO at 37signals, and Shopify board member—has published white-nationalist essays. He called a Tommy Robinson "remigration" march "heartwarming,"[1][2][3][46] and wrote another comparing Roma people to wolves to be shot and deported.[4][5] Anthropic's own model refused to translate it, calling it dehumanizing.[6]

I still don't see a definition of fascist, only baseless accusations with the worst possible interpretations of their posts.

a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti)** that exalts nation and often race above the individual**, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by** forcible suppression of opposition**

From DHH's blog:

Because as the number of wolves has been rising sharply every year since 2021, so too has the number of dead sheep. In 2021, it was 78, then in the years that followed, it was 162, 336, 521, and last year, it was 1,285! But the official line is still that shooting a wolf without a special permit is strictly prohibited because they're an endangered species, so maybe sheep herders could just try some more fences?

You don't have to be a statistician to see the problem here. When you have a surging wolf population, you'll have the rate of dead sheep following suit. If the only answer to the situation is "maybe try some more fences?", you're going to get more of what you already have: an out-of-control population that's an increasing risk to sheep, livestock, and potentially humans too.

This is the most basic consequence of inaction in the face of a growing threat: the problem just gets worse.

Cue the gypsies in Copenhagen, and their increasingly brazen behavior, after the city legalized overnight sleeping in parks and other green areas last year. Because "it shouldn't be illegal to be homeless", so the police refuses to act.

This has predictably led to these foreign vagrants setting up camp in the green areas around some of the city's metro stations to the great dismay of neighbors. The vagrants are literally shitting in the bushes, which obviously stinks, and the area isn't made any more inviting by the open-fire cooking that's also going on.

Please tell me what the charitable interpretation of this is, and how it is not leaning towards "remove the foreign animals by force before they destroy our beautiful white culture"

EDIT: Let me not forget the best bit:

Standing idly by while your livestock is devoured by predators or your neighborhood is taken over by migrants is a pathetic abdication of any functioning society's most basic duty to its citizens.

When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them. This isn't hard, it isn't cruel. It's the basic logic of self-preservation.

I see you being a fucking idiot.

What's the correct interpretation, then? Say it already, coward!

[+] refalo@programming.dev -28 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

  fascism
      n 1: a political theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical
           government (as opposed to democracy or liberalism)

Please point to where they are advocating for an authoritarian government.

Hint: It's not in the posts "As I remember London" or "Wolves, sheep, and gypsies".

That doesn't sound fair does it? That's exactly what people are doing by making these claims without critical thinking and having their minds already made up.

“No one has provided me with a definition of fascism! I’ll provide my own!”

[removes everything from the definition except advocacy of authoritarian governments]

“See guys! YOU where wrong!”

Even with the stripped out version of the definition, that still clearly defines the current Republican regime. It's a self own if I've ever seen one.

[–] gusgalarnyk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

DHH explicitly calls for a strong leader and that they must be followed. I read ONE of his blog posts to verify he's what everyone is saying he is, and ya in plain English he was parroting the same racist, racist, authoritarian bullshit every sad loser who refuses to go to therapy is spouting. Literally break bread with a black person, get offline and read a book written by a famous dead marginalized person (like Frankenstein or something it's not hard to find an applicable and enjoyable book), and realize poor immigrants can't afford the housing in London and then think about why housing everyone is getting more expensive AND the world has a trillionaire.

It's really not very hard to draw the correct connections vs the wrong one.
