So DHH (the racist and fascist) got 8 million USD for his foundation for his garbage half-baked config files that he claims are a "distribution".

@tante I remember going to a RailsConf one time when he gave the keynote to the congregation and it was so ridiculously self-important and idiotic I could barely believe what I was hearing. Steered away from anything he’s been involved with since.
And he’s just somehow gotten much much worse.
@tante The list of funders is the worst of the worst. Only Thiel is missing.
@tante probably he got 8 million *because* he is fascist and racist.
@tante It's a fascist roll call
@tante what a nightmare list of human trash
@tante Proper joke, and I can see people eat it up because "omg pretty theme"
I took one look at a Linux space and they were like "Yeah this is awesome who cares who that is. Linux is tooo hard, even if my bestie Claude helps me"
I'm wondering if 95% of people are functionally unable to do internet search and are void of any curiosity tbh, because their mind may be blown if someone shows them Archinstall
@happyborg @tante He has been very vocally in favour of ethnic cleansing is what I have been told.
It was enough for a ruby on rails fork to be happening right now.
As for those patrons, many of these people have espoused vile beliefs. Lutke has been vocally in favour of removing voting rights, for instance.
@theeclecticdyslexic you don't say why I, or you should give attention to this. I tend to want more than "I've been told", or the rest of what you say if I'm to get activated about something.
I'm not saying this isn't worthy of vitriol, I'm asking why it is because I don't know, when I've seen people hating on DHH a few times recently without knowing that is behind that.
So can anyone point me to his racist or fascist statements, or his support for others making such statements for ex.

There your breakdown. Plenty of sources in it.
@tante A who is who of dickheads or worse…
@rotnroll666 does Dorsey call himself a „Block Head“? Shit is a cult @tante
@lontrachen @rotnroll666 dude is a Bitcoin weirdo. "block head" is an improvement.
@rotnroll666 Yeah. The worst people.
@tante and look at the eight or now ten founding patrons, who support this racist.
Lot of bros in that list.
@tante Well at least we have somewhere for all his fanboys to congregate.
They can take the oxygen away from each other.
It's a slim silver lining I grant you.
@onepict @tante there are, unfortunately, a lot of people who are not particularly well informed, promoting this stuff to young impressionable “apolitical” audiences. and this funding is going to help them.
I don’t mean apolitical in the “actually just a right-wing chud” sense, either; I have seen women, people of color, and otherwise progressive young men promoting this stuff with zero understanding of its political implications.
