w/r/t dhh, I'm making this part of the public record, because I will not tolerate people who get off on putting others down. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
@codinghorror this you?
@espen it is but I am not necessarily kind to nazis, if that’s ok with you.
@codinghorror claiming DHH is a nazi is incredibly dumb. It’s ok to disagree or critique him but such labels will alienate anyone open to changes in the Ruby community.
@espen fair, he's not a Nazi. He's just a terrible human being who I am ashamed to be associated with in any way, because he gets off on denigrating other people.

@codinghorror @espen Of course, the list of things he has in common with Nazis is longer than one might like.

... having strong opinions on the race makeup of the UK, a country he does not live in. For example.

@mark @codinghorror @espen

His blog post here is very explicitly white supremacist and praising fascist Tommy Robinson. The only thing wrong with calling him a nazi is that it doesn't suit his preferred branding.

As I remember London

As soon as I was old enough to travel on my own, London was where I wanted to go. Compared to Copenhagen at the time, there was something so majestic about Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and even the Tube around the turn of the millenium. Not just because their capital is twice as old as ours, but because it endured twice as much, through ...

@eloquence @mark @codinghorror I think you are reading that in bad faith. Pointing to that march is not endorsing Tommy Robinson for example. The post brings up many valid points about the failing immigration policies in Europe. While I do not support everything in that post I think labelling discussions about changing demographics as nazism and white supremacy isn't very fruitful. It is a tactic often used by the left in Sweden and look where it got them.

@espen @eloquence @mark @codinghorror

Why do you care about changing demographics 🦆 🔪

@burnoutqueen why do you not care about rising crime? Do look at the situation in Sweden for example. Or stats for prison population in Europe for immigrants. 🦆 🔪
@espen @burnoutqueen Espen, is this really who you are? Is this who you want to be? I'm asking openly and honestly. You tell me.
