As a European... please no. I'm so tired of the US trying to fight a proxy political turf war by fitting their simplistic maga/democrat viewpoints over everything. The truth, it's pretty complicated. But since all things US blow over, the biggest help would be fix your own backyard, and then perhaps moderate discussions can again prevail.

  As a European and Londoner we absolutely have to speak up and be upset if companies support someone who’s said a whole load of awful shit and got away with it. It’s not particularly complicated, actually.

  > Expelling people who have no particular attachment or roots to a given land is not ethnic cleansing. If you are going to expel people you need more than hand wavy definitions like this. Or does it just come down to "people who are not like us"?

  > Expelling people who have no particular attachment or roots to a given land is not ethnic cleansing. And, pray tell, who decides if a person has "particular attachment or roots"? For example, would you be fine with me deciding if you do?

DHH is definitely a polarizing figure, but this kind of hyperbole (Ethnic Cleansing) definitely harms progressive causes. I get that some people feel strongly about fairness and justice, but I would like them to care just as much about efficacy and being effective instead of just histrionics.

  He called Romani people slurs and compared them to wolves that should be shot for the survival of the human population, which of course, exclusively refers to white people. How much more explicit would he have to get for you to allow us to condemn his actions for what they are?

    Fair enough, I didn't know his position was that extreme.

      Well perhaps consider this before speaking my dude. DHH has already written a bunch of pretty horrific stuff and this post was kind of the icing on the cake.

  I mean he bitched publicly that an llm wouldn’t translate his shitty racist article.

  > but this kind of hyperbole Looking at the linked DHH posts, which part(s) do you think make "ethnic cleansing" hyperbole? It seems like a pretty fair reading of his wishes to me.
