Yes, I dismissed the reactions as overreaction and the usual drama, until I read what DHH himself has written this summer. He would no longer fit the European far right comfortably to be honest, his current views align better with the 1930's. And that way SV happily invests tens of millions to your collection of dotfiles.

Can you post the 1930 view link? So far people seem to be posting links to one view that basically any average politically conservative person would hold (limit immigration), although admittedly more flowery prose

  You and others have been provided with links to DHH's writing plenty of times when you've asked for evidence in the many threads on this subject that you've participated in over the past few months. If you don't want to give the impression that you're sealioning in an attempt to derail people's conversations, it might be a good idea to first read some of those links before asking for them again.

    Sorry what? This is the first time I'm hearing about DHH in non-Ruby context. No idea about guy's life or views. I thought he's american. I already read the two circulating links before posting. It's a common politically conservative person's view ("less immigrants please"). It's clear him and me won't agree on some things (I wouldn't go to Robinson's marches) just like I don't agree on things with some European friends who are too conservative or too leftist, but I'm really interested to hear his 1930s views... unless you want to trivialize what was happening back then?

      >"less immigrants please" By God, is that how you read it? The comparison to animals, that he could not live with people of different ethnicity? And by "ethnicity", this literally means "non-white" people, as he, as a Danish person, wanted to move to London and complains that there are too many foreigners. This is the AfD-level right-wing, not your casual conservative. Regardless, it's pretty expected that people would not want to support someone who writes this awful kind of similes.

        The comparison to animals cuts both ways, right? He's comparing locals to sheep > And by "ethnicity", this literally means "non-white" people I read the links before I posted. I remember reading "non-Danes" and talking about Brits and non Brits. to me being a British person is about culture not skin color. If he is judging people by skin color then I'll disagree with him on that.

        I'm honestly not entirely sure what you're doing. >He's comparing locals to sheep Yes, you're right! Romani people to wolves. And locals as sheep. And we should put down the wolves. >I read the links before I posted. One link specifically says "non-Danes" the other one is talking about Brits and non Brits. Yes, you're right! Brits and non-brits. Let's scour: >That was then. Now, I wouldn't dream of it. London is no longer the city I was infatuated with in the late '90s and early 2000s. Chiefly because it's no longer full of native Brits. There's a hint of what's going on here. Danish person wants to move to London. Gets to London. "gee, I could never migrate here, there are way too few native Brits". It's almost like he considers himself "a native Brit". Buddy just doesn't like colored people.

        > Romani people to wolves. And locals as sheep The comment I responded to had an issue with him comparing Roma people to animals. I just said he compared local people to animals too. Now if you move goalposts and say comparing to wolves is worse than comparing to sheep, we can argue about that but it's a different argument. > Yes, you're right! Brits and non-brits Exactly. But the comment I responded to claimed he hated people based on skin color. Brits can be black, you know? Some of my favorite brits are black or asian. Other articles provided by a sibling comment show he believes people cannot integrate based on the country of their parents' origin, which is a wrong view in my opinion, but that quoted part you're replying about isn't about that.
