I wasn't sure what to make of claims that this random techbro is a fascist, so I decided to look for clues. I found this article from last month in minutes, and after reading it, I require no further convincing. Guy's a Nazi whether he knows it or not.

    Quote from end of your linked article. Note he talks about humans:

    When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them.

    This guy is complete trash. Does excessive coding rip holes into people's brains?

    No, because until the dot-com era when "tech bros" first became a thing, a lot of the computing pioneers were leftist/hippie counterculture types. Think MIT AI Lab (RMS), The Homebrew Computer Club (Woz, Captain Crunch), Germany's Chaos Computer Club, etc.

    Explain the likes of Curtis Yarvin then. There's definitely some techno fascists that go back further than dot-com

    He said "a lot", he didn't say "all"

    I explained myself badly and I think that comment reads as more argumentative than I intended.

    I meant to say that the countercultural world of the early internet created a lot of the deeply problematic culture of the current moment as well as having a bunch of right-on goodness. The seeds of the bad shit were also there in amongst everything that was good.

    There seems to be a notable amount of FOSS coders of the old guard (90s til 00s) that are like that.

    I long frequented a place called linuxquestions.org. You wouldn't believe how right-wing to libertarian most of the people there were. Still are I guess.

    Some gained status (Ruby on Rails was a big thing 1 or 2 decades back) and started spouting things because they knew people were listening.

    Some people in such communities recognize that there's something off here, and they have this excuse ready: all coders/nerds are basically on the spectrum (they don't phrase it like this though) and don't know how to phrase things politely, they just blurt it out.

    As if that makes things better when you think like that guy.

    If anyone is interested in a more thorough and recent write-up of why many of us call DHH fash, this gnome blog post is pretty good: https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/11/06/dhh-and-omarchy-midlife-crisis/

    You either log off a hero, or you see yourself create another linux distribution, and having failed the first part, DHH has been pouring his energy into creating a new project.

    That line sent me.

    Ugh, I stopped reading when he segued from wolves being a danger to humans straight into the "gypsy problem" 🤮

    Also had a look at the site for this distro, he really seems to like cars and seems to be pretty full of himself about some neither-new-nor-original arch+tiling_wm distro.

    The creator and maintainer of NeoVim was also really against removing a DHH endorsement from the NeoVim website and called it cancel culture.

    Made me look at helix, which actually works better for my usecase. So I guess I gotta thank him for that?

    as a fellow dane, david is the corniest type of danish guy.. a dork turned fascist because of built up resentment.

    He has 100% been a Assmongold viewer if he isnt still, and probably knows wayy too much about trans people in womens sports despite not knowing a single shit about medically transitioning

    ive had my share of encounters with his type.

    They don’t actually understand what Nazis or fascism even are. They treat it all like a weird sports team thing where everything is just a derogatory word for things you don’t like. They’ll never see they are the bad guys. Not capable of it or they wouldn’t be this way to begin with.

    also if you listen to 10 seconds of any podcast with him you'll hear him say the r slur like 20 times. when I first heard about him two or so years ago, this was my first red flag. I immediately paused and checked his blog... yep fucking nazi piece of shit

    lmao here

    One thing I find interesting is under "Modern Use" on wikipedia it says:

    On January 6 2025, Elon Musk sent a post on X (formerly Twitter) containing the slur. The Montclair State University published a study pointing to a 207.5% increase in posts on the site containing the word r***rd following Musk's post.[12]

    In May 2025, CNN noted that the word was "surging in popularity online among some celebrities and their fans," and quoted Joe Rogan as saying, "The word ‘r****ded’ is back, and it's one of the great culture victories."[13]

    As if I didn't already think that this was a fascist dog whistle... seems like there is actual evidence to back up that while fascism is on the rise, the use of that word is also on the rise. I've probably watched / read some shit on this already, and just forgot lol
