Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

david heinemeier hanson of the ruby on rails fame decided to post a white supremacist screed with a side of transphobia because now he doesn't need to pretend anything anymore. it's not surprising, he was heading this way for a while, but seeing the naked apology of fascism is still shocking for me.
any reasonable open source project he participates in should immediately cut ties with the fucker. (i'm not holding my breath waiting, though.)
Urgh, I couldn't even get through the whole article, it's too disgusting. What a surprise that yet another "no politics at work"-guy turns out to support fascism!
just yesterday I saw this toot and now I know why
(I mean, they probably should’ve bounced the guy a decade ago, but definitely even more time for it now)
@mawhrin just casually pitching “great replacement theory” there. What a little Nazi
I was in London last week and I can confirm it still has the Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and streets. The Tube is as shite and loud and warm and tight as ever. I even got called a cunt once. Had a blast. On a scale of Bordeaux to Beans on Toast I rank it 9/10 Britishness
@mawhrin @BlueMonday1984 bad news, he's just financed a coup of Rubygems…
(well, shopify did. he's on the board. so, looks like, best guess.)
(edit: fixed wrong company name.)
@fishidwardrobe @mawhrin @BlueMonday1984 Do you mean shopify? https://joel.drapper.me/p/rubygems-takeover/
@koantig @mawhrin @BlueMonday1984 bugger, yes, editing.
