Yep, here we go. I'm a nazi now 🙄 This is exactly how you edge people out. You're just the another flavor of "everything I don't like is wOkE" but instead "everything I don't like jNaZi!".
Nobody's in the middle. There's no nuance. You're either on my side or you're an enemy. Life's just that simple.
I firmly believe there are ways of being a centrist without being a Nazi. Hell, I believe you can be a pre-Trump-era Republican without being a Nazi. But there are also fascists who self-identify in these factions, and they benefit from the smokescreen of the "Everyone I don't like is a Nazi" fallacy of argument. There is nuance. I can't help but feel that you're projecting.
Ethnic cleansing and its supporters are definitionally fascists though, and I don't believe organizations should support those people. And David Heinemeier Hansson, like the Nazis, is a fascist. And I find it suspect and disturbing that people are referring to that as purity-testing.
If your default is equating "centrist" to "nazi", then I wonder what kind of experiences you had but it's so far from mine that it's pointless to continue this.
Not my default, but okay, you're clearly bad faith. I'm done. Goodbye.
