it's official, Ruby is off the rails

[-] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 50 points 1 month ago

What if we just cleansed it of nazis?

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago

Yes, let's do that. Where should we send them?

They don't deserve one, put them in a field and call the crows

[-] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

Reeducation centers ideally located in immigrant ghettos so they can correct the wrong of forcing refugees into under-served areas with no industry or legal way to improve one's situation their politics brought about.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

And as those ghettos would contain zero immigrants but only the finest of fine white people, there would be absolutely zero crime and other problems. Either that or the whole premise is completely wrong, but I wouldn't even think of that.

[-] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

I don't see where you're going with this, reeducation required eventual reintegration, making these people see and correct the systemic injustice they created as part of this seems both practical and moral.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

I'm going to them realizing that they are the problem and not everybody else. They think all the problems come from migrants. Let's remove that variable and check if they are right. Not by removing the migrants, but by removing them from society.

[-] zenzanzoo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Its funny how commies like you would kill for words and still somehow think they have moral grounds

[-] vanillama@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

The person suggesting reeducation and reintegration is someone else, if that's who you meant to respond to

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

Your comment confuses me, but I bet I'm still less confused than you are.

[-] cloudless@lemmy.zip 38 points 1 month ago

Wasn’t familiar with this guy other than through trying Omarchy over one weekend, so I went down the rabbit hole.

Apparently this is something he is fairly well known for:

(from his Wikipedia entry)

“In 2025, Hansson published a blog post expressing support for far-right British activist Tommy Robinson and the 2025 British anti-immigration protests.”

Bold strategy alienating his user base and any supporters still around, let's see if it pays off for him.

I love how all these people who talk about immigration and remigration never talk about Western countries and Israel bombing middle east to oblivion. Sure buddy it is 100% sensible to ask someone to go back to a country with no infrastructure, healthcare or education left thanks to your country and its allies.

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

They also seem to ignore that those millions of regular immigrants are paying billions in taxes

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Simply put, they don't care.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago

Simply put, they want to genocide people.

[-] vanillama@programming.dev 23 points 1 month ago

What a dumbass. Doubling and tripling and quadrupling down and knowing literally nothing about what he's talking about.

First of all, the US won't beat China because they deindustrialized and China is the factory of the world. This won't change short of a nuclear holocaust.

Second of all, most environmentalists want investment in greener energy so that we don't destroy the world if we can avoid that. China already makes cheap renewables, and it will only get cheaper still. Europe's energy crisis is tied to importing expensive US energy and not even trying to go renewable so they break off that dependency.

Third, as the US makes the world economy implode with a new stupid war the price of energy will only keep going up and up, so countries that heavily rely on importing energy will suffer a lot. You can't techbro your way out of this, and this should be obvious, but no amount of ethnic cleansing can reindustrialize an economy. Not only is his whole ideology appalling for anyone with a modicum of empathy, it's also not grounded in reality. But no, I'm sure if we all just believe in capitalism and fascism hard enough things will magically get better! Come on guys, the US is doing that and it's TOTALLY not just a bubble!!!!

It’s always fascinating to me how smart people can be so dumb.

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah, being smart, being educated and being wise are three entirely separate things.

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

He lives in a parallel universe

The best part of the American ethos is the belief that we can build our way out of anything. Behind China on chips and fabs? Let's build. Challenged by BYD? Let's build. Catch a glimpse of a future massively accelerated by AI? LET'S BUILD.

Build Chips and fabs = build some megaproject that won't be used because stockholders prefer to save $0.04 per unit

Challenged by byd? Let's sweep it under the rug with tariffs. But when in a few years their cars are actually better than Ford and GM, what to do?

Finally the ai grift with massive underutilized datacenters

[-] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Wow.

Right, so this guy officially is fair game for Nazi-punching.

[-] dudesss@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Now I'm wondering which software on my PC uses Ruby on Rails so I can reconsider.

[-] serpineslair@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It's a web framework. Directly, probably none. However there may well be plenty of sites/web servers using it.

[-] Piatro@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

It's funny because I've worked with ruby on rails my entire career and can barely see how he built the tool that such an open and inclusive community formed around. He was always an outlier in that setting and even more so now. My understanding is that he's not very involved with the project and even if he was it would be pointless to boycott it since he doesn't gain anything from it anymore. Hey and Basecamp on the other hand, yeah, neither are seeing a penny from me.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Absolutely no surprise that the “Rails Is Omakase” guy is a moron.

[-] one_old_coder@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

Not only Rails but also Hey.com which he created somehow. He will definitely lose customers.

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 3 points 1 month ago

These guys are all having their brains cooked in group chats

[-] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Oh shoot, has anyone seen him and Tim McIlrath in the same room before??
