On the one hand maybe? I mean plenty of non-profits expand how they spend their money from core mission to like supporting adjacent issues, and I’m not in any way defending or making a statement on DHH’s views which I think can be described using many words , but like “b tier tech celebrity creates a Linux distro to funnel tech funds to marginal right wing groups”
Is a weird conspiracy theory when funneling money to marginal right wing groups isn’t nearly the taboo it once was.
If Lunduke is calling something a conspiracy theory, it probably isn’t. This guy has been playing for a right wing grifting gig but he’s just too unlikable.
He wanted them deported for camping permanently in public spaces? If you think people have no choice to that based on their race we both know who the racist is.
Is there already a law against camping in public spaces? Apply that law. Any treatment of groups other than according to the law (when the law itself makes no mention of a discriminating attribute) is racism/sexism/etc. One law for all right?
Are you under the impression that I am the co-founder of GNOME?
I was speaking to the conspiracy theory here, that the donations to Omarchy are just a passthrough to unsavory organizations.
It’s, at least, plausible to me for two reasons.
1. Omarchy is just a pre-configured Arch install and doesn’t require large donations for maintenance.
2. The donators (Lutke and Dell) are all Trump-adjacent or have expressed authoritarian views in the past. Lutke, for example, advocates stripping poor people of the right to vote and giving the rich more votes.
He has dehumanized minorities and alluded to using violence against them. I’m not interested in debating whether or not that’s fascist or not. It’s shitty behavior indicative of the modern far right.
The conspiracy theory is that these donations aren’t tech related but are dressed up to be. And that I find plausible given the behaviors of the modern right.
Fascist.. that word has been rendered impotent and meaningless right along with words like 'racist' and 'nazi' from the improper and hyper-over-use of these words by lunatics who toss them around like Oprah handing out shitbags to her audience. "YOU are a fascist and YOU are a fascist and YOU...!" while all the idiots clap and cheer.

no. Nothing I have said would indicate that. You wrote:

Hence asking if you have any evidence that DHH is a fascist. You then started talking about someone else.
