Ruby Central Is Not Behaving in Good Faith, and I've Got Receipts

I really had no idea of DHH's politics and I read through the linked posts and, while I don't agree with a bunch of what DHH said, none strike me as excessively extreme. Worth debating? Sure. Worth protesting? Less sure.

I will say DHH's post on Trump's return is like reading something from an alternate universe (https://world.hey.com/dhh/mega-a0f62cd4). What optimism was there in Trump's second campaign? Trump promised exactly what he's doing: retribution, tariffs, self-dealing and corruption, accelerating climate change, etc. I'm curious DHH's assessment of the past ~9 months and how it matches with his original "optimism".

I think it's tricky because he's vocally supporting Tommy Robinson. It's pretty similar to if he came out in support of the KKK or something like that.

As someone who did enjoy his writing it's quite shocking and really very disappointing.
