Any additional context for those out of the loop?

This was the first blog that I found on the matter: https://gardinerbryant.com/the-omarchy-framework-thing/

tldr; DHH is a controversial figure, and Framework are latching onto Omarchy. I think some folks think that Framework's image is being tarnished by working with DHH.

DHH is a controversial figure who increasingly comes out as tone deaf and perpetuating reactionary myths. It's not new either.

It really is so sad to see people get sucked into the alt-right pipeline and not even realize it despite it being so obvious from the outside that it's happening. For all his talk on indoctrination it's weird to suddenly have very specific opinions on a bunch of unrelated topics you have no personal involvement in, no expertise in, and tangible connection to.

Except of course that despite these issues not moving the needle on basically anything in daily life they are part of a grand conspiracy corrupt society in some nonspecific way and must be eradicated. In a way I really can't blame any individual because there's very little in the way of defenses against it but it's sad to see the cocktail of intelligence, arrogance, and fame mean that no one will ever be successful at pulling him out.
