Don’t be hyperbolic. Enforcing immigration policy isn’t a crime against humanity.
Forced relocation is defined as a crime against humanity.

It's a political statement disguised as a FOSS project (which itself is fine, all software is political). The funders are not funding the development of a Linux distro, they are co-signing the political statement.

While not commenting on the rest, I just want to point out that Omarchy is not a distro (yet?).

> calls openly for the ethnic cleansing That is not what he is doing and you know it. It's funny how people like to pretend that fake news somehow only originate from the right when in fact it's a method used by all the political sides. He calls for the removal of people who are bothering the general population at large because they occupy illegally the public spaces, defecate in the parks, set up illegal camps in th…
"it's not ethnic cleansing because this time the Jews really ARE evil, okay"
You are right, let's just all push the rhetoric to the max and completely forget how to have nuanced discussions about complex topics.
It clearly is a lot easier to scream "nazis" from one side and "woke" from the other. I am sure we will get somewhere fast.

I agree about most of what he's said (e.g. "The London I remember" is totally inaccurate but not actually offensive), but did you see this? https://world.hey.com/dhh/three-sacred-cows-that-must-die-so... > Because the sacred cow here is not just that mass migration must stop going forward. It's also that millions who are already in Europe must go. He's suggesting we round up all the brown people and deport them... (H…
To be fair, he's suggesting remigrating the illegal immigrants , that are millions in Europe. Unfortunately the European asylum laws are a big loophole: if you claim asylum and you're subsequently denied (sometimes after months or years), there's no legal way of sending you back to your original country against your will. That's why the hard right (and soon the center of right, and maybe some parts of the left) insis…
> Remigration is a far-right concept referring to the ethnic cleansing[1] via mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants and sometimes including native-born citizens, to their place of racial ancestry.

No, it is definitely possible to make great software without inserting messaging on irrelevant issues into it. Whatever the quality of Omarchy, DHH is right about parts of the free software world becoming entangled worth various irrelevant causes.
I have a feeling the right to exist might be something very relevant to a lot of people.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What do personal blogs and tweets have to do with Omarchy? I guess DHH is just bad and tainted from a far left point of view. I regard that kind of thinking as totalitarian.
Yea, what a great point! It's totalitarian for a bunch of individuals to call out someone for their bad ideas. And it's definitely not totalitarian for someone to encourage governments to carry out textbook ethnic cleansing. You're a true thought-leader!
It seems you are indicating DHH has advocated for ethnic cleansing. When did he do this?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I wonder if that will change now he's gone from edgy opinions that rile up woke people (e.g. immigration is too high in the UK) to actually advocating ethnic cleansing (not the murdery kind but still...). https://world.hey.com/dhh/three-sacred-cows-that-must-die-so... I think that crosses a line for even normal politically centrist (by European standards at least).
His rhetoric has crossed into the murdery kind, actually: > When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them. You don't get to make this contrast and pretend you didn't. The only way his rhetoric could be more clear is if he bought a gun and shot them himself.
Also if you're American it's probably good background knowledge to know that gypsies actually are a wart on society; not a downtrodden race. Deporting gypsies specifically would not be an especially controversial opinion in Europe (in theory anyway, if not in practice).

I'm very far from it but I saw many exchanges in my twitter timeline (because now when you click on a tweet to read it or interact, the algorithm thinks it's your only interest in life). Do basically, they got 8 millions dollars of funding, they bragged and criticized others in linux and said some political stuff, they were also criticized by others including political stuff from the other side (not sure of the order…
> Personally I like my Linux distro like my coffee: competently managed, with a minimum of drama and with having to hear the less assholes possible. I've been using Linux since 1993 and at various points every distro under the sun and that perfectly describes exactly zero Linux distributions.

> which itself is fine, all software is political I don't mean to get distracted from the topic at hand, but is that really true? If I create my own software stack for the TRMNL display I received as a gift because I think it's fun and interesting, is that a political statement? What politics does that involve? If someone makes a small Rust library that implements some days structure and a few hundred people find it…
Since I don't really believe in a universal right or wrong sentiment, I'll just say I think it depends on each person's own interpretation/definition of the word politics.
I don't personally care what people define it as to them, but if I were to look in my dictionary, I personally interpret that definition to mean "any time someone tries to influence others."
Now... we could argue that software by definition is trying to force people to only use it in a certain way (the way it's written or how it executes), and that that is by definition, political. We could also argue that bug reports and feature requests are also political because you are trying to influence the developer or community of a project in how they run things.
Not everyone is going to agree with those conclusions, and that's ok, because IMO there isn't a simple "right" or "wrong" answer.

Nothing in that linked comment points to where DHH specifically takes a stand against the "freedom to exist."
I disagree. Calling for ethnic cleansing counts to me as taking a stance against a group's right to existence.
