From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't know about the sources. If you read some of the sources, for example DHH's own words in his blog posts, while you find conservative grievances which is certainly fair game for disagreement, there are no smoking guns of far right behaviour.

The comparison of omarchy's design philosophy is particularly egregious. The philosophy is opinionated software. What does consuming a product without being in personal control of every single detail have to do with politics?

supporting tommy robinson isn't far-right enough?

This is what he actually said:

That frustration was on wide display in Tommy Robinson’s march yesterday.

He didn’t even say anything about Tommy Robinson or his politics, he was talking about a march.

Regardless of anything else DHH said or how you feel about it, I have not seen him voice any support for Robinson.

the amount of lies is interesting from your part.

Let's go to the awfully fascist page https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64 , search for "Robinson" and... 2 occurrences. the first being what you quoted* ("this frustration" referring to

So I get the frustration that many Brits have with the way mass immigration has changed the culture and makeup of not just London, but their whole country.

Then the second times shows

Which brings us back to Robinson's powerful march yesterday. The banner said "March for Freedom", and focused as much on that now distant-to-the-Brits concept of free speech, as it did on restoring national pride.

And for good reason! The totalitarian descent into censorious darkness in Britain has been as swift as its demographic shift. [...]

So... he didn't say anything about Robinson's politics? You surely see only what you want.
