Why wouldn’t we want to dismantle dei? Why would anyone want a system in place that promotes diversity for diversity sake instead of a meritocracy. Like a don’t care if a trans black chick wrote the code that runs my shit I just want it to be bug free.

A nazi is a National Socialist. A fascist is someone asking the state to use violence against political opposition. If you're not being paid for political activism, you shouldn't expect to be doing it during work hours. Especially if everyone has been convinced that everything is political™. Unless it's legal activism like unionizing but even that is often not permitted using company infrastructure and while clocked in. I don't think this is a good example of hindering free speech. You don't get to tell your employer's clients you hate them without facing consequences so that's limiting free speech as well. Want to combine work and political activism? Do it with your own money and company. DEI is a failed initiative with lofty goals it couldn't ever have achieved in the current political system. Criticism of that is neither far right nor an indicator for support of either fascism or Nazism. It's on observation and a theory that can be wrong in some places and situations and true in others. I don't see anyone being against DEI calling for the suppression of women or minorities or calling for the culling of disabled people like others often insinuate. Wokism is a political ideology. You can support it or be against it without necessarily being a bad person. Some goes for anti-wokism. London/Paris/etc looking like shit nowadays is a mix of various failures of the Western system: Broken monetary system, broken democracy, broken social contracts, rampant corruption, incompetence, mass migration, consumerism, homelessness, mass media influence operations, drug smuggling, general lack of care and resignation of the people inhabiting it. Focusing on migration/foreigners is just a distraction from that. dhh's post is clearly stating that his take is based on his memory of London which is highly subjective, faded by time and also romanticised. (I've been to London a few times over the years as well and its decay is difficult to ignore.) His sources are all major newspapers or Wikipedia and their chain-of-trust of accepted sources. All fascists, Nazis, far right loonies? dhh isn't doing too well either. He could clearly state that he's against fascism, quote the definition, explain his position and be done with it. He'd also be playing into the hands of others who will dissect every word, take some out of context and feel more motivated because they got the reaction they wanted and write another hit piece. AFAIK dhh didn't link to any posts of his critics though but linked instead to his supporters so he's not targeting individuals which the opposition does. Maybe not playing is the only winning move. But you risk leaving the entire stage to people who are calling you a fascist which isn't something you might want to see associated with you in the current climate, especially if you're running a company. I don't know what I would do. Even me ranting my frustrations about all this is adding more fuel to the fire at a small level. If we want to be able to talk to each other again we'll have to establish some common ground, align on the meaning of words we use, assume good faith until proven otherwise and stop bullies from ganging up on people. If you try this you'll be called out by either side of being a shill for the other. Or we'll fight each other in the streets in a few years.

what did dhh do now?

Nothing really. Just a response to a sloppy AI summary of the mess.
