Thanks Mike, I editted, and asked this:

I seem to remember some of DHH's controversy due to banning politics at basecamp or something. Is it related to that?

Yet another "it's okay if I move there, but now that they have moved there, it sucks and is 'foreign'" take.

It just reads like thinly veiled racism.

I wouldn't be surprised. The presence of this quote in the linked document:

> A person’s character is determined not only by their actions, but also the actions they stay silent while witnessing.

Suggests that the person who wrote it is deeply obsessed with political activism.

Inaction is an action in itself, they are right in this. IDK where you see a deep obsession in a recognition of this obvious fact.

Didn't RC drop DHH from RailsConf because of his views? Seems weird to think they're collaborate on a coup or whatever is being suggested here.

They dropped him as keynote speaker a few years ago, and then under new leadership, brought DHH back for the final RailsConf hosted by Ruby Central this year.

The Ruby Central that dropped him is not the same people running Ruby Central today.
