Techies can’t seem to make up their minds whether they want politics in their life or not. Until they realize, it’s the only way to get what they want - maintaining the status quo.

@pratik it’s super unsurprising that DHH is very comfortable on the site filled with the misognyous, homophobic, Nazi, anti-vax mob as a place without politics.

If the place you’re most comfortable is the Nazi bar…

@pratik it frustrates me when I see communtities I’m in use his products and make excuses for DHH and 37signals.

@rcrackley curious who @pratik is denigrating here?

@rcrackley @pratik I know this isn’t my conversation so I’ll but out, but I don’t think it’s helpful to mash together quotes from a post and subsequent conversation that changed course slightly. If Pratik is attacking anyone it’s leaders at tech companies (most of whom are white) who don’t believe politics should be discussed, but who use politics to their benefit (and use it more easily given their power and money). Stating a group of people is at the top of the food chain does not equate to that group of people taking any specific actions nor did Pratik say that.

@rcrackley @pratik @humdrum @jasonekratz I’m just catching up, but I suggest we pause this conversation for a bit if it looks like it’s going to spiral. Thanks y’all.
