> This is not about digging up some old careless post. It’s about his current views which he posts proudly online.

Firstly, this is what happened to several people not just DHH.

Secondly, constantly berating him for having the wrong opinions and not explaining why those opinions are wrong are more likely to entrench his positions and anyone that is sympathetic to those opinions.

> I’ll note your post pulls a classic trick: - these views are not that important to who he is - anyway even if he did hold those views it’s not that big of a deal - but also I agree with those views (even tho I am but a humble, reasonable centrist)

No I am not pulling any tricks. I never said I agree with them. I said why the sentiment exists and why it is becoming more broadly accepted. I am quite happy to talk politely about any issue that I believe I can have some input on, but I do not appreciate you alluding that I am some sort of secret fascist.

I've been down the political rabbit hole years ago and came to the conclusion I had been manipulated and lied to (by both the right and the left). After that I try to pay as little attention to politics as possible as it is outside of my locus of control.

Because any right of centre sentiment is often called fascist.

DHH has a blog post where he explains his views. You can look there for yourself. I read it the blog post that is frequently cited some time ago and it was standard anti-immigration talking points that been floating around Conservative spaces for quite some time now.
