There are suspicions that the air india crash may not have been pilot mistake after a second air india 787 experienced similar issues with the fuel cutoff switches not staying in the run position

An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner was grounded after its left fuel control switch failed to stay in the ‘run’ position twice and moved to ‘cutoff’ during engine startup, an airline spokesperson said.

He funded the projects of a person who holds those beliefs multiple times and has not denounced DHH’s beliefs when questioned. Saying you are pro immigrant and pro lgbt is not a counter to working with and funding someone who wants those people gone.

It doesnt matter if he isn’t personally a white supremacist if he chooses to KNOWINGLY work with and FUND them over the concerns of others in the community. Big tent is stupid. If a nazi walks into a bar, announces theres a nazi, and you do not kick them out, that is a nazi bar. If they found out later that he was a white supremacist, the first thing they should have done was stop funding, apologize for funding him and not knowing about his views, say that they do not agree with those views and they are not welcome, and that they would be more careful in the future.

We only got bits and pieces of that after the community complained. Giving a nazi money, then when it is found out saying “well, we have a bit tent ideology,” then later after getting flak for it saying “well actually I’m pro- the things the nazi hates” is not very inspiring. A company that actually cares would admit the fault and fix it, not try to brush it under the rug.

They’ve funded DHH, a British Danish white supremacist, creator of ruby on rails and omarchy. They gave material support (hardware) to him and their argument was basically that it didn’t go directly to him but to an organization he was a part of - they obscured this on the sponsorships page and idt omarchy’s sponsorship was ever even added

Now it turns out they give money to a conference he made because he got banned from the original ruby on rails community for causing problems there

They couldn’t even come out and say that they dont hold those views, threw a hissy fit on social media and then slightly adjusted their sponsorships page

What they should have said:

1. We dont hold those kinds of views
2. Anyone who is intolerant of others is not welcome
3. We will not support this person or their projects financially due to their controversial views
4. We will be more careful about selecting sponsorships in the future

They didnt do any of those 4 (maybe the 4th?)

Maybe when they stop funneling money to fascists under the guise of big tent
