I'm not gonna gather 'evidence' for or against what some guy who happens to maintain a text editor I use thinks about the issues of the day. It's just creepy behavior, and a huge violation of personal boundaries. Why do you think this is an acceptable thing to do? Go outside.

Regardless, the material you've posted doesn't indicate much about him to me beyond that we have political differences, which is okay. That's literally fine. It's definitely not enough to condemn someone as a Nazi sympathizer.

Before telling someone to "go outside," it's a good idea to make sure that you haven't written an entire paragraph filled with personal attacks using fresh throwaway accounts.

The things I listed are very public, each of which has raised very public concern. I didn't have to "collect" anything because the Neovim team already had a reputation for such things.

You may think the issues being raised are just "political differences." Enough people clearly see it differently. For many, the things DHH, Yarvin, and Thiel stand for crosses many lines. White supremacy, mass surveillance, or the destruction of democratic institutions aren't "fine." There's nothing more "creepier" than the ethnic targeting of people that Palantir enables.
