Simply put, they don't care.

I used to follow 37signals and they were very much not a typical tech company at the time.

They never did fremium data collector bullshit, they just sold basecamp and their other app subscriptions. They were an early saas take that for what you will.

In those days 37signals ran as what is now called a lifestyle startup and had only a few employees spread across the country who would meet up to work together as few weeks out of the year.

This is all from memory though, and I stopped following them and switched to node or ruby + Sinatra around the mid 2010s though, so I’m not sure what has happened since, but this blog post is batshit conservative bullshit. Guess it’s time to trash my old Rails books with the Harry Potter ones.

The dutch being racist - color me shocked

I don’t believe in forcing people to stay in situations that are harmful to them and their families.

I don’t believe in deporting people seeking refuge from bad conditions.

I also know that no country can hope to remain ethnically or culturally “pure”, especially in the age of rapid transit and instant worldwide communication and access to information.

If you actually believe some European country can round up and deport every “undesirable” human, you’re kidding yourself or a fucking Nazi.

Get over it and learn to live with people who are different from you.

Fuck mass migration, and fuck you for only seeing people as economic units. I'm fucking pissed.

And how much do they cost us? When people immigrate, they are a short-term cost to the country (as all migrants are). Question is: do they make us money in the long term.

I mean, you were a drain on your country's education money, but you're still allowed to live there, so why shouldn't they be able to?

And arguably, the fertility rate (which is around 1.43) of the Netherlands means that there wouldn't really be a need to continue to keep making houses. You can just wait for the population to decline! Like, factoring in the babies (who, uh, don't typically need their own houses), you would need to take in... Well, yeah, around 100k immigrants yearly to maintain a constant population (need to have that replacement rate be around 1.05ish), so it sounds like there isn't really a problem, but I also haven't really factored in that you might just be a racist.

Social constructs aren't illegitimate wtf? Just because sonething has no root in biology doesn't mean its not important for understanding history and existing systems.

Instead, you, as a native, purebred Dutch, you were born and immediately as a toddler you started to work and pay taxes, you wasn't a burden on the education and health system for 20 years.

Racist: "There's only one race: Human."

Also racist: "Get the FUCK out of MY country, immigrants. You're a drain on resources."

Every racist tries to pretend they're not racist, and yet utterly fails because they don't know how a normal person thinks, and thus can't be not racist for a second. It's pretty pathetic, but I guess failing all forms of education would do that to a person. Hey, next time, try putting more blame on yourself for your failings in life, and I think you'd finally start being right about something!

Also, you should have your parents try to get their money back, you obvious learned nothing. Link this post, so they can use it as evidence. Hopefully they're less racist than you, so that they can beat some sense into you while they're at it.
