It's always good to see such statements with a poisoned well from the start. I have no investment in any of this, but this looks really like the authors of this are the root issue here.

And I also agree with - what they call - the opponent, that politics should not be forced upon an open-source project. Proclaiming these are fascists, identitarians or otherwise using the Nazi stamp doesn't really help the author's position either.

I'd say this document doesn't belong on HN.

The document isn't the one saying "fascists", it's criticizing the people throwing that term around.

I must assume that the quotes presented are the best they have on them and the word fascist comes from the author(s). It's just very involved and the author(s) look therefore very bad to be honest.

why must you assume that? there are examples linked, like here https://hachyderm.io/@leftpaddotpy/112248186696362113

remember the so-called """fascists""" being denounced here are just a defense contractor, and by extension anyone who doesn't have a problem with them funding a nix conference.
