I think you missed the first part of my comment though.
Being “better” (which is subjective) doesn’t mean any other positions are automatically intolerant or “fascist.”
I think people are grossly misunderstanding his intent and framing it in the worst possible interpretation.
DHH never said he wanted anyone dead. He never said to shoot anyone. He never said anyone shouldn’t exist.
It’s natural to not want to become a minority yourself. We know how badly they are treated. People often have natural preferences for their own culture and people, and they can still want those things while also acknowledging other people can exist… but not everyone agrees on the most appropriate balance.
Mass immigration undeniably brings with it certain logistical, economical and cultural aspects to the table.
I have no problem with any specific people immigrating to my country, but that doesn’t mean I want all my local culture, friends and favorite restaurants to be replaced with everything else from another country. You need balance.
Even if someone faced with that same situation said something tone-deaf like “these <insert race> need to go home”… that doesn’t necessarily mean they want them dead or that they think they don’t have a right to exist, or even that they are racist. They might just not like change in general, or like I mentioned, they feel like part of their (local) culture is disappearing. They just might not have the best way of articulating that.
And similarly, I think we should not be so quick to judge their intent without actually talking to them about it.
