I never made any claims regarding that "source" - I just read that recently while researching Trotsky. I posted it here to get feedback, that's all.
- boomboomsubban 10y agoYou posted the source and then said "this is a fact and gets hidden because it could cause antisemitism." The source is antisemitic garbage, it doesn't even try to establish a connection between Schiff and Trotsky before blaming Schiff for all the deaths of the revolution.
- nikolay 10y agoI disagree. Anti-Semitism accusations and PC, in general, are the way to sweep things under the rug. Neither I or anybody else is suggesting that these things were done, if they were, because they were Jewish people. There are things presented as facts in that post and I am interested to know which ones are false and which are not. How hard is to understand this?!
- boomboomsubban 10y agoVery, as I said you presented it as a source for your very ridiculous claim. Expecting other's to check it is silly, you're unwilling, and the source gives you no reason to believe it's true.
- nikolay 10y agoNo, it is not ridiculous at all. And as you can tell, many already checked it. If you don't like all this or disagree, then there are plenty of other threads you can find joy! You get too emotional because you're prejudiced. I am surprised how many hacker wannabes actually cannot hack their sorry brains and open themselves to ideas. By definition, hackers typically rebel against the status quo and don't become their most loyal supporters!
- boomboomsubban 10y agoTrotsky was a loyal agent of myself until his death. That's got as much proof as the page you linked. There's a difference between being open to ideas and believing any shit someone says.
- tptacek 10y agoEven if this wasn't a spirited defense of anti-Semitism, the tone of this comment is totally inappropriate for HN.
- nikolay 10y agoYou cannot handle "sorry brains"? But what if I feel sorry for brains that lack self-control and which cannot adapt to the world that is not dominated by their likes? The same status quo, which they consider as some unseen accomplishment of the humanity, is actually more repressive and not much different than the Communist regimes some of us know intimately. Yeah, let's not bring these things up to a discussion, sugarcoat and falsify history, so that the poor billionaires don't get attacked by anti-Semites! Give me a break, please! I personally expect a lot more from this community, which has turned into an oversensitive version of Reddit!
- tptacek 10y agoI can handle a lot of things. The HN community, however, cannot handle uncivil comments: they're toxic and force the community into spiraling incivility, producing enmity that keeps people from being able to discuss other topics after laying in to each other over politics. If you want to make a volatile political argument on HN, the onus is on you to do so with extraordinary calmness and careful writing. Here, you're doing the opposite.
