- miragle 8y agoThat's probably because they're not posting abhorrent content.
- fortythirteen 8y agoYeah, because 100 million murdered by communists in the 20th century wasn't enough, amirite?
- kadenshep 8y agohttps://www.quora.com/What-has-killed-more-people-communism-or-capitalism https://www.quora.com/What-has-killed-more-people-communism-... The worst thing about the talking point you're spouting off is how unaware you've willingly chosen to be about this topic.
- dang 8y agoPlease don't use HN for ideological flamewar. It's off topic here.
- fortythirteen 8y agoI doubt you would feel that way if I responded to someone condoning fascism.
- miragle 8y agoI have a sneaking suspicion that you're itching to do just that
- fortythirteen 8y agoIf I was, I would have worded my initial, base level, comment differently. Note that I'm not the one bringing up right or left and I'm specifically complaining about websites that have a far right user base. So, I think you should question if you're projecting here.
- miragle 8y agoHow did you jump from talking about left politics on the internet to literally murdering 100 million people?
- fortythirteen 8y agoBecause that's what has happened at the extreme left (Stalin, Mao). If someone ignores the evils of fascism, would you not inform them?
- miragle 8y agoWhen somebody makes a post about purchasing something using money, do you wade into the discussion to call them slavers and murderers because of capitalism's unsavory history?
- fortythirteen 8y agoProjection. You’re the one who stated that left wing extremists “aren’t posting anything abhorrent” on social media. Forgive me if I consider “death to capitalists” abhorrent.
- dang 8y agoWould you please also not use HN for ideological flamewar? It's what we're most trying to avoid here, really. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- kadenshep 8y agoProbably because left+ extremists don't inherently have dehumanization and genocide as part of their political and moral beliefs. You can disagree with economic allocation theories, but it's really not appropriate to compare the two.
- fortythirteen 8y agoYes, the only thing they have going for them is that the initial factor they use for putting someone against the wall is economic and not race based. They still put innocent people against the wall. How is this not clear to you?
- kadenshep 8y ago>How is this not clear to you? Because it's objectively a straw man and isn't based on anything except your ideological preconceptions? >the initial factor they use for putting someone against the wall is economic and not race based. * Huge citation needed
- fortythirteen 8y agoCitation? Lenin, Stalin, Mao, three generations of Kims, Guevara, Castro, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Min. All murdered massive amounts of their own people for not being communist.
