Why is every conservative leaning post ideological battle, but every couple days we have 20+ comments yelling about UBI, that somehow isn't ideological battle?
- dang 8y agoIt's inevitably a judgment call because there is overlap between political topics and good HN material. If someone is name-calling, yelling, or ranting, that's more likely ideological battle. If someone is substantively discussing UBI, that may be a bit of a tired theme, but it obviously isn't necessarily battle mode. > Why is every conservative leaning post It isn't. It just feels that way to you because of the hostile media effect (https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22hostile%20media%20effect%22&sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=false&page=0 https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22hostile%20media%20effect%22...). Everyone always feels like their favorite point of view is censored or suppressed and that the mods are against their side.
