> The topic isn't political btw. Saying the President is compromised by Russia, along with much of the Republican party is just a fact. But HN sees that as political I guess, and things are removed. It's really unfortunate.
How could you realistically believe that is not a political comment?
- shiohime 8y agoYears of accepting an unquestionable narrative on either end of the spectrum tricks many people into thinking it is a fact as the perceived majority in their own social network bubbles push it as an undeniable truth as part of a multi-year long black/white narrative. Because it is a fact, it cannot be political :)
- yesenadam 8y agoThey seem to be using 'political' to mean false, propaganda, 'biased' or something. So then 'fact' and 'political' are non-overlapping categories. Like non-biased vs biased, opinion vs fact, lies vs reality. Not so surprising someone thinks the word means that - maybe that's how it's used in some circles...
- rubyfan 8y agoI understand how they used it. It’s just ironic saying that something isn’t political and then immediately saying that is hyper-political right after.
