It is an uncomfortable trend.
I’ve largely ducked out of these conversations on HN anymore, trying to explain why basic free speech is important, and hitting resistance, shows the obvious failings (success?) of public modern schooling.
We have a new young generation that seems to unquestionably look to government for all answers, and demand to be silenced by biased censors and it’s shocking.
- m0zg 8y ago>> We have a new young generation that seems to >> unquestionably look to government for all answers This is especially weird given that the very same people consider the current US government to be incompetent (for the record, I disagree, based on the results in a number of areas). The very same people seem to suggest that we abolish the 1st and 2nd amendment, and in the same breath suggest that "our democracy is dying" and we're on our way to "totalitarianism". How these things can be suggested at the same time, I don't know. Seems like utter and complete lack of critical thinking skills to me.
