> That the biggest tech forum, in the biggest tech city in the "freest country" in the world, can not even talk about their country's President and [...] Not everything has to be about politics. Also, this point doesn’t seem especially coherent to me. A country is generally considered tyrannical if one cannot criticize its leaders, not the other way around. Also, you don’t have to use the word “doublethink” when you just mean hypocrisy. It doesn’t help your point any. Also, tl;dr. (For context, I generally considered myself to be somewhat right wing. Though I’ve never actually voted yet. Haven’t had many opportunities, and didn’t feel great about any of the candidates.)

excellent doublethink. doublethink Master is in the house. > country is generally considered tyrannical if one cannot criticize its leaders, not the other way around either you can see it or you don't want to. we can't criticize the tech companies or their imposed bias, while they masquerade as tolerant progressives doing social good. you're more credible if you acknowledge the problem, when you don't you're duped by their doublethink too. your comment seems too dismissive to address the substantive points I make. it's interesting to think about why you feel you need to try being dismissive and focus on the word choice and not story. it's almost as if you hope to reframe it for people to focus on those and not substance. interesting. anyway if you cared about raising kids and their well-being, you'd think more what sort of world this creates for the next generation. I guess SV bubblethink is an apt term too. anyway, I don't think you know what I mean. You're comprehension's not entirely sound. and I suppose you don't know what you're talking about because it's not too long, it's not incoherent, and i meant doublethink. You do sound like you're trying to be my editor getting my point into more orderly form. So what do you think I'm saying in the simplest form?
