- richardhod 7y agoOnly partly true, I'm afraid. This source is hard right. I don't want to go down a non HN- rabbit hole bc we're here to talk mostly about tech and information related things, but in extreme cases it's worth noting. I had also once thought Soiked was left wing, its editorial bears no resemblance to the old Left whatsoever. You might call it alt-right-libertarian, and funded by the notorious Koch brothers. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Spiked https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Spiked
- jajag 7y agoIt's confrontational, but it certainly isn't alt- or hard-right. I mean, this is its current lead article: https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/05/14/why-it-was-right-to-platform-ben-shapiro/ https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/05/14/why-it-was-right-to... - and the article is not kind to Ben Shapiro.
