Even allowing this link on this website is pretty close to hate speech.
- PostOnce 7y agoI take it we're hating on the man and not the content of any particular podcast? I've listened to the podcast repeatedly (Dan Carlin was a guest, that's how I found it), there's nothing alt-right about it, just right/conservative on issues of guns/hunting/gender, but not on issues of finance, for example. I guess "pro speech" is "alt right now". The guests are wide-ranging; some right, some alt-right, some far left.
- s_Hogg 7y agoI dunno he had an episode with Alex Jones that basically didn't press him on anything and gave him a really soft ride. I think that's the sort of thing people are alluding to when they call him a breadcrumb-dropper. Just because the guests aren't uniformly Alex Jones and co doesn't mean that that claim can't be true, in my opinion.
- cco 7y agoIf you can watch that episode and not be laughing your head off you are taking life far too seriously.
- anbop 7y agoYeah, I don’t use /s tags, because I like to use the downvote count as a sort of inverse metric.
- howNearHowFar 7y agoI almost considered not posting this, knowing the the mobile ISP ban will default this to flagged/dead, but someone will probably still read it. I used to think HN carried informed, objective opinions of the world it collectively inhabited. Between this and today's 60+ reply 8ch.net warrant thread, I no longer see it in such a light. 5 years ago, HN wouldn't foment bile with obnoxious absurdities, downvote and hellban frivolously. Now it's a different story, and it's not The Internet that has changed. Things haven't changed that much.
