- mgh2 7y agoI thought HN community was a data/evidence driven community no matter the POV. I am afraid I am mistaken for the 2nd time, liberal thinking is the norm, so something diff just gets flagged... sigh
- 1000units 7y agoThis is a specific brand of left-wing liberalism causing the trouble. I've always called myself a liberal and I'm tremendously disappointed that James Damore got fired from Google and basic survey articles get flagged off HN for involving "dangerous facts". It's hard to be a straightforward and honest person in these conditions, and it only encourages people to retreat into insular and subversive communities. Those complicit with left-wing censorship have an incomplete appreciation for the dangers of building a community that doesn't care about truth before hurting people's feelings or fumbling negative-sum political games they've accidentally participated in.
