Well I've seen Silicon Valley folks in this very forum dismiss the enlightenment era/liberal principles of free speech, so I think it's widespread enough to feel it in regular life, especially if you're young in America's larger urban areas.
- Throw_Away_8463 7y agoFrom what I have seen, Hacker News tends to defend free speech very much. Are you sure that it isn't simply the case that you remember (rare) instances that oppose your opinion much better than those that agree with you? Everyone seems to think that Hacker News (and other platforms) is on the other side of the political spectrum than they themselves. To that extent do they dismiss it? In my country, Holocaust denial is illegal, but I think identity politics is still less widespread here.
