It seems many people are standing up to this compelled speech direction the far left is heading in.

  They seem to be fighting a losing battle against an unstoppable opponent - the comment you replied to has already been flagged off of hacker news.

    I noticed. So many posts are being flagged and downvoted for expressing a different opinion (not unpopular mind you, it's just in these circles that want to live in their own enclosure).

      Ah, but sometimes it rather seems they would be happier if their enclosure was the only one that was permitted to exist. Oh well. Life's too short to spew dissonance into someone else's echo chamber.

      I'm really glad I turned on flaged/show dead to see what falls below the fold. Some of the comments are non-constructive, but in some threads, you see things that are viable arguments that are just controversial. People are afraid to make well reasoned points for controversial topics because they could get called out. Professors are now afraid of their students. There almost seems to be a point system or status for being able to get a "bad person" to leave their position.

        It's quite bizarre how we got to this situation. It seems that some people who have nothing to contribute but to make instability and tear down what others have built will hide under whatever guise to justify their actions.
