People are indoctrinated to react aggressively to any perceived right-wing advocacy.
- mrfusion 6y agoIt’s sad all this got partisan.
- CryptoPunk 6y agoYou see this kind of partisanship a lot on Reddit. It's always disappointing seeing how much of it now gets to HN.

- CryptoPunk 6y agoEven when I point out how people are dying due to lockdowns, you suspect I'm espousing a right-wing worldview that is motivated by my own interests, since a perception has been created that opposing the establishment's support for lockdowns is a right wing position, and as a corollary, that its promotion is self-serving. And this reflexive hostility to the perceived right is driven just as much by ego as any other.
