> I don't see why the HN community has to honor/uphold/tolerate/defend Those are all very different words. And you do the same below when you mix up "tolerate" and "legitimize". Are you trying to confuse the debate? To be clear, I'm solely arguing for tolerate and not censor, not any of the other things. And wow, looking at that comment that was flagged, I can't comprehend how you would believe it's so repugnant that it's worthy of censoring and suppression. > Soros is often viewed as a liberal mouthpiece propagandist He's the target of unfortunate conspiracy theories, but I want to get this straight: you don't believe Soros is a liberal propagandist? Do you also not think the Koch brothers are libertarian propagandists? Of course, they all are! But yeah, I strongly disagree. I think censoring people who disagree, combined with the power and income inequality that was created by the plutocrats, will together kill our country. I don't want to give away my identity since I'm aware there are lots of people who would try to get me fired for disagreeing with them, but I've seen ethnic conflict up close and see every sign that the US is heading in that direction.

>Those are all very different words. Not really. You are arguing that misinformation needs to have a place on this platform, and have a chance to be heard. Again an outright misinformed post, that couldn't even back itself up, needs to be here. You are defending and legitimizing it with this point of view. Much evil has been done in the world because people "tolerated" things and just let injustice slide. >you don't believe Soros is a liberal propagandist Yes, but practically everyone is a propagandist, and has bias. Though he has more sway because money speaks. >I've seen ethnic conflict up close and see every sign that the US is heading in that direction. Where have you been for the last 250 years? The US was founded on genocide and slavery. Ethnic conflict has been here forever.
