> imagine someone posted a podcast of an ideologue, in a place where you feel safe expressing your opinion, as the detractors of your Joe Rogan piece felt safe where you posted him. Are you trying to get me to say my reaction would be the same? It just wouldn’t be. I would at least listen to the episode before just commenting. Also where exactly is this place? My small group of friends? My partner? Anonymously online? That’s basically it. Because it’s definitely not work or social media. > Certainly with a PhD you can't actually have been surprised by the reaction to your post. What's the point of your performative surprise? Someone asked me for some weird stories from San Francisco, so I shared some. > Is it that you don't feel safe expressing your opinion in certain places Yeah that’s pretty much the point of my stories and the topic of this HN thread. > You can't change the world for the better by trolling. Yea this conversation is over then. If you think I’m just trying to troll people there’s really no point for me to talk to you.

Go to Thailand, insult the king, and post to HN about how surprised you are that you got caned like a bad boy. I don't think you were trying to troll people. I meant to draw a comparison between your aw-shucks surprise at a negative reaction with the very similar attitude of trolls. In my opinion its a cover for the belief that one's opinions are sacrosanct and anyone rejecting them is inferior. I am sorry for implying you were intentionally trolling. Saying "this conversation is over" is a very rude thing to say.

  Ok you don’t think I was trolling. That’s good. Thanks. > Go to Thailand, insult the king, and post to HN about how surprised you are that you got caned like a bad boy. Yes, I’m saying it’s sucks it’s like that, here are some examples.

    The guy you're replying to appears to be a perfect example of a woke idiot. The whole idea that Joe Rogan is extremely controversial is incredibly stupid. The guy has an interesting, super popular podcast where he talks to super interesting people in a very chill, entertaining way. How terrible. This idea that you have to ban anyone that ever said anything you disagreed with is extremely illiberal and sounds like something from a totalitarian society. I had a guy at work once who told me that he was a fan of HBO's Silicone Valley until he heard of that email one of its writers sent. After that he stopped watching the show. I asked him if he does constant research to find out if a person who produces any entertainment he likes said or did something bad in his personal life & then stops watching or listening any of the content they had something to do with. He said yes.

      That’s hilarious. Do you think he actually does that, or was he just virtue signalling?

> weird stories from San Francisco This sounds like it should be a TV show, perhaps along the lines of “drunk history”
