- cassepipe 5y agoI see frequent complaining everywhere from right wingers that you can't say anything no more without ever saying what it is that it is that can't be expressed no more. Since I have seen right wing discourses and authoritarian m/order-first-and-above-all on the rise almost everywhere in the world, I wouldn't be too worried. Democratic and open societies are being pushed back constantly and checks to political powers removed. From my left leaning perspective, it seems to be part of a general strategy not to engage debate on some issues while still appearing as the ones who want debate. On HN, I have always seen ideas, even ones I am not really comfortable with being responded to and engaged.
