Just a few months ago you would be flagged on HN for mentioning inflation. Look up any threads on economy from March 2021 for example.
I want to know why. Why was the HN diaspora not allowing dissent with the mainstream narrative? Mentioning inflation here was so harshly ridiculed, I was surprised the massive U-turn from the tech community. I saw the entire media changing the tune. That means no one here is thinking from the bottom-up, it’s mostly servant to the mainstream media.
I’ve lost hope in people here. It used to be the wisdom of crowds. Now it’s the tyranny of the crowds.
I think I feel like leaving HN.
- bsjks 5y agoThe only opinions allowed to be had in hn are mainstream opinions and then those that are to the left of the mainstream.
- systemvoltage 5y agoA community that doesn’t allow dissent is dead for me. Respectful dissent is key to functioning society and I think HN reflects larger societal trends. Time to leave.
- fundad 5y agoRemember questioning economic growth in 2018 and 2019 and you were accused of speaking g a recession into existence? I do. I guess nobody is paid to fight against speaking an inflation spiral into existence
