Quick capsule hypothesis-- you tend toward thinking in a way that results in you having written the word "subhuman" on HN because an active pandemic tends to increase feelings of disgust in the affected population.
Did you consider that possibility?
Edit: wording
- throwaway22032 5y agoWhy look for a statistical hypothesis when I have the actual reasoning? I specifically want to exclude bureaucratic people from my life, it's not a new thing since coronavirus. I don't find the "pandemic" disgusting at all, to be honest, it's a low severity virus. I've had it, zero negative effect. I genuinely find it bizarre that people would have an issue with me using a potentially slightly offensive word to describe someone, but have no issue with the use of force to seperate people from their families. Like, you need to go right back to basics on your entire thought process there because there's been a complete logical breakdown.
