I can't stand places filled with people preoccupied with things like tolerance and inclusion. Not because I think those things are bad, but because those people always turn out to be insufferable and often insane. Worrying about fascism in this context is extremely ironic given how things are playing out in the west in the name of tolerance and inclusion. The future is not looking very bright. By the way, I realize that just by expressing this opinion I am now a nazi.

There's nothing more alienating than the allegedly "inclusive" environments. These are the places where I'm accused of racism (against myself?) or being a Russian. It isn't xenophobic when they do it. In the next breath they'll celebrate the noblesse oblige of their guilt. These are the places where individual agency is dismissed. My own experience of pulling myself up by my bootstraps is debunked as a fiction. Is there anything more alienating than being told you do not exist? Yes, I cannot wait to use my real name in these places. What a great opportunity for further harassment from these "inclusive" and "tolerant" people who cannot tolerate dissent or experiences which run counter to their "compassionate" ideologies. Up is down. Liberal is restrictive. Inclusive is alienating. https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-silicon-valley/the-lonely-work-of-moderating-hacker-news#:~:text=He%20and%20Gackle%20have%20discussed%20diversifying%20their%20team%2C%20and%20adding%20a%20third%20moderator%20who%20is%20non%2Dwhite%2C%20non%2Dmale%2C%20and%2C%20Bell%20joked%2C%20%E2%80%9Cnon%2Dbalding.%E2%80%9D%20Gackle%20clarified%3A%20%E2%80%9CWe%27ve%20talked%20to%20each%20other%20about%20that.%20But%20we%20wouldn%27t%20make%20it%20a%20requirement.%E2%80%9D https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-silicon-valley/th...
