"Just asking questions" is literally a far right meme (if you're wondering, it's part of a tactic called "sealioning" using leading questions to spread talking points and derail conversations). I'm not saying you're a card-carrying member of the German National Socialist Workers Party, but whether intentionally or (more likely) accidentally, you're hitting a lot of the same chords and you might want to reflect on where you picked them up and why. To be clear: HN is fairly accepting of far-right accounts as long as they avoid being explicitly so (and even then they're more likely to be downvoted than actually banned). The person who made the "joke" about Anne Frank has a history of making easy-to-miss remarks that just happen to fit in a certain political bend (e.g. complaining about "exotic sexual identities" or stating everything got worse because of something unspecified happening in the 1960s, a decade defined by civil rights victories). Even if HN's moderation policy was to actually ban far right individuals they probably would have a hard time justifying this one even if the aggregate of these comments paints an obvious picture for anyone familiar with the tropes. It's always just jokes. The playbook literally involves telling "jokes" until you stop laughing (i.e. when it stops being a joke or as they say "when the joke really lands"). Far right communities have been at this for well over a decade at this point (though the defining moment was most definitely the GamerGate harassment campaign that populated "red pilling" in their target demographic). "Edgy jokes" are the gateway. You are not immune to propaganda.
