It's wild to me how much of right wing rhetoric on Hacker News is portrayed as "simply how it is" and "activist logic" is portrayed as always wrong, a failure, and counter-productive.
None of the situations described in the parent has ever happened. Nor do any of the scientific studies agree with the positions above that are implied to be facts. However, because it is written dispassionately (even condescendingly) the flaws will be ignored and the sentiment applauded.
- fleddr 4y agoEven wilder to call it right-wing, given that I'm a moderate leftist in a social democracy (western Europe). Makes me pretty close to a "commie". Pushing back against government overreach is now also right-wing, as is defending free speech. But hey, hard to argue with California logic where the top 1% earners of the world working for harmful neoliberal companies spend their time telling themselves they are victims and oppressed, and doing the "right" thing.
- krainboltgreene 4y agoI said you were spouting right-wing rhetoric, not that you were right wing. You can be a useful fool. It is not shocking to me that you can't understand the difference while talking about the things you talk about.
