HN is a weird place. Feels like the loudest political voices are alt-right-adjacent nowadays. Just yesterday I had to wade through Q-level talk about Balenciaga being the true villain in society (one user literally said the Latin translation of Balenciaga had occult meanings). It's just so surprising to see Tucker Carlson's outrage machine consistently make rounds in HM comments. I guess he recovered from that Jon Stewart skewering just fine amongst the HN crowd?

I think you're confusing Hacker News for 4chan.

  I wish that were the case. But I had multiple users shilling "pedophile elite" conspiracy theory at me yesterday.

    If multiple users were telling you the same kinds of things on a platform that you typically expect to be reasonable, is it possible that your expectations of the platform were correct after all and they were being more reasonable than you give them credit for? Sometimes coherent theories can seem bizarre or nonsensical if you're not familiar with their core premises

> Q-level talk It's disappointing how there's real stunningly outrageous stuff and you just brush it away under the umbrella of Q. Epstein was revealed to have an ungodly long list of elites from around the world visiting his island full of minors that were sexually abused and trafficked. Hollywood openly cooperated with Weinstein for decades only for it to all explode. All were liberal, metropolitan social circles that openly admit everyone knew what was going on, it was all an open secret, yadda yadda. Then they do this theatrical routine about starting a movement to shift the culture to be better, even though they were all complicit with the evil for decades. Now Balenciaga does this photo shoot where children are posed with all these overt satanic references, not to mention a freaking legal document from a child pornography case? This isn't some harebrained conspiracy theory, it's obvious evil.

  Pedophiles are bad period they’re a problem everywhere and it’s weird to try and make it partisan.

    It's not a partisan idea that democrats control every sphere of culture.

      > every sphere of culture. Please clarify because absolutelutes are too easily disproven.
