Agreed - it seems like HN got brigaded here.
I very much value a diverse discussion forum, and am happy to see “alt-right” viewpoints in this thread, but it’s very unusual to see those viewpoints expressed in a flood of low-effort posts. Something’s afoot.
- machina_ex_deus 4y agoThere's not much effort needed. The comparison to Canada is obvious. This is completely new tactic for dictatorships. What else do you expect to be said? At this point you either contort in various ways to fit the narrative or you stand by a consistent set of values. To me personally, hypocrisy is the worst ideological crime. It's always possible to construct a narrative, the harder thing to do is realizing when your values collide with your 'interest' or political side and standing by your values instead of the easy choice of picking the narrative. If your moral values only ever happened to be on your side, you don't have values, you have excuses.
