I find authoritarians shushing curiosity to be tedious.
I do appreciate the variety to which people like yourself justify bad behavior, though:
You’re not an anti-intellectual silencing debate on a matter of public health — you’re stopping “tedious” conversation that “bores” you.
I think this is a great example of the banality of evil — and has certainly made me lose a lot of respect for you.

- zmgsabst 4y agoYep — I get it. You’re going to treat it as a joke that during an emergency people like yourself were authoritarians who silenced public debate — leading us to enacting QALY negative public health measures, killing hundreds of thousands. You do that because you can’t admit what that reality implies about who you are — so you’ll cling to your pretense. Like a Chinese citizen saying it’s “tedious” to discuss the plight of Uyghurs. And you’ll walk away high on your own feigned moral virtue. That’s the banality of evil — as you’ve so wonderfully demonstrated.
- dang 4y agoCan you please stop posting flamewar comments? This kind of thing isn't allowed here for what should be obvious reasons if you'll read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. I realize it's frustrating to hold a minority/contrarian view but if accounts break the rules this badly, we end up having no choice but to ban them.
