It sounds like the easiest way for ideas to be killed, then, is for a few abhorrent people to champion them.

- matkoniecz 3y agoIf I would become aware of some idea and not as result of someone trying to promote them by murdering people then I have no problem with reading it.

Invariably, people take the opportunity to publicly declare how opposed they are to various abhorrent people, indirectly making others aware of them and their ideas. This entire page of comments on HN is a good example. It's hilarious that people don't recognize that when they say "I will not read this" it is an advertisement.
