The quality of discussions on HN seriously seems to have plummeted in the past two years. "Differing opinions than mine are evil. There will be no discussion."

The quality of discussions on HN seriously seems to have plummeted in the past two years.
"Differing opinions than mine are evil. There will be no discussion."
And it's the top comment too. Good Lord.
- soupfordummies 2y agoShame indeed. That whole idea of “my opinion isn’t up for debate because it’s actually not my opinion — it’s a fact. And therefore there will be no discussion…” It’s infiltrated so many other social spheres and I would argue it’s one of the top contributors to why were so polarized and divided today.
- arp242 2y agoIt's from an account that literally has a post complaining about "The Jews" ending with "Heil Hitler". I quote: "I cannot wait for the 30s again. I'm so glad I'm here and still young enough to be actively involved in what's to come. H[eil] H[itler]" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40768048 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40768048 So I think it's pretty clear who they mean with (((spiteful hegemonic elite)))...

- no_time 2y agoWhat discussion would you like to see? I feel like this article doesn't really belong here to begin with. I don't think this is a topic where people can be swayed by well articulated arguments unlike say, under post about the merits of Clojure. I can see myself giving Clojure a shot after reading a nice comment about it. But no amount of arguing is going to convince me to approve of a tax on a food item I like. The difference in beliefs just goes too deep.
