Is HN is the institution? As a recruitment board for YC, of course it is. Are there openly fascist posters in most relevant threads? Definitely. Would I describe the average community member as such? No.

To those sympathetic to these political posts..upvoting or posting calm or mildly supportive comments like the above (BEFORE THE FLAG happens) might help to prevent flags.. The title of this one is too inflammatory imho EDIT: The comments to this one seemed alright but still got flagged https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44601096 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44601096

Too bad it didn't stick (Strictly speaking, that'd be "neo-corp", like "neo-lib", but with more of a Futurist flavor. You could even say cyberpunk :) https://davidgraeber.org/videos/donald-trump-is-a-classic-corporatist-2/ https://davidgraeber.org/videos/donald-trump-is-a-classic-co... https://youtu.be/yCQDq1oG0vA https://youtu.be/yCQDq1oG0vA
