Interesting that this is being downvoted considering "Thiel is a right-wing loon" and "Jacobin are a bunch of left-wing loons" are not mutually exclusive statements.
They're both wrong, just in different ways, and observing this is not "bothsidesism."
- observationist 11mo agoYeah, expect this to get flagged and vanish. This has nothing to do with anything even remotely interesting except to those who are emotionally invested with pwning their political or ideological opposition. At this level of discourse, they're all batshit bonkers.
- noelwelsh 11mo agoAs you observe, the original comment is wrong and as such it contributes nothing useful to the discussion.
- estebank 11mo agoDiscussing the messenger instead of the message is a common strategy to derail conversations away from the message.
- bananapub 11mo agoit's not interesting at all - the comment is very stupid (jacobin is not "whole journal on literal communism") as well as such lazy both-sidesism everyone is dumber for having read it. there's lots of stupid brigading on HN, but sometimes dumb comments get the downvotes they deserve.
