Real shame this got flagged so quickly, too. This is prime HN material.

  this is prime material for HN to flag...
  • datsci_est_2015 7mo ago
    Is there an HN but for anarchists? Or maybe just anti-authoritarians?
    • glitchc 7mo ago
      The Atlantic? I kid. I really mean Al-Jazeera.
      • thomassmith65 7mo ago
        There are no anti-authoritarian news outlets in Qatar, for obvious reasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Qatar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Qatar
        • glitchc 7mo ago
          Of course, that's because Qatar actually is an authoritarian state, unlike the US. It hasn't stopped Al-Jazeera from challenging the authority of other nations or claiming that they are authoritarian. Pot, meet kettle and all that.

        I think The Atlantic is actually pretty close to the mark. Committed, hardcore ideologues frequently turn out to be authoritarian, even if they refer to themselves as "anarchists". Most of these ideologues are busy administering ever more stringent purity tests to anyone they encounter lest someone in their vicinity commit wrongthink. There is a name for people who build coalitions through compromise and diplomacy, and work towards pragmatic solutions to actual problems — they're called "centrists".
        • datsci_est_2015 7mo ago
          During times of great strife, centrists are also known as “enablers”. Fence sitting only works until you realize that the Overton window has shifted a field away from the fence on which you’ve been sitting.

      There's 4chan but for leftists (leftypol) and there's reddit for leftists (lemmy or raddle). I'd also argue Mastodon is kind of twitter for leftists/hackers
      • datsci_est_2015 7mo ago
        Yeah but I want the tech slant as well. I guess something like Chaos Computer Club? Though I don’t know too much about them.
        • culi 7mo ago
          Besides, leftypol, the other 3 I mentioned already have a heavy bias towards techies. Plenty of tech+privacy related sub communities on raddle/lemmy and lots of tech-related mastodon instances

    If we can't flag it, make it disappear from the front page. Collectively done via Israel's RiseApp and similar.

  Isn't this a tech news site?
  • estearum 7mo ago
    Did you click on the link? It's a pretty amazing technological investigation. Even just technologically it's more interesting than 90% of the stuff posted here.

    Oh no, we shouldn't talk about war crimes because the iPhone I'm tapping my words into has some tech from the nation committing those war crimes. I should be more THANKFUL!

  No, its not. And I gladly flagged it. Redirects set to: talk.politics.misc.

    > No, it’s not. And I gladly flagged it. > Redirects set to: talk.politics.misc. So you don’t think anyone should discuss topics that touch on politics, including this war, on HN?
