You think critics of Thiel are the techno fascists?
- mcmcmc 5mo agoI think they are saying they want to track the ideas of people who support techno-fascists like Thiel and who don't think that ideology is insane, and that it can be difficult to find them online
- gryn 5mo agohe's not talking about his critics but his supporters & people like Thiel.
- fc417fc802 5mo agoIndeed you read that backwards. He's saying that Thiel supporters and apologists can be found on HN more easily than on other sites. I'm not sure what to make of that claim though - he doesn't (or rather the events related to his companies that make it to the front page don't) seem very popular around here to me.
- ishouldstayaway 5mo ago> he doesn't (or rather the events related to his companies that make it to the front page don't) seem very popular around here to me. This is a more recent turn, and one that happened later than in other online social spaces. Claiming that HN leans in a direction friendly to tech VC is hardly controversial.
- fc417fc802 5mo agoSeems like you're conflating "friendly to tech VC" and "Thiel supporter" there. Certainly there will be some overlap but they're different things. Neither is not jumping on the latest popular bandwagon a show of support in the opposite direction.
- lovich 5mo agoToo late to edit, but based on the reply’s I got I didn’t interpret the comment incorrectly. Seems like it’s time for bed then.
- technothrasher 5mo agoScarecrowbob misused a colon, which I think is why you interpreted their post the way you did. But from the other context of the post, they clearly think the opposite.
