- hedora 4mo agoKMFDMs latest album cover is spot on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_(KMFDM_album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_(KMFDM_album) (Judging from the lyrics, there’s a reason they went with orange.)
- homeonthemtn 4mo agoOmg I didn't realize they still put out albums
- hammock 4mo agoIs this meant to be an anti-Jewish remark? Or just eugenicist more generally
- toasty228 4mo agoMostly anti parasitic, all shared common traits between all the sociopaths in charge of big companies/institutions not my problem, it's a good line of defense I admit, but I fear it works less and less since people see through the bs more easily these days.
- cmrdporcupine 4mo agoYou may want to pick a broader range of samples for your examples then, since both Zuck and Kushner being Jewish and you choosing those two names specifically... Concerns can be raised.
- toasty228 4mo agoSure: Altman, Dario, Karp, oh... wait... Well at least we have Musk and Thiel

- hereweare26 4mo agoThis kind of talk used to be a lot more common in our grandparents' time. It's sad to see the best and the brightest of our times going back to it.
- toasty228 4mo agolmao, every. single. time. Criticise a jewish person for something completely unrelated: infinite amount of green accounts created on the spot come in and start vaguely referencing "ThE DaRkEsT TiMe In HiStOrY".
- jazzyjackson 4mo agoOP did say “his kind”, leaving it as an exercise for the reader
- roysting 4mo agoSo I talk about vile evil people doing destructive, greedy, and rapacious things and you immediately think "he's talking about the jews!"? Why is that? Have you ever thought about why you do that?
- jazzyjackson 4mo agoYou’re hilarious
- cmrdporcupine 4mo ago<500 karma account throwing stones in glass houses. I raised concerns about your framing, and I think you'll find I'm not a green account. By far. Please don't drag this forum down. With my own opinions... I wouldn't complain about "Class War" language, but your posts concern me.
- toasty228 4mo ago> <500 karma account throwing stones in glass houses. If my 15k karma account wasn't banned I'd happily use it. I rotate new accounts every few months now, it's much more convenient

- dang 4mo agoIf you've read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, this is obviously not what this site is for, so please don't post like this.
- roysting 4mo agoI get that the guidelines are just about the most subjective black hole you could drive a quasar through, but what exactly is the offending aspect? Is it the “Epstein island 2.0”? I mean, who believes that these types of people will not be trying to rebuild that same kind of capacity in some other place by some other, albeit similar means? If I were tasked to do it, the Albanian coast would be a top choice for me too; it has near perfect conditions for such an enterprise. Don’t we discuss viruses, exploits, dark patterns, scammers and fraud when it comes to other things? Why would it be objectionable to call out the top civilization hackers and scammers and exploits? Everyone can talk about meaningless scams and exploits. Is there any bigger, worse exploit and hack than hacking a whole country and civilization and extracting trillions in sum?
- dang 4mo agoHN's guidelines are subjective in the sense that they involve interpretation and no two people (including tomhow and me) interpret them identically. But they're not arbitrary, in the sense that every moderation call is just a whim. Most aren't borderline calls, and the one here certainly wasn't. In this case it's the use of denunciatory rhetoric that fries any element of curious conversation that the comment might have contained. The combination of snark and fulminatey pejoratives is the kind of internet discourse which, however popular, is destructive of what we're trying for on HN. (Secondarily, there's also something about the combination of "His kind [...] alien [...] paraistic [...] depraved" which has overtones that I can understand why other commenters were objecting to. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but such language does have history and the imprints of that history are still active.) There's a phrase in your reply here which I think touches on the core and that's "calling out". Denunciatory rage and the shaming process are natural social responses to bad behavior. But it's really not what HN is for, and this isn't just a matter of taste because we can't have both forms of discourse at the same time. Past explanations about this in case anyone is interested: calling out - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20%22calling%20out%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... shaming: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20shaming&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... This is in no way to deny or defend bad behavior of course. It's just trying to preserve HN for its intended purpose, which is fragile and forever in danger of getting trampled by the much stronger default forces on the internet. We're simply trying to stave that off for as long as we can (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=stave%20off%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), and since it's more or less a battle with entropy, it takes a lot of energy.
