        Fair enough, but I wish the blatantly racist comments got the same response. Maybe they get flagged more quickly.

        I hear you! If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. We don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here...not even close. You can always help by flagging it or emailing hn@ycombinator.com about egregious cases.

      You're right, it doesn't take long. That's the sad part. The evidence is in them echoing just one single cherry-picked policy, in a misrepresented way, while conveniently ignoring all their other far more numerous left-leaning policies.

        The good policies don't make up for the really bad one. In this context it doesn't matter if it's ""cherry-picked"". Other than fuss about how to define left and right I haven't seen anything that qualifies as misrepresentation. "Echoing" looks the same as "agreeeing" so that's hardly evidence of people failing to do enough research.

        The "really bad one" is a policy calling for what in the Swedish debate is now termed "re-migration" of families who sustain themselves and their children, in their entirety, solely on crime and fraudulent extractions from the welfare system, while actively rejecting integration, education and employment. The misrepresentation is that the policy is strictly about non-white residents, all of them, on the sole merit of race and ethnicity.

I don’t know anything about this tbh I was just answering your general question through my own lens. When someone does something newsworthy and I read about, I adjust, depending on my ethics and whether they align. In general I don’t seem to align with the far right since that mostly seems to be about Supremacy and exclusion and hate. I don’t have interest in those things so I move my support away from things like that.
