Anti-semitism also isn't inherently right wing. That doesn't mean the social phenomenon currently driving anti-semitism isn't right wing. The 4chan moderators are rarely enforcing the rules against racism, like anti-semitism,

I've reported 1000+ non-illegal posts for breaking the rules, at minimum, with very low (<5%) action/moderation rate on the extreme boards.

For what it's worth, you can openly be a white nationalist (or black nationalist, or any other kind of racial nationalist) on most social media, even here on Hacker News. However, you will be moderated if you say anything extremely vio

I think the accusation that 4chan is a far-right message board is accurate, and I believe that accusation can be supported by showing that 4chan's explicitly stated rules can be used to plausibly deny this accusation, while demonstrati

Bitcoin is interesting, and useful, but it isn't a serious replacement for fiat currency. It certainly isn't an investment either, buying it and hoping it increases in value is just Beanie Babies 2.0 but less cute. I'm happy

Turns out that Afghans as a whole don't believe much in traditional Liberalism! Whereas it seems like Ukrainians do.

I've had GPT-4 tell me it's not sure of something, or that it doesn't have information on a topic.

Oh this brings back so many good memories. The Britain graveyard was where shit went DOWN during these non-persistence windows. I remember there was a large Japanese player base on my server and there were Japan vs USA fights every day.

I also couldn't recommend this higher. If you are designing a new application, read these docs . You will almost certainly learn something deeply useful that you'll carry me with you for the rest of your career.

Are there any alternative tax mechanisms to income taxes that you'd support? I've heard many times that VAT or consumption taxes are far more efficient than income taxes. Seems like they're also easier to enforce (except in r

Is your claim that the US is not a functioning democracy? Would you be willing to offer definitions of what you mean by "functioning" and "democracy"? Many people use the word "democracy" when they mean "d

I think your first sentence is strictly false. For easy counterexamples, the US changed its policy towards both Cuba and Venezuela from cooperation/reproachment to outright hostility if not regime change between the Obama and Trump adm

The original claim is that the US acts out of national interest only , and doesn't take actions based on morality or other values that individuals have. To oppose that claim, one simply needs to show that individual values have at lea

In that analogy, what do you think would happen to Idaho if the Idaho government tried to refuse the feds from arresting the terrorists responsible?

Do you think the US was not justified in destroying the terror camps that Al-Qaeda was operating in Afghanistan after the US was attacked on 9/11?

I'm curious about your opinions here. Do you think the war in Afghanistan was unjustified from the very beginning?
