You say that like the two platforms can't co-exist. I agree with what you are saying overall, the American democratic party has abandoned a lot of people, but with the transgender bathroom issue, that came up because these people were

Naw my guy, the failures of the American left are rooted in its inability to be a party of the working class. Every lost election sees the policy of the Democrats moving further and further to the right, leading to a platform that masquerad

Charity is most definitely a tool to reinforce the status quo. It's not that charity is bad, but it is less good. Here is a fantastic article on the topic: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2015/08/peter-singer-chari

Fellow commentors, please know that this is a common phrase used to denigrate black people receiving government assistance.

My Firefox instance has recently picked up the nasty habit of every time I move to a different tab, the web area is white save for a spinning grey loading icon in the center for a good half second. I've never seen anything like this be

Bold of you to refer to a Holocaust event when the banned accounts were filled with hate speech, harassment, and neonazi views

I don't know if you got the memo, but HN has a pretty strong voting block of alt-right (neo-nazi) sympathizers. Sorry about your comment getting downed to hell

How about a country where a president is elected after a long campaign of denigrating immigrants, women, and people of color? A country where a movement needs to exist that states that black lives matter. A country where people will defend

Although their views may be seen as rephrensible from my perspective I still see their value as contributors to this site considering most topics that they are contributing to discussion on won't bring up these issues

I never called for censoring groups, I was just outlining the problems faced here. If you read back up to parent, what I'm trying to get at is saying that despite HM harboring these regressive actors, at no point are they mobilizing or

Thanks for joining the conversation. I wanted to steer my comment a little bit more to the last point you made about how racism and misoginy, no matter how subtle, does create a toxic culture which silences or intimidates others, but saying

Does anybody know the background of this site? It appears to exist solely as free, relatively high quality hosting for studio releases. What are the studios getting out of this? Is this site running legal content? What is the revenue model?

This is a good way to acrue massive, immediate backlash on HN. Calling alt-righters out for being neonazis and reminding people that hate speech isn't free speech is apparently over the line for a subset of users here.

The Denny's blog reads as overly contrived to more "hip with the youth" audiences because it is constantly trying way too hard to jump on the latest trends in slang, internet grammar, memes, etc. The complete void of brand va

What? The alt right us built os racism, misogyny, and white nationalism. This isn't some sweeping generalization like "all Trump voters are Nazis" or something like that, the alt right is built on fascist, neo-nazi ideals.

In the future, please wind down the usage of soft euphemisms like "alt right" and instead refer to the group by its proper name- neo-nazis.
