Most people join in the middle of the swing perhaps, then get dragged too far to one extreme.

Who are these "woke" people? We don't see them in comments here on HN to defend themselves. Are they strawmen, loud groups and living in their own bubble? I'd ask the same for far-right too. Are these platforming issues?

Ideology is logic without actual thinking, similar to belief systems and religion. Faith is realizing existence.

Faith is a powerful force to drive you along, even among uncertainty and strife. Beliefs are a house of cards.

Do you engage all the BS at work, or do you let it burn itself? Whatever arguments you have need time to become more constructive, neutral and obvious. Arguments back and forth is fruitless and depleting.

This is at the bottom for the simple reason people cannot do this effectively. Getting over mental blocks like these may require decades of maturity, if ever achieved at all. Getting to care about others, is rarely part of anyone's dev

There were random interviews in the capitol saying all these weird stuff from the internet, and people in US often know someone who'd be convinced this way. So its not like this crazy stuff is hard to prove is prevalent (pun intended)

That would maybe require a culture of trust, or very strong leaders. In some places, weak leaders even rose to the occasion, though may melt afterwards.

That's politics, not science. Politicians absolutely have to play the game with China, or they lose face, and are themselves cornered into extreme measures. Playing the game badly could have worse reprecusions for all of us. Political

What could you expect, it was a new virus strain not previously seen. There were mixed and missing reports from China, and requirement to act fast on something unknown not previously seen before. Leadership didn't melt everywhere thoug

Who are "people like Faucci", successful people regarded as experts? We do have representatives that are meant to have final say, but they went AWOL mentally.

In beginning and middle of pandemic energy is better spent on solving the crisis first. Truth is for mortals like a set of possibilities. Here media presented both possibilities and reported usual facts and opinions. As we all know, media o

If you have proper tracing and know there's small infection rates in your area, we do this all the time, but still keep the distance. You could go all isolation and lockdown mode for over a year. Either due to fear, or due to lack of c

It is better to point out how it is counterproductive and offer better arguments on the table. Because we won't bring "balance" by stomping on some other ethnic group, or fall into even more generalization about groups of peo

Racism is too cheap these days, as it often speaks of intentions hard to prove. You may call it bad faith though.

What do vaccination have to do with politics though? It's to do with science or belief systems.

It must be speculative, that's the entire purpose of associating with such groups and using them as political ammunition. Doesn't stop these people from throwing them under the bus later, if the bet doesn't pan out.

It doesn't matter so much wether you were venting or not, but how others perceive your output. Some people are great at that, while many of us are not. It's not about good or bad, skills, or anything like that. It's just, to

Of course you'll feel good about venting your frustrations. But everyone around you will feel bad.

What did the developer do to avoid being interrupted, ie. why is it necessary for others to disturb said developer?

You'll fare much better trying for constructive and introspective perspectives. Often you'll receive downvotes immediately anyway, but the tide might turn as other people might recognize something in what you write over time. This
