Maybe that was a while ago, because almost all of the personality tests that I've had to take are, question: "I enjoy the challenge of collaborating with my coworkers" answer: stro…

I think it's 'dead' in comparison to the way it used to be used. I was actually just looking for RSS feeds for some of the top news sites, and a lot of them have specialized RSS fe…

> The thing is, as a person of color, the onus isn't on me to convert your racist grandparent or uncle from being a racist piece of shit. Fuck them. That puts me in the subordinate…

Yeah, I remember during World War II, the Fascists were really giving the Nazis hell. Just classic fascism.

> people who absolutely hate me and want my whole race to die What's really interesting about that is I couldn't find one bit of audio that came anywhere near what you're character…

> There is no guarantee that Nazis will not again take advantage of a population that is used to follow the state's lead, this time to silence you, or that another group won't do t…

I mean, that's a pretty common narrative. "They were being ATTACKED for being racist so they became MORE RACIST." And? There's this black guy. They did this documentary on him a wh…

I mean, if banning Nazi'ism is considered 'state censorship' then yes, I wholeheartedly support state censorship. If that's 'imposing someone's truth on everyone else', so be it.

Name three podcasts since there are 'a lot of black supremacists'.

Honestly, I would prefer that over the ambiguity. I'd much rather live in a state in America where being a Nazi is illegal with the side effect of knowing, unequivocally, that I ne…

> I don't care if I'm on the receiving end of threats or actual violence because of free speech. Giving up your rights due to being scared is cowardice and allows actual authoritar…

> Is it a coincidence that their movements grew significantly with the amplification of messages against them and social media censorship against them. Various right wing figures u…

> It would be great if we could magically eliminate nazi ideology You mean like criminalizing it like the way it is in Germany? That magic?

> Surely you cannot think restricting speech helps you in any way? Do you think it helps turn those that dislike you on your side? I think it removes the ambiguity. If you find law…

I think that's really easy to believe in - when you're not at risk in any kind of way. I mean, if you're a white guy, what do you give a fuck about someone turning America into a w…

> last time this happened in US airspace was Pearl Harbor Didn't this happen in 9/11 with one of the planes?

It's interesting this would pop up, because I was just thinking yesterday about how the holes of cans used to be a different shape. I believe it was mid to late 90's. They switched…

I walk laps around the car in my garage and if the weather is particularly nice, I'll walk outside. I try to do this for about an hour a day. Since this is Hacker News, and might f…

"Different people have different risk tolerances and people with lower risk tolerances disgust me." Okay, gotcha.

I have a similar issue with watching TV and movies and any form of media consumption. I stopped rewatching stuff. (for the most part) And now when I save stuff for later, I ask mys…

It's not so much 'people who left California are Republicans" but more, 'people who post on social media about how they're leaving California -are- Republicans".

That's because many of them from the Elon Musk school of problem solving. "You're poor? Work harder. Get a better job. First principles." "You're unhealthy? Exercise more. Eat bett…

I would have agreed with you... up until the pandemic. If we didn't live in a car dependent country, way more people I know would have died. You -could- make the argument that we'd…

Then you haven't been to an actually poor one. Every single one I've been to looks like that one room in an old person's house, full of stuff that no one could absolutely give a sh…
