First, you need to re-read what I wrote. I didn't call it a slur. I called it a hateful meme.
It's precisely that, because it is driven by hate -- you will understand this if you talk to people who deeply hate communism, such as in my experience Czech people who suffered under it -- and it's a meme, something repeated for social reasons, not to cultivate understanding.
If you can understand what's driving the kids to spam "communist bandits", you will see its ugliness. If you can't, then it's like a curse word in a foreign language: of course you don't mind. It remains, however, a foul little turd to all the people who do understand the context and the language, and who have adequate taste and intellect to prefer higher minded discourse.
To directly address your mischaracterization, this is not crybaby-ism; it's taste and the desire for substance. Nobody is crying about kids posting the hateful meme "communist bandits." I have no affinity for communism myself. I would take equal disgust in kids spamming "capitalist pigs". It's just dumb and ugly.
Give me a thesis with supporting evidence and citations. Meanwhile, delete (indeed, censor!) all the childish and simpleminded spam, so I don't have to be immersed in stupidity and hate when endeavoring to broaden my understanding.
You seem to not mind wading through filth, but most highly verbal adults share my preferences. We leave forums when the filth piles up, and the "discourse" that remains after we're gone reflects this reality.
And now we get to you. Some of us try to be bigger than calling each other crybabies, and calling their positions bullshit. What you wrote violates Hacker News rules. I'm not going to report you, because despite your unflattering model of me, I can pluck out a fly that lands in my whiskey glass without crying about it. This thread should be dead enough that you should be safe, but I'll regret my decision if you go on to attack other people.
I instead hope whatever is broken inside you gets healed, so that you can more effectively tackle what I agree is a problem: a government that forces citizens to literally watch their backs after they voice their mind is influencing countries and companies abroad. Right now, with your hostility, you're just poisoning the well.
