Comments like this will get you banned here, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

It's unfortunate that mean words can get you banned but not outright lies and misinformation.

We don't have a truth meter or a mind reader, and in any case people are allowed to be wrong. Most of us are wrong about most things.

If someone else is wrong or you feel they are, you should make a respectful case for the truth as you understand it. Alternatively, if you don't want to take the time to do that, chalk it up to someone being wrong on the internet and leave it.

Crude insults aren't just against HN's rules, they also are not in your interest, because they discredit your own argument. That's the worst way to represent your point of view, and in the case you happen to be right, you end up discrediting the truth for everybody. Not a win.

Thanks.

I admit I was frustrated by core-utility's outright lie (or at least ignorance) about what is going on and could have explained things better.

What's now? This is just the same red scare hokum of the 50s.

Neither could. Critical race theory isn't prescriptive. Black Lives Matter is, but advocates for equal outcomes (primarily in policing). This isn't Marxism, but just regular justice.

The only thing Marxist about them is that the right has tried to tie them in with Marxism as part of the FUD, and some 'leaders' in the movements also advocate for Marxist solutions. Christopher Rufo was explicit in his intent to do so for Critical Race Theory. It's precisely the same red scare tactics used to punish people with different ideology in the 50s as enemies of the state.

The original comment said that prosecuting a mother for the death of a fetus was not a thing. I shared an article with multiple examples of that showing he was misinformed. That was my whole point. I don’t know what point you think I was making that was refuted, and I really don’t want to derail the conversation and get into the weeds of whether this particular case of stillbirth was a miscarriage or an abortion or m…

If you are going to pick example cases to prove your argument, I would not pick a case where a meth addict murdered her child.

What is my argument again?

Women have been prosecuted for miscarriages before, it's not baseless. https://www.npr.org/2022/07/03/1109015302/abortion-prosecuti...

NPR is funded by the federal government. They rely on the same fact checking services (the IFCC, PolitiFact / Poynter) that are funded by Soros, the Gates, the Clintons, the Koch foundation, etc... They're probably the most anti-American media outlet in existence and I wouldn't trust the words they print further than I can ball them up and throw them.

What news sources do you trust?
