I believe the level of discourse on HN consistently avoids these over the last decade+ I've been here - one way to do that without falling into the trap of making you feel Othered is to encourage slow and steady argumentation - ex. characterizing this summers protests as "the black ""community"" totally flipping out and canonizing rapists and drug addicts" is loaded language, and worse for avoiding ingroup/outgroup dynamics, factually wrong at it's face: we know there were non-black "community" (what do the air quotes mean?) members that also protested.
> ...what do the air quotes mean?
Consider not only the stupidity of cramming so many people into a single label suffixed by the word "community", but the utility that such an exercise would offer - and to who's benefit. Do you feel a sense of community with the rest of the people who share some arbitrary set of qualities with you? The right handed, brown eyed, bowl cut community?
I'll point out the things you're mentioning were not only not said by me, and in fact, were things other people chastised me for not saying.
The weird meta-analysis may cut against your instincts, but you're going to have to deal with it at some point. It's weird to you because I _don't_ engage with the complex LARP you're living in. I simply noted that the comment was wrong at its face
Oh that's fucking rich. You know damn well that HN consistently avoids one particular in-group and consistently dog-whistles in favor of the other in-group.
It really scares people when A) they find out you can mind read and B) you know _exactly_ how they're planning on manipulating society and C) you know the intricate details of their plan to say one thing but believe another, thus creating an unfair situation for you, a freethinker who knows They are up to something, and wants to save other innocents from Their trap.
