It's him and commenters like you who are doing being lazy and feeling impulsive to post immature flamewar level comments.
Do you care his responses included ad hominem, straw mans, and don't actually counter my arguments but talk around them?
I wonder how biased you are around the topic.
And care to actually respond to support your claim by referencing his unsupported claims, and pull in the specifics from my comment that somehow support his claims? Don't think you can.
There is no value offered by the HN community itself to argue about this. Such value as the HN community offers is precisely when it is not discussing the same things as everyone else.
Claims of genocide isn't "every single conversation on the internet" and it most certainly isn't unimportant. You're constructing a strawman?
The rhetoric and general level of insulting insinuation and personal attacks being deployed in this thread continues to demonstrate my claims that there is nothing special HN has to offer, not even so much as "a generally higher level of respect" or anything like that. There's no difference to a conversation here than anywhere else, which means you may as well have that conversation in the thousands or millions of other places to have it.
Also, I'm out. I've made my point here. Feel free to continue lobbing accusations and insinuations at me to continue proving my point.
The HN community is a very nerdy bunch. There are lawyers among us, experts or knowledgeable enthusiasts in International Humanitarian Law. I mean I don’t think it is unlikely that someone here works (or has worked) for a firm or an institution which was consulted before this warrant was recommended.
The ongoing genocide is also highly relevant to the HN as much of the tech use in our job or hobbies, and even contribute to, is being used as a weapon in the ongoing genocide.
There has also been news of tech workers being specifically targeted in the ongoing genocide, our industrial comrades who may no longer be with us, some of which no doubt had HN accounts. When this news was submitted, it too was flagged (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39738469)
And as Jordan Peterson said in his Beyond Order book - "intelligent ideologues are the most dangerous because they've really convinced themselves they're right."
Most of the mainstream platforms have been captured and heavily influenced due to outweighed power that only a handful of users can apply to manipulate how much exposure certain content and comments get; Twitter-X being in Elon Musk's hands at least have stopped fascists governments from the world in at least an incognito fashion censoring-suppression certain narratives of truth they don't want the population becoming the wiser on.
Larger than that: HN is for curious, thoughtful discussion. This topic is not going to give rise to a curious, thoughtful conversation. So, no matter how much you want to discuss it, this isn't the place.
