Hi! Please refer to my previous comment.

Hi! Please refer to the HN guidelines, especially the following section:

I don't see any words relating to the discussion at hand anywhere to be found in this ad hominem (i've taken my pick).

Let me give you a hint what happens when a state violence monopoly disappears: something else tales their spot.

If you value not having to walk heavily armed, or pay big money to some protection racket, or something worse, then you’re better off having a state police despite them being questionable.

theres various ways of going around it, which I might consider in OP’s shoes

It most certainly does not originate from the black community, but leftist liberal white academics. Blacks have certainly adopted the cause but they are not the ones stirring most of the ridiculousness we are seeing.

I would set up my own shop under a limited company and try to land programming gigs. You can sidestep most personal checks that way.

Banks won't touch this guy with a ten-foot pole. I'm not saying it's right at all, but big banks are among the lowest of low in terms of ethics and integrity.

Focus on "right-wing propaganda" is important enough to be included in headline, but never mentioned again. Suggests to me that this article is scaremongering. Do you really think any organized group isn't using social media automation at this point, be that left or right?

It's almost as if you could benefit of thinking about second-order effects instead of following ideology blindly. Unfortunately nuanced discussion and thinking seems to be out of fashion.

Any US personnel dependent on the academic system writing about anything remotely political or social sciences related (i.e. anything mathematically unverifiable) cannot be trusted as any kind of authority (in the current era). The rabid left-wing student organizations will destroy their livelihood on the smallest whim if their stance is "wrong".

Playbook slippery slope, first minor remarks here and there, then clearly labelling someone as "the enemy", or perhaps complete erasure from the website if it suits the purpose.

As an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_communist_...

Where else can I build a feed of all the different subgroups that exist within the RW spectrum?

Please dont say something like Parler

There are some fantastic fringe right-wing communities I’m going to miss tremendously after the new CEO inevitably starts purging the ”unconventional” content

Whats your plan to solve logistical problems with the vaccines in Africa?

Well, your 2 cents would be wrong since SA is actively rejecting vaccines due to low intake: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/exclusive-south-africa-...

Rowing is cardio

H&M was not a "consumer-led boycott" - it was an effort by the owners of the digital infrastructure (major ecommerce platforms in this case) to actively hide the existence of H&M stores in China.

The US vs China argument is detrimental in any case. The discussion should evolve into achieving digital sovereignity as a whole, not argue about whether player x or y in the current rotten system is better.

This will most certainly not be solved on an EU level. The only outcome that they could produce would be replacing US & China with EU-controlled narrative and again, it's just repeating the same problem, albeit in lesser severity.

Your test means nothing. The problem here is the potent risk, not the current state of the filter.

Exactly the same scenario as with the Huawei 5G products. It is a major risk building your entire "smart" infrastructure with a line of products that could at some unspecified future date start clamping down on you via remote software updates, just because you insulted the dear leader or did something else to anger the regime.

Did we not see this already with H&M stores in China? I can't believe there are still (smart) people here on HN who pretend like there's no danger involved.

Yep. Also see: Wuhan lab, and the US ties to it.

You do not need a diagnosis to be depressed. What a counterintuitive logic.

Interesting considering the world currently has a plastics poisoning problem

I wager you don’t have kids yourself. Anyway, missing your kids growing up is a forever lost opportunity. Starting a company is not. Very much not comparable

> 1. Just like Asians have been the "model minority," Blacks are treated as the opposite. There's a lot of resentment going one way, and a lot of "what did you hit me for?" going the other way.

Not sure I'm understanding; are you saying asians are targeted by blacks because of some "race retaliation" scheme?

> 4. There's a fair bit of talk these days in some of my circles that there's a divide-and-conquer thing going on.

Divide-and-conquer of what exactly?

Does black-on-asian violence have some kind of special status in comparison to black-on-any-other-skin-color violence?

Problem is and was stating ”lab origin” as a false narrative when we truly just don’t know.

Of course a Politifact that says ”we dont know” is useless and so they have to invent truths to be relevant.

Politifact and COVID origin

Absurd? Definitely not. Go ask the militant fake news fighters if alternate news sources should be banned and you’ll get a resounding yes.

People obsessed with ”fighting fake news” are the same people who want a single narrative shoved down the throat of everyone. I’m wildly more comfortable with the bottom-up style information flow we’re experiencing now; as with big structural changes, some growing pains are inevitable - but it will be much more beneficial and resilient on the long term.
