I love all the people who just want to ignore the attempted kidnapping / murder of the Vice President and Speaker of the house.

Why are you using quotes around the word “canceled” for the Daily Stormer.

It was literally a neo-nazi site.

Do you think the issues people had with it were somehow contrived, false, or overblown?

Why would you even bring that site up tbh?

Lol so far the bar is don’t let people plan a violent insurrection on your app.

“Breaking the law nonviolently is a storied tradition for protestors. AKA civil disobedience.”

There, fixed that for ya :);)

Since Trump puts self over country/other people, in this case his foil would be country and other people over self, or at least trend that way. So IMHO it depends if PG is spending his time and money to oppose Trump, IMHO. At a moment like this genuine foils would be in active opposition to one another.

I’m proud of being intellectually honest while also doing my best not to be a dick.

And of writing maintainable and readable code that will last.

I regret sometimes when I cancel plans with friends. And getting sucked online so much.

TFA:

‘ "We are seeing ... chatter from these white supremacists, from these far-right extremists -- they feel emboldened in this moment," said Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks and counters hate. "We fully expect that this violence could actually get worse before it gets better."’

Thank you. To reiterate, however, tolerant societies should not and cannot tolerate intolerance.

People promoting the “election fraud” lie, or supporting the insurrection/coup attempt are undermining democracy and are borderline seditious. It’s not okay to spread that lie, and if not ban, HN should at least officially condemn those false and odious beliefs.

Right now I believe it’s our civic duty to make clear that those beliefs are unacceptable and anti-democratic and will not be tolerated.

I don’t know if you really understand that an armed mob attempted to take hostage members of Congress in order to stop the certification of the new, legitimately elected President.

What do you believe? If supporting that isn’t the line that someone should be condemned for crossing, and shunned, then what is?

HN - your silence is complicity. How do you think people of color feel reading HN comments where folks argue how racism isn’t really a thing or was “solved” in the 60s? Do they feel like people are being kind according to the guidelines?

What does it say about you if you ban me for what I said, but keep the racists and folks who wouldn’t mind seeing Trump get three or four or five more terms, because I’m honest about my beliefs but they hide behind junior-high level verbal wordplay?
