Please elaborate on how this comment is a political or ideological battle? A person asked a specific question about US history, and I replied with relevant historical documentation.

How could I have answered their question in a way that does not destroy HN?

I'm more concerned with what that implies about the content of their character, rather than color

>"The National Museum of African American History & Culture wants to make you aware of certain signs of whiteness: Individualism, hard work, objectivity, the nuclear family, progress, respect for authority, delayed gratification, more."Oh, and emphasis on scientific methods.

What does that say about the life works of Frederick Douglass, Booker T Washington, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?

Yep, it's definitely not easy. Nothing worth doing is.

Many prefer poisonous fast food to a healthy home cooked meal, just as many prefer to read twitter comments and click bait than to read a book

Studying human history and philosophy provides much greater insights into human affairs than reading click bait or partisan propaganda

As a thought experiment: are there any examples that you can personally think of where self proclaimed liberals used hate and fear to shape public discourse?

>alternative that does the work of collective discovery.

The library

>How do I tell the difference between an honest citizen journalist, a propagandist, a liar, a lunatic, or a troll?

Critical thinking skills, independent research, and open dialogue

How many examples would it take to convince you?

And do you think it's possible for humans to claim they are driven by altruistic, while actually being primarily hateful, deceitful, divisive, and destructive?

Maybe if there weren't already countless other supporting, self-evident examples in recent history

You're assuming a false dichotomy in which one obscurely defined group is subjectively deemed to be marginally better than the other excuses the synergistic absurdity of both

Not surprising considering the extreme consolidation of mass media corporations over the past 50 years.

The irony is inherent in the ideology. This is just one of many examples of that irony on full public display, cannibalizing itself.

>it would be VERY hard to convince me that they have done it at the same level of concerted effort.

What exactly would it take to convince you of that?
