HN is the most heavily moderated, manipulated and astro-turned forum I've even seen, but you don't realize that until the mods start suppressing your posts and comments. Titles are constantly edited for no apparent reason, users who post unpopular facts are permanently penalized, and you can watch as negative stories about large tech companies are quickly flagged off the front page.

There's literally zero transparency here. At least on Reddit you can track the censorship in real time.

That's like saying "if you dislike any single black person for any reason you're racist".

> Which? Next to medical reasons there are none.

COVID vaccines aren't eligible for the VICP and have a laundry list of horrific side-effects, that's plenty of reason for any reasonable person.

> It's just selfishness and not caring about the greater good and health of society, your neighbours, colleagues, friends or family.

You can say the same about fat people, smokers, drinkers, and all other people who take unnecessary risks of any kind. They're all burdens on the healthcare system that reduce access and affordability for everyone else.

Vaccine effectiveness is changing every day. In Israel they're seeing 16% efficacy 6 months after the 2nd Pfizer dose.

Also, benefits are only one half of the cost:benefit analysis. Where is the public data on side effects? It doesn't exist because all we have is completely unverified VAERS claims.

You can't make an informed decision when you only know half the equation.

> This probably sounds pedantic

It doesn't just sound pedantic, it is pedantic.

The topic is clearly about personality traits not medical conditions.

Funny how people are jumping out of the woodwork to defend racism. There's literally no context where attributing qualities to people based on their skin color is OK.

When did we go back to the 1950s? I sure hope you don't feel comfortable being this racist in real life.

Didn't Biden reverse that?

Don't try to justify racism. The slides literally told employees to "be less white".

The justice department tried to count all the federal criminal laws once. The best they could come up with was a rough estimate, and that didn't even include state or local laws. There are literally so many criminal laws now that no one is able to count them all, let alone understand them.

Is it fair to penalize someone if they couldn't possibly know their behavior was criminal?

9-9-6 schedule, "brainwashing" training, public humiliation for mistakes, automatic termination at age 50, penalties for integrating with EU culture. This isn't employment, it's slavery.
