Here's another meta-lesson: "woke" turns out to be broadly popular and is not actually going away. Yes, many people *genuinely* give a fuck that tech leaders are promoting white supremacy and ethnic cleansing, and there will

Well, except the administration changed the name and then immediately engaged in wars of blatant aggression with Venezuela and Iran. What we choose to call things *is* important.

Bullshit: the primary reason Trump (and many other right-wingers) are in power is economic. Pushback to this sort of outward white supremacy is, in fact, quite popular. And to a large degree, there is little point in rationally debating the

False: "most of us" is just vibes based on chatter in your chosen social circles. Rest assured this is not actually the case.

"When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them." This is not "homeless pooping in the bushes," but just "gypsies". And the (very, very intentional) juxtap

Not OP, but personally I spent some time reading DHH's blog posts. They are truly vile. It's entirely reasonable to want to boycott any product that sends money his way.

*You* don't care about it. Please don't confuse this with no one caring about it. I care a lot, as do most of my peers. If you don't see any pushback to this bullshit in your follows, you are in a bubble.

Renown liar Altman releasing a PR statement for his product declaring that AGI is here is really not noteworthy.

Why? Because HN is unironically full of dyed-in-the-wool fascists these days. Maybe working under ruthless, hierarchical corporate structures all your life breaks your brain a little.

What? Where is the contradiction? DHH is deplorably wrong for the same reason that these right-wingers are deplorably wrong. (Even more so in the US because none of them are "native" to the country in the first place. Their immigr

A lot of folks on the right seem to believe that virtue doesn't exist without an element of self-interest. They're telling on themselves, of course.

Except DHH wants to deport citizens who don't fit his ideal, not just noncitizen lawbreakers. If you actually read his writing, it becomes pretty clear that he doesn't think nonwhites can ever become true Danes (or Brits). And Rom

Do you know the basics of how written language works? Are you familiar at all with the concept of juxtaposition? When Tutsis were called "cockroaches" in the lead-up to the Rwandan Genocide, do you think the speakers were literall
