An extremely popular reality show has not been renewed for another season. Hackernews posts three and a half thousand comments in twelve hours, most of which bemoan the radicalization of American politics. The broad consensus among Hackernews is that both the extreme left and the radical right have too much power and too loud a voice, and have conspired to remove all representation of centrists like Donald Trump. This is, depending on which Hackernews is currently frothing, either the fault of the anti-white-male Big Tech companies who want to use diversity hiring goals to establish a Stalinist global regime, or else it's the fault of the white male Big Tech CEOs who want to establish Mad-Max-Style libertarian nation-states hell-bent on defacing the United States Constitution. Either position is fine, say the moderators of "Hacker" "News", so long as there is no name-calling. All comments follow the standard format, which begins with "So you admit" or an incorrect rephrasing of the parent comment, followed by an attack on that rephrasing. At some point, the assholes who think democracy is a bad idea start popping up, and their opinions are given careful consideration. This is easily the worst thread in the history of "Hacker" "News." Absolutely no technology is discussed. |
