The point is that "Trump bad" or "Elon Nazi" are brain rot and pollute a lot of online discussion. If one wants to discuss any of that they should make their own thread in their own space and invite people to discuss instead of poisoning discussion about rockets, robots, AI or what not.

>>Many people who feel this way believe that Trump and others in his administration are openly fascist and are working to bring about a fascist form of government within the USA.

That's an assertion which a lot of reasonable people disagree with. Just don't insert it in threads which are not about politics and all will be fine.



I rarely see it inserted into threads on HN where it is not relevant.

Also, I'd say that "Trump bad" and "Elon Nazi" are, in that form, shorthands for a much longer argument that most people don't want to rehash.


The whole article linked in OP is about such cases.

>>Also, I'd say that "Trump bad" and "Elon Nazi" are, in that form, shorthands for a much longer argument that most people don't want to rehash.

Yeah and others don't want to hear them because they are not relevant to the discussion about say xAI product, Tesla or something Trump endorsed.
