Right, because it's the posts that incite social wars rather than the real events they discuss. This is how it happens:

1. Something bad happens due to what we can call "SV culture", at least bad for some people.

2. A brave soul writes about the injustice, and posts the story (or someone else does) to HN.

3. The story is promptly flagged because the discussion of the injustice is "pointless social war mongering".

4. Order is restored.

5. Another brave soul writes about how HN reflects the SV social hegemony by ignoring important issues.

6. That story is promptly flagged.



So much butthurt.

This is Hacker News, not Tumblr. Social justice idiots try to inject their nonsense into every culture, and I would prefer this community to stay on the technology.


What's technology for? Technology isn't neutral (like science can be). It is either to advance social justice or to obtain or maintain power. I think you're not particularly powerful, so I can only assume you're so laser-focused on technology, so religiously fanatical about it, because, how did you put it? Well, because you're a "social justice idiot".


You seem to have a mental disorder when everything seems to be revolving about the issues you like, and so you are unhappy when they aren't covered by site X you visit.

Most of us like technology because it's interesting, not because it gives us some magical power. It's infinitely more interesting than whining about the abuse of virtual characters in games and other such idiocy.

Aren't you a mod here? You should ban me, or whatever the proper punishment is.


Rest assured that you will be banned eventually if you continue like that, but the proper first step is to tell someone what they are doing wrong, rather than ban them outright.
