Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community

If you ever happen to chat in-person with this sort of highly-concerned moderate, feel free to grill them about how they would deal with violent fascists. Either they cave, or they'll eventually conclude that their immense powers of rhetoric allow them to verbally defuse Nazis somehow. In this latter case, point out that they can't even convince you that punching Nazis is wrong, and conclude that they must not be very good at rhetoric.

Sorry, but I can't even sneer properly at this sort of cowardice. It's pathetic to the point where ridicule is the only response I can emotionally justify.

The other source video option is Bush getting a shoe thrown at him. Excellent.

Still too bad it missed.

Damn, currently most of the comments are actually fine with it and the concerned moralists are downvoted. The Github issue got an interesting response too.

I thought the video was a bit tame, personally. I'd prefer some footage of a Nazi being raped. The world doesn't have enough good-guy-on-Nazi rape, for my liking.

Lol, yeah, that was weird when I opened it a few hours ago. That comment is flagged now though.
