Is it? Hasn't been a problem for me.


That's because you're not in the "basket of deplorables"


That would seem to be a very easy place to avoid.


How? One's political views are largely an expression of innate personality traits. And, as we have seen, the basket of deplorable includes anyone who is not explicitly left wing.


"the basket of deplorable includes anyone who is not explicitly left wing."

Nah. It tends to include neo-nazis, neo-confederates, racists, sexists, white supremacists, kiddy diddlers, and the like. It's not a particularly difficult group to not be a part of.


No. It includes anyone who is opposes left wing ideas and is effective.


Nah. It includes some of the most disgusting members of society. Curious how you rise so adamantly to their defense.


You're attitude to people is absolutely toxic. Why are you surprised that people side against you?


I'm not surprised. I consider it a badge of honor that neo-nazis, neo-confederates, racists, white supremacists, sexists, kiddy diddlers, et al, side against me.

You might consider being concerned if your ideas and attitudes align with those of the aforementioned deplorables. And yes, that would be the correct term.

Edit: Calling people by the correct descriptive terms is not smearing. I'm sorry you are confused.


This is all in your head guy. You started throwing all these smears around, and now having done so, you congratulate yourself for having such virtue and integrity for despising these people.

It all just boils down to a fig-leaf for your hatred.


It's not really a problem if none cares who you are.


Speaking from personal experience?

As far as consequences for voicing one's opinion go, having a post on the Hacker News forum flagged is pretty much down at the bottom.
