> I won't indulge what kind

There's only one kind considered too controversial for mainstream.

I mean, this comment could give you some clues [to what their leanings are and what content could be hosted*]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26610522

>For all I've seen "non-white non-male" is generally given priority in all kinds of areas, certainly in start-up interest. It's considered "hip" to associate with these "non-white non-male" groups, irregardless of their actual performance in whatever area they were prioritized. (To a certain extent at least, they can't be completely nonperforming) Being able to show that you have included these groups in whatever way your organization works, gives you advantages in press situations foremost, but also in other ways such as meeting arbitrary quotas set by higher-ups and HR dept.s in your organization.

I'm guessing...videos leaked from inside factory farms.

Guess again:

> 1) Non-white non-males are given less ability to grow in the "STEM/Entrepreneurship" fields as students and/or children by society.

> 2) White men are able to outperform those other groups by some inherent quality.

> Nevertheless, 1) seems to be partially disproved

Unless I misread, the claim that is being made here is "white males are inherently superior"

That was my take!

I think stirfish was being sarcastic about factory farms and probably reached the same (scary) conclusion.

To me it's more likely due to not being able to see reality is more nuanced than 2 options.

Which one are you referring to? Because I can think of a few.

if you look through his twitter, you can see the kinds of things he promotes....

You would be surpriced

Conservative-Libertarian Anarcho-Marxist Fascism?

The only true popular front! /s

If you’re intending to be sarcastic, you probably mean united front.

Looking at the definition I see united front actually fits the idea better! I did mean to be sarcastic and wrong though.

Ha!

Blending of conflicting ideologies implies compromise or trade-off, which would be a popular front.

In a united front, the groups do not merge or compromise. Ideologies and ultimate intentions remain pure, and the groups only collaborate in the name of overlapping interests.

These days as long as you promise financial benefits for about 10-30% of population, anything goes. That's why you've got so many populist parties around Europe winning elections. People don't care much as long as they get paid, can buy food, pay rent, and spend rest of the day browsing internet or getting drunk in front of Netflix.
