As much of a childish reaction as I feel her response is because she saw HN in site stats, I instantly won't read won't she wrote because of that.
That's what she means by "nazis at the bar". It's some woke meme that says it's not possible to discuss anything with people who you disagree with, because you'll instantly become exactly like them.
That's all craziness of course - some sort of personality disorder in which basic empathy is lost and the way other people's minds work is badly misunderstood. These sort of people can be dangerous to those around them, and probably need psychiatric help, but it's not formally recognized as a disorder.
see how fluidly you move between naziism as an analogy and asserting that it has a literal meaning such that the "war" about that has been over for decades? nobody here is a literal nazi not even close, so this whole argument is meaningless.
> the people who do not like assholes stop coming around
the whole point is that actually no, it is possible for people to strongly disagree yet stay talking and adults do so all the time.
Although it is true that "nazi" was historically thrown around a LOT, especially during the 90's and earlier 2000's, with things like "Soup Nazi" and grammar nazies. Charlottesville was really the wakeup call that no, there are real white nationalists, neonazies, and similar, and they will attempt to take over at all costs.
And in the occult, there is Norse religion called Asatru - or faith of the Aesir. Unfortunately, groups like "Asatru Folk Assembly" are literally neonazi front groups, that peddle Asatru but with a racial purity identity. The anti-racist Asatruars have had to fight against real neonazies getting your group, "peacefully" suggesting racial purity, inviting more like them and running off the anti-racists... And after a bit, your group is now a neonazi front. This is a literal thing that happens.
These types are not to be tolerated, discussed with, or anything outside of running them off the moment they appear.
Yeah no, that's exactly what this is regarding. Anyone who doesn't think exactly like me is a Nazi and because you tolerate people that don't think exactly like me you're a Nazi too.
The plain and simple fact is that different communities have different threshholds for what sorts of opinions they find acceptable. The person who posted the article considers Hacker News to accomodate unacceptable opinions. Instead of just noting that fact and moving on, you've decided to get angry on the internet about "woke people." It's really weird, since their opinion doesn't affect you or Hacker News in the slightest.
So, what's the problem here? A blogger is mean?
