The phrase

> Only those on the far right believe this

I as hyperbolic as the phrase you are critical of, and equally absurd.



sort by: page size:

> a manifesto inspired by the fascist manifesto

This is literally not true.


> left wingers are more shocked and appalled that someone would lie on the internet.

You have to be kidding


> “far right extremists“

5G and vaccine conspiracy theories are not a uniquely “far right” phenomenon. See Marin County, for example.


> right wing

This can't be relevant.

> have no place at the table for rational discussion.

What if I'm researching "conspiracy theories"?

What if I want to ridicule his stupid conspiracy theory, or make comedy/satire about it?


> That's the same trick used on the great replacement.

Are you also in the business of pushing far-right conspiracy theories?

> popular culture totally dominated by a right-wing media machine

Are you like a crazy delusional person?


>online community kicked off a specific talking point and spread it widely within just a few days.

It’s just a meme. That’s how it works.

>far-right

Dilbert guy? I do not agree.


> Deliberately appearing as a troll until the crucial context arrives to reverse the entire meaning is a shit narrative device when discussing serious issues. Save this stuff for stupid memes.

Even with the context it's obviously a troll, because the poster spends the entire first graph building a straw man. The underlying implication is that Republicans are somehow persecuted against by a nameless group who believes all of these negative attributes apply, but no evidence is presented for this.


> 40% of what you see is right wing conspiracy theorists

Right in a post complaining labelling, a labeling slapping to my face.

I am a bit depressed by our species ability to do rational thinking.


> This is the right wing paranoid delusional equivalent of the Silicon Valley billionaires who dream of never dying by uploading their brains into computers circling Mars.

I hope this isn't a real thing.


> because HN is filled with liberal SS thugs like you.

As someone generally critical of radical left-wing politics (in fact, any radical politics), you are not doing yourself (or anyone) any favours by using ad hominem arguments like this. Please just stop.


> Is this site so far left there are no conservatives?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_media_effect


> there are thousands of mostly far-right groups that are flooding google with garbage

Is there a citation for this? I see lots of far-left garbage on social media generally (by which I mean posts espousing violent revolution, racism, sexism, blank slatism, anarchism, and/or communism). I'm sure there are niches of far right racism, but it mostly seems like a niche problem (and given that the far right is largely a reaction to the far left, it stands to reason that we have an opportunity and obligation to kill both with the same stone).


> Milo Yiannopoulos advocates for practices that would literally kill people, in addition to advocating for pedophilia and getting very close to Nazi talking points.

You should be able to post some links illustrating this. I expect he says a lot of things that sound like that but which really aren't on closer inspection. Traditionally the political wings produce fan fiction of the other side and heavily paraphrase whatever the other side says.

Are you aware that Milo Yiannopoulos does not claim to be on the far right and they don't think he is either? His political orientation is best described troll-wing.


> pro-trump neo-fascists

all credibility lost.


> It's hard to imagine "ideology" being relevant to the vast majority of reddit...

This is egregiously incorrect.


>It's hilarious because it's so vague

It's not hilarious, it's the modus operandi to keep things vague so that they can hide behind apologists when called out. Like hiding behind decentralization to minimize the implicitly organized behavior of antifa. It's disingenuous and subversive. Then again I suppose subversion is the point...


>> If you go through the facebook feed of a conservative facebook user in their 50s+, you quite literally will see all lies and propaganda,

There are no lies or fake memes for the left?


> The idea that the Holocaust deniers will "create a new oppressive government" seems extremely paranoid to me.

Suuure.
