I find it worrying that a) you’re being downvoted and b) there actually being sympathies for white nationalism and fascist thought on HN. We all who love freedom and love our friends whatever background they may have should be working to not let these kinds of people obtain more power.

I don't know what to make of it. Has this always been here? Has it surged recently? I really don't know what to think.

I don’t know what slashdot is but thanks for the ad hom. Btw you’re not some kind of special person only because you have an account on HN.

I had the same interpretation as you but after rereading and looking at their comment history I think they are actually quoting you to concur with you, i.e. the white nationalists are the slashdot crowd

Yeah I was getting way too defensive in this thread. You're probably right and it's terrible the fascist threat makes me react totally unjust to fellow commenters meaning well.

yes. It is incredibly upsetting and scary for me. I'm so glad there are other sane people out here. I hope we get through this.
