Please don't take HN threads further into ideological battle. We want thoughtful, substantive comments here, not tit-for-tat flamewars.

That seems extreme. Isn't it irrational to declare that "every" source that "leans" toward whatever political identity you presumably dislike is "propaganda" and "a machine of hate"? That sounds like the most absurd generalization possible - in fact, it sounds like a product of ignorance and hatred.

Fascism is defined as right wing extremism[1]. Hating hate and haters is different than the hate of otherness stoked by fascists[2].

There’s a big difference between the right and left here. If you’re unable to look past your petty lines drawn with colors you’d realize one is a source of shit posting and the other is a source of hate.
It’s ignorance like yours that keeps progress back. But whatever...

Please don't take HN threads further into ideological flamewar, and especially please don't cross into personal attack. We ban accounts that do those things. If you'd review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the spirit of this site to heart, we'd be grateful.
Funny. I would have said the same about nearly every primary left-leaning media outlet.
