Note that the inclusion of "information activists" on this list makes the scope extremely broad.

This website is pretty awful without an Adblock (on mobile). Couldn’t even get through 3 paragraphs.

The road to authoritarianism is always an easy one-way street. The road back is hard, uphill, and soaked with blood.

We've asked you many times to stop posting unsubstantive comments to HN. Cheap ideological warfare complete with a call for political violence? and a tedious cliché at the same time? Obviously not what this site is for. No more of this please, regardless of what you're for or against.

that was not a call to anything! It is a historical analysis. I am happy to cite my sources.

Isn't assuming best intentions one of the rules here?

Sorry for misinterpreting you. Still, please don't post generic ideological comments to HN.

It sounded more like an accurate historical observation.

Weird comment...

Maybe so, but that isn't enough. It also needs not to be trite and shallow. Note this guideline:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

There's tons of previous explanation if you skip over the trivial bits in https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

Also https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... more generically.

I agree, if the bar for reading comprehension includes an inability to distinguish a truism from a statement of fact.
