Calling yourself anti-fascist does not make you immune to totalitarianism, tribalism and othering any more than, to borrow an analogy, writing "cool" on a box makes it a freezer.

edit: Oy! The downvote is not for disagreeing!

Downvoting for disagreement is ok on HN; always has been.

What's not ok is going on about downvotes. It never does any good, and it makes for boring reading.

Well alrighty then.

I feel like that works better for factual, technical claims than political ones though. As another website says, "No technology is discussed."
