What you’re witnessing on HN and elsewhere is politics masquerading as objective and ostensibly, a thoughtful discourse.

None of the articles on HN have much of good faith discussion. I just see it as “progressives are pissed because their platform of power is being seized”. A lot of that relied on platform censorship on places like Twitter.

Just now, the WhiteHouse account is being fact checked. That doesn’t sit well with progressives.

And the WH deleted some of those tweets after being fact checked.

Isn't White House supposed to keep records? They are not supposed to delete stuff.

The white house press releases have been a total disaster. I thought we had it bad in the previous admin. Lies after lies told to American public. Much of this stuff goes unchallenged on all social media.
