You realize the weeks-long “peaceful” BLM/Antifa protests caused orders of magnitude more damage in multiple cities, rather than this one protest in one building that happened for one day?
Also there’s phone recordings of several people at the capitol incident who were actually antifa people disguised as trump supporters. I’d share a link to some tweets to show you.... but guess what? They’ve been banned
I know you’re arguing this as a note of caution in the opposite direction, but I’d actually argue this as a note in the same direction. You’re essentially arguing that we’re having an effect on something we don’t understand, which is a really bad thing to do in my opinion
Compared to all the other places we could discuss the recent affairs online, HN is a unique place because we are the ones who’ve built the big tech industry. So we’re in the unique position of having to grapple with whether we’re failing the American people, or if we’re actually enabling good moral and ethical decisions
Personally I fall more on the former side. Whatever your stance, the tech industry is going through a deep existential moment right now
I appreciate your point and I don’t have anything to add to the conversation but your italics comes across as condescending.
That’s ironic because haven’t you presented your argument in a formal format here? And attempted to build something for a coherent and effective belief system? And passed on sharing the relatable story that would allow others to understand how you’ve come to believe what you’ve outlined?
Just because you haven’t been able to access any truth through philosophizing doesn’t mean it’s not possible.
