It is not at all a false equivalency. How do we encourage artistically oriented people to be more mathematical? How do we change ESFJ into INTP? How do we increase IQ? Just hecause certain traits are mental rather than physical doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

> Ask yourself if they’re just trying to deflect from whatever controversial thing they did in the first place.

People forget how gamergate actually started. A bunch of “gamer journalists” were caught red handed colluding with game producers to write stellar reviews for some botched B-list games (e.g. “depression quest”). People were rightfully upset and any discussion on the subject was banned from reddit and similar forums. The “harassment campaign” narrative was pushed much later to deflect from the gaming journalism controversy.

I disagree with this argument. If I go around telling people I am the reincarnation of Napoleon, and insist to be called “Your Excellency”, sooner or later I will be committed to a mental institution. The subjective experience of an individual cannot serve as a basis for reality.

EDIT: of course, there is no answer to this, only downvotes. Trying to discuss this subject is more and more like trying to discuss a religious doctrine.

Seems like Hacker News is being co-opted by people with an agenda. I see more and more of these off-topic articles popping up on the front page

> They pay a lot dividends to other provinces that are now broke because they sold ownership of their resources to third parties.

This is not exactly true. Quebec doesn’t pay anything to other provinces, in fact it is the biggest recipient of Equalization Payments, by a huge margin.

Sure nazism is 1000x worse than blm or antifa, the only problem is that nazism doesn’t exist anymore. The NSDAP was disbanded in 1945. Antifa and blm are still active today
