To be precise: a lot of people (even on hn, especially on hn) are personally and practically invested in authoritarian practices being legitimate.


To vehemently support the policy of the hour as moral and correct, and then to be later shown to be wrong. At best a fool and at worst a criminal. Is more than many can tolerate. They would rather maintain the lie in the face of all evidence.


I’m kinda surprised. I felt this group was much more rebellious a few years ago. A lot of people might say it’s growing up, but I still don’t like it.

I look back on the people I admired, and they questioned authority.
