So does sleep. Stop sleeping.

You're correct. Hours spent concern trolling are hours spent failing to oppose fascism.


Sorry. That comment is one among many I wish I could take back on HN.


I liked it.

It expresses, succinctly, the problem with 'either you are with me or against me', and its evily-more-persuasive cousin 'there is no apolitical speech'.

Sometimes I wish I was more apolitical, for my own sake, and if this defends the status-quo, so be it. What was the chance of making any difference anyway?
