Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar. If you lead with "Yeah it's fascist" and "it fucking disgusts me", you're leaving the path of curious conversation, and these threads unfortunately tend not to be self-correcting that way.
Please, dang, who am I flaming? I'm agreeing with the parent. I'm frustrated. Am I not allowed to present a passionate viewpoint on NH? I mean no disrespect I'm genuinely confused how to respond to your comment. Should I delete mine because I used the word fascist? I absolutely believe the social tendency we're seeing is intolerant and definitionally fascist. It promotes a unified notion of culture and the policies we've seen manifest as a result of it are harmful to freedom of expression. I didn't attack anyone personally and I am presenting an honest, non-trolling, viewpoint with no intention to needlessly provoke anybody.
It's not that you were flaming anybody in particular, thankfully. But the combination of generic rhetoric and high indignation is a marker of flamewar. It's not even that what you posted is so bad—it's just that it reliably leads to worse threads. It's like an expected value calculation (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).
