Do you think people seeking medical advice from HN comments might be related to their disatisfaction from the suppor they receive from medical clinicians?
My impression is that the site has gradually shifted right, but the Overton window has shifted right faster giving the illusion that it has gone left.
Edit: There is something ironic to be said about my very benign comment triggering someone to the point that they felt compelled to create an account and call me classically right wing slurs (subhuman, animal, low-iq). I think its worth considering that the internet/social media has contributed to a growing mental health crisis. Hurt, sick and lonely people seem to congregate online.
Failing to mention his involvement with the US security services seems like an oversight. We don't know exactly what technology he add access to at the time.
Reminds me of the documentary Cold Case Hammarskjold where they discover the apartheid era South African government had set up fake medical clinics to infect (Black) Africans with HIV.
>The Hamas-tied Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is best known as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing case in U.S. history, appears to have access to high-ranking Facebook and Twitter executives and has communicated with these individuals about who should be allowed to stay on their platforms, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Tuesday.
Or maybe its a chance for you to wonder why a gay woman might find themselves constantly frustrated and angry when living in a patriarchal homophobic society?
The downside of this though is that unexpected positive results sometimes get buried. For instance, clinical trials have to report all adverse effects but not positive effects. We've had drugs tested for symptom X fail to have any effect, while causing bald people to have their hair grow back. Yet the company we were testing it for wasn't interested and those results never made it into the public domain.
All white people do have some innate starting advantage due to their whiteness. That isn't to say they don't also have disadvantages too, for instance poverty, disability etc.
Having white skin though gives you an advantage in a system that prioritises whiteness over other colours. Its not racist to discuss this.
>Funny that all these Middle Eastern rulers follow the same pattern of tyrannical rule and are undone by it when they are eventually taken down tyrannically by much bigger tyrants
You mean Funny that all these Middle Eastern rulers are propped up by the West and only replaced when its politically expedient.
