That word has completely lost all meaning and historical context at this point, hasn't it?

How about authoritarianism?

If anything, localities voting out incumbents is an example that the US is anything but totalitarian.

I wish people would actually do some reading before spouting BS on anonymous online forums.

Nationalistic attacks are not ok on HN, regardless of which country you have a problem with. No more of this, please.

It is absolutely insane how hard-left this forum has gotten just in the past 2 years.

HN has always leaned left because of the super majority of tech being concentrated in the SF Bay area which is one of the leftiest parts of the country.

However, it is absolutely DISGUSTING the amount of people that are 100% in favor eternal mask mandates, lockdowns and forced vaccinations, a.k.a. VIOLENCE. All the people on this site advocating for that VIOLENCE should be ashamed of themselves.
