Isn't this a tech news site?
replyDid you click on the link? It's a pretty amazing technological investigation.
replyEven just technologically it's more interesting than 90% of the stuff posted here.
this is prime material for HN to flag...
replyIf we can't flag it, make it disappear from the front page.

Is there an HN but for anarchists? Or maybe just anti-authoritarians?
replyThere's 4chan but for leftists (leftypol) and there's reddit for leftists (lemmy or raddle). I'd also argue Mastodon is kind of twitter for leftists/hackers
replyThe Atlantic? I kid. I really mean Al-Jazeera.
replyI think The Atlantic is actually pretty close to the mark. Committed, hardcore ideologues frequently turn out to be authoritarian, even if they refer to themselves as "anarchists". Most of these ideologues are busy administering ever more stringent purity tests to anyone they encounter lest someone in their vicinity commit wrongthink.
replyThere is a name for people who build coalitions through compromise and diplomacy, and work towards pragmatic solutions to actual problems — they're called "centrists".
There are no anti-authoritarian news outlets in Qatar, for obvious reasons.
replyOf course, that's because Qatar actually is an authoritarian state, unlike the US. It hasn't stopped Al-Jazeera from challenging the authority of other nations or claiming that they are authoritarian. Pot, meet kettle and all that.

reply> No, it’s not. And I gladly flagged it.

replySo you don’t think anyone should discuss topics that touch on politics, including this war, on HN?

replyOh no, we shouldn't talk about war crimes because the iPhone I'm tapping my words into has some tech from the nation committing those war crimes. I should be more THANKFUL!
