The author does a pretty comprehensive job explaining why they’re not advocating a leftist revolution. This isn’t a leftist essay.

> Nothing is being "hidden" and waiting won't stop any later state investigations.

This contradicts public statements made by MPD.

Typst is lovely.

Persistence of memory—limited deletion of old comments, easy searching through archives—is a key feature of HN that distinguishes it from other forums.

I think it’s worth noting that he doesn’t believe that his mind has changed.

> BTW - I come to hacker news to learn about entrepreneurs, programming, etc... not to argue politics. Let's go back to what this forum is for.

Most of your recent submissions and comments are political. I invite you to go back to posting about entrepreneurs, programming, and etc. if that’s what you’d rather be doing.

It’s remarkable that such a short blog post can contain so many factual inaccuracies and completely wrong advice. Police in America have no obligation to assist victims and no duty to detain criminals.

Actual advice for avoiding police violence in the US: avoid police interactions, move away from cities, stay away from public spaces, and reduce time spent driving.

> ...wait for American people to wake up and replace Trump in two years from now ...

Probably not going to happen. Too much of the American economy depends on the massive grift continuing. The average citizen’s impact on policy before 2016 was already quite small; today it’s practically infinitesimal.

> Maduro and his top people have all been indicted by the United States for narco-terrorism and other charges, and there is a $50 million reward for his capture by the U.S. government. Maduro lost the last election and he has tanked the economy, but kept in power anyway and as a result millions of Venezuelans have entered the US. Should we arrest Maduro and take him to the U.S. to face trial or not try to arrest him? Given this situation on the ground, should the president of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro be removed from office or not?

This is the very definition of a leading question, with extremely slanted language at that. Judging by others instances of this in the poll, I can’t take this pollster seriously.

It really bums me out that you’re apparently still rate-limited, I always appreciate a giraffe-lady thread.
