Erik R. This is either going to be Reddit for very smart people, or Twitter for the alt right. Let's see which way it goes.

😾 Oskar Is HN crowd alt-right? I see frustration brewing there often, but it's more of a 'I'm stuck at coding embedded sys for oil company at 240k/yr' kind of a thing than 'I hate poor people'

Jayden I would say that a low percentage of HN is alt right but that both HN and the alt right are largely overly online young men. The thing is you don't need much political extreme to start a landslide in one direction. Things are a little more X here than elsewhere, some people that don't like that leave, some people that do like that show up because of it, things are even more X, repeat.

Mihail I like to think of them - as a group - as people with above average intelligence who value critical thinking above all else. A certain degree of liberalism on social issues, emphasis on individual & economic freedom, aversion to political correctness. The best of all worlds really.

Ice don't know what the culture is here on short trivial replies but: lmao
