Possibly the worst defense yet of Garry Tan’s tweeting of death threats towards San Francisco’s elected legislature. In yet more evidence for my “HN is a Nazi bar” thesis, this take is from an otherwise-respected cryptographer and security researcher. Choice quote:
sorry, but 2Pac is now dad music, I don’t make the rules
Best sneer so far is this comment, which links to this Key & Peele sketch about violent rap lyrics in the context of gang violence.
Aaaand the top comment shares the exact same sentiment I do 🤷
you’ll never guess what happened to the top commenter’s posting privileges when they brought that kneejerk “uhh it’s flagged now what’s the problem” shit here, as if the orange site’s constant attempts to bury fash shit like this by abusing flagging (an anti-spam measure) has any impact on us being able to sneer at it, especially when a supposedly respected account like tptacek goes fucking mask off
Look it is no problem the nazis are in this bar, every time they shout nazi shit we just turn up the music louder. Any posters they put up we put into places with bad lighting and a ‘we disagree with this’ sign. I don’t get why you filthy techtake sneerclubbers who are to blame to for covid [this is not an insult it is a reference!] keep calling us a nazi bar.
