Your usage of the concept of "institution" is akin to hand-waving mysticism warning us of the dangers of the devil. You haven't actually precisely defined it outside of some vague "choose-your-own-adventure"…
To the audience, like I care about HackerNews points, down vote me to oblivion, plebiscite. To address your point, you say social justice doesn't claim everyone is racist, and them you say the racism is institutional...…
This is how social justice (everyone is racist and must atone) and Catholicism (everyone has sinned and must atone) works. This has been know for centuries.
Upboating to save you from the humorless neo-Victorian nationalists that have dominated HackerNews.
There was this one time I was watched a whole bunch of old media agitprop reciting various tropes on how things should be and when I did what TV told me to do, people responded negatively! It doesn't matter if those…
Competition heats up as programming languages get easier... and people obsess over being accepted by their peers? We learned from punch cards, through flame wars, and when being a nerd was actually a bad thing to your…
Failing to see why pop morality is on HackerNews?
I never said negotiations SHOULD be between two people. I said that they are. Tell me, when is the last time you engaged in a negotiation with more than one person at the same time? And if you did, why are you…
So you believe that corporations are people and that individuals with low skill sets and spare time even know how to represent, let alone index, what their best interests actually area? And if you think mythical unicorn…
It's low enough that robots will do it in 5 years. No amount of down votes is going to stop that. Lol @ hacker news burying this obvious technical advancement in the name of mythical unicorn unionism.

So taxi drivers are going back to their native countries at the end of every shift? Unions, especially service unions revolving around local physical transportation, depend entirely on nationalism. Without a sympathetic…
Can HackerNews please stop sympathizing with nationalist unions? The perpetual civil war that was the 20th century ended quite some time ago. You can stop fighting those battles now. The losers of that fight have been…
It means the internet allows people to communicate, share ideas, and form cultural bonds and identities outside of the highly-restricted context of national frameworks.
This is technically correct in concept, but not in practice, as organized religion existed long before the formalization of the nation-state. In fact, one can even argue that nationalism is an agnostic subdivision of…
If I wanted to read crypto-nationalist tone policing like that, I'd have stayed on Tumblr.
What's even more problematic is that you have been downvoted on a community that was founded by people who participated in building the tech responsible for forging history's first self-sustaining post-nationalist…
Half-hearted attempt by the collapsing mass media machine to conflate shitty attempts at DNS filtering as the next SOPA in the hopes the "angry poli-tech" types will run with it to drown out the fact that a darling…

A simple one that can be summarized as "Survival first. Then morality." Equality is a social construct. It don't actually exist in the universe at any scope whatsoever. The quantum, molecular, biological, ecological,…

Because that would make you... a believer of an out-of-touch white middle class moral framework that has failed to predict anything.
Are you going to factor in China and India from the same time period?
Globalism works due to inequality. Nationalism works due to inequality. Tribalism works due to inequality. The dirty secret of civilization is that someone has to dig the graves. Why pretend it's an evil from your…
Bombastic click bait morality. IPhones are affordable because of wealth inequality. Oil is cheap because of wealth inequality. Organic food is purchasable because of wealth inequality. Hipster clothes can be owned…
