The problem is thay it&#x27;s not even as extreme as the kkk, if your opinions don&#x27;t mesh with the current progressive groupthink, you will be downvoted, ignored, and bullied.<p>The same happens to a lesser extent on HN, but without the bullying.<p>The end result is content that leans in only one direction because everyone else has been silenced, they don&#x27;t bother posting, or they left.<p>The irony is that this behavior is exactly what progressives have claimed to be fighting (discrimination and online bullying)<p>Edit:  haha, the ironic downvoting happened fast.
