The Frankfurt school is a set of communist revolutionaries who promoted “critical theories” as their methodology of fomenting civil unrest and social breakdown to bring about Marxist revolution. When the Germans chased them out by preferring literal Nazis, they settled in the US and performed the same schtick — most recently with “critical race theory” and “critical queer theory”, both of which have increased division in US society and undermined social progress, such as civil rights. Eg, “critical race theory” promotes continued organized racism against Asians while promoting grievance myths which encourage terrorism. As seen in the burning of dozens of cities and dozens of murders and institutions such as Harvard arguing before the Supreme Court they’re allowed to discriminate against Asians.

@dang has been explicit that they deem certain topics “inherent flame wars” and ban discussion because it upsets people. Certain ideas aren’t allowed here — even when calmly stated and cited with evidence. For example, citing the clip of the BLM founder saying she’s a “trained Marxist” would get you banned: HN was in flat out denial, even though it was her own words on film [1]. She is literally answering a question about the ideology behind BLM. Unfortunately, that kind of censorship enabled BLM to commit the fraud they did [2]. [1] - [VIDEO] [2] - [LINK]

Duh? The NYT writes hit pieces for the establishment; social media (including HN) uses shadowbans to enforce narrative conformity. Manipulation is the norm. Case in point: I was shadowbanned on HN for linking to a video where the BLM founder described BLM as a Marxist organization. It’s her own words: [VIDEO] The reason the NYT sees a radical conspiracy behind every bush is that’s how communists act — and the NYT staff are projecting.
