Speaking against nuclear energy on HN is like burning the Quran in Saudi Arabia.

The level of group think and indoctrination is hilarious.




Meta: If everyone else is downvoting your comment, the problem is definitely with everyone else, rather than with the content, style or factuality of your comment...


Meta meta: if everyone upvotes your comment, it's definitely because it's a correct argumentation rather than just confirmation bias.


Put that's kinda the point right. Downvote is now a mix of not liking how someone writes and opinion?

I get downvoting because of the Quran comment. However to apply your comment "something wrong" to an opinion sounds weird.


The group-think around nuclear power on HN is indistinguishable from religious fervor and doesn't agree with average public opinions in any countries I know of. Certainly not Germany...


Please don't break the site guidelines like this or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35711703. No matter how right you are or feel you are, posts like that are abusive and only make things worse.

As for the community: it's clearly divided on this topic. Each side on any divisive topic complains bitterly about the other side and how it supposedly dominates HN. These perceptions are the product of cognitive bias plus ideological passion, and the comments they lead to are mostly flamewar noise. If you'd please avoid that, and stick to either (1) posting substantive, thoughtful, respectful comments or (2) not posting, we'd appreciate it.
