> Please don’t trivialize the suffering of others for the use of your argument.
I believe the people sent to a gulag would dislike more people not eschewing the sanctity of a internet forum, than someone 'trivializing' their suffering by using them for argument about how their situation should be discussed in said forum.
The value is that right now a HN user on a visa could be disappeared in to dungeon for months for political speech if Marco Rubio's goons notice him.
The spirit of HN guidelines still exist. What value do you believe is derived from a discussion like this?
