alt Hacker NewsNice attempt at gaslighting.
If Andrew only wrote “I object to murder” we wouldn't have this discussion. We're here because he wrote “Abolish ICE” instead. That's not denouncing murder, it's denouncing federal immigration law.
The woke don't object to murder. They cheered the murder of Charlie Kirk, they lamented the assassination attempts on Donald Trump because they _failed_, they celebrate Luigi Mangione as a martyr for their cause. Has Andrew ever used the Zig programming blog to condemn any of these (attempted) murders? I bet he hasn't—but feel free to prove me wrong!
So it's pretty clear that Andrew, just like most of the woke, doesn't object to murder. He loves murder. He only objects to democracy, to the rule of law, to the majority of Americans who don't support illegal immigration to the extent that he does.
If Andrew wants to use his programming language to take a stand against murder, he is welcome to do so! He has chosen to never do it. He has only used his platform to push woke politics, by supporting illegal immigration, and opposing law enforcement.

Denouncing ICE is not denouncing federal immigration law. The Department of Homeland Security did not exist until 2003. Are you saying that prior to 2003, the US did not enforce federal immigration law?
“Pushing politics is explicitly against the Hacker News guidelines though.”
Cool tirade.
I just want to say that I agree completely with you here. I had a suspicion of what kind of person Andrew was when I saw him with colored hair (so called 'danger hair') and basically knew it was over.

Gaslighting?
You were ranting about how Alex Pretti's murder was justified just a few comments up.
STFU.

Objecting to murder is still politics, no? In fact, US republicans and democrats can't seem to agree who is fine to murder.
Republicans say that abortions are murder, but often also that prisoner executions are fine. Democrats tend to be in favor of abortions, but not of the death penalty.
I'm not making a moral judgement here, but I do want to ask. Is it just politics you don't agree with that you don't want Andrew to express?
