That, understandably, is harder than usual for the HN community. Dismissing the article as "bitter" or "angry", as many comments on this page are doing, is hardly a refutation, and comes off as tit-for-tat bitterness and anger. Furthermore the HN community has no problem with bitterness and anger when it aligns with the ethos here. For example there's plenty of anger at government regulation, or at GitHub's new Code of Conduct[1].
Another example is this community's reaction to charges of sexism within tech culture. While many HN commenters agree that this is a real problem, many commenters here and on other tech publications again label women as "bitter" and "angry". To me that's very troubling.

The author of the article is essentially just lambasting someone that wrote from quite an abrasive and privileged (and often factually problematic) perspective in a blog post. And conflated it with both soylent the company and "tech" and "hipster" culture. And he basically tells them they're going to die because they're out of touch and will be put up on the wall in a firing line.
I find it hard to read that kind of bombast fairly, and even putting that aside, really don't find any kind of insight in the article whatsoever.
I think that's the key. You see a conflation, and I see the connection.
(FWIW I voted up your comment even though we disagree. I appreciate your good faith.)
