You must be browsing a different HN than I am. On my HN, there's a lot of support for unions, including voices advocating for software developers to unionize while we're still in position of power over employers.

Ehhh, I still see lots of irrational hatred for unions. There is starting to be more support for labor, but this is still primarily a startup forum, so capital is still idolized.

I don't see that at all. It's very right wing economically and anti-labor.

I'm guessing most of HN is Engineers making loads of money who don't have to think about struggling in any sense when it's a reality that 78% of people in USA are living paycheck to paycheck.

Edit: I even see the HN anti-union comment flagged because again, HN is anti-union and anti-labor.

Again, we must be living in alternate universes, which somehow collided and started mixing in this HN thread. The HN in my universe has plenty of pro-labor and left-wing comments as well.

Or maybe it's a timezone thing? I'm in Europe, I tend to browse HN during our days and evenings. Maybe the threads visited by most Americans show up as I go to sleep, and disappear from the front page before I wake up?
