Are HN readers not allowed to express pity (assuming this is what is happening here) via their interests?

I can understand not having much sympathy for criminals (not as individuals, but as a generic group) but a worldview that abolishes pity for underclasses (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17630121, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17630115) is going to take a little more explaining before a sizable number of HNers embrace it.

Does "I'm not among them" not suffice? Sheesh.

No, because corruption in society increases the probability that you will be among them at some point.

I don't understand. I'm not trying to troll here.

Personal attacks, flamebait, and acerbic sprinkles ("oh please", "sigh", "yawn", etc.) are not ok. Please post civilly and substantively, or not at all.
