Sorry bro, I forgot that it is verboten to point out the rampant right-wing / libertarian philosophy which took over HN as the YC bros got wealthier and wealthier.

Yes massah, we have a really nice pseudo-intellectual, crypto-fascist bulletin board here massah!

11th commandment: Though shall not suggest that a bunch of upper middle-class white American tech bros cannot solve all the world's problems with greed.

Well that was a little unexpected! I happened to write a long response to a similar comment yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25922311. I don't suppose it will convince you but a guy can dream.

The short version is that what you've posted here is actually the same, even though it seems opposite on the surface, as how people with one ideological bit flipped call HN a "leftist SJW and socialist haven", "always politically left", "they don't like conservative opinions here", "a liberal echo chamber", "the HN crowd is mostly woke", "heavily leaning to the left", "HN has a very anti-libertarian echo chamber", "HN has a heavy socialist lean, you are not allowed to have a differing perspective", "dang is an SJW cunt", and "any thought that differs from SV, left-leaning orthodoxy, is instantly flagged, downvoted, or deleted".
