When did so many on Hacker News become so pathetically fatalistic? I expect this from spoiled teenagers, not hackers of all people.

That position isn't fatalistic. The barriers to a political solution leave open the potential for a technical one, which is just what you would expect from a hacker.

Alright, lads, we can't rely on the government for this one, how are we going to do it?

hackers can have white-collar jobs, too. maybe that even provides a different perspective for the hackers who aren't employed professionally
