>Not every occurrence in the world needs to be leveraged to air political grievances.

But the article is rich with political subtext; the idea that society is declining due to unreasonably soft-hearted attitudes towards undesirables is a fundamental anti-progressive pillar. The author is completely aware of these political lines and directly references them.

Counterpoint - why would you expect articles on a media website funded out of pocket by a hedge fund billionaire with a penchant for political lobbying to be neutral? What's in it for the billionaire?

Gasp! Billionaires! And they have their own website which people can post links to! Gasp again!

Those dastardly billionaires with their media websites.

If only I had known this website was run by evil billionaires I could have found some other website to read links people post about tech stuff.

You have added nothing of substance to the thread.

Thanks for admitting you have nothing to say; I love comments that consist of nothing but sarcasm for that reason alone.

Please continue.

Gosh, you sound like a guy with a political grievance. Why are you bringing that to a simple statement about who paid for an article?
