And here is my comment, downvoted to 0 and hidden to grey, and people who dislike me and go to my thread and downvote all my past posts by 1.

Ignore me, dismiss me, whatever. But the censorious culture of the Bay Area is the very opposite of the (pretty neat and good) hippy dippy free culture of the 60s. It's the reason people are leaving, because their free-wheeling ideas are encouraged elsewhere.

Myself... I'm actually going to go up-vote you, just so people can for sure absolutely see your bitter ad-hominem attack.

You clearly don't know what "left-wing" means if you think that a bunch of upper middle class highly compensated engineers are that... Actual "left-wing" comments on HN are generally downvoted quite intensely.

EDIT: I just want to add how ... odd... it is to slap a "left wing" accusation about YC-backed companies as we sit here on a thread talking about a YC-backed company that was basically a loan-shark pay-day lender. WTF? That's left-wing? Ok then.

That payday lender was founded with a left-wing banner of disrupting the status quo of lending. YC wouldn’t have funded someone if they were just like, “yeah, we want to start a payday lender.”

Yeah that for sure sounds just like seizing the means of production and workers of the world unite.

A comment that is grayed out..
