All these “War on” political grandstanding does is kill a lot of people, increase a lot of taxes and inflate the poor into destitution.

War on Drugs. War on Terror. War on Cancer.

Same pig but different shades of lipstick.

US govt has become unbelievably bloated and overreaches every aspect of life today.

Slogans like these help them keep expanding and hurting the people.

Please don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents. They're repetitive and tedious. More here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29666852.

Edit: you've unfortunately been posting a ton like this (unsubstantive flamebait and name-calling). Please don't! We're trying for a different sort of forum.

It’s not a tangent. It’s how these things turn out.

If you want to silence people speaking their minds and instead of humming along and cheer your neo-communist vision of the future.

Then by all means go ahead and cancel me.

Keep your precious silicon valley socialist/totalitarian club to yourself.

One of these is not like the others.
