Hm? Would you mind expanding on why and how you feel my piece is hyperpartisan? I'm neither a leftist nor particularly sympathetic to them; my own economic preferences usually lie pretty firmly in the neoliberal camp. Your comment seems to be calling my piece a "communist diatribe", and I'm struggling to see where you got that impression.
Imagine if HN could have pro-free market articles in the same volume as submissions like this. Every day there's a submission from Jacobin, The Guardian or something truly partisan (some might say deranged) like this Medium write up. Yet, laissez-faire articles are immediately flagged. The comments fill with drivel about Koch brothers or "the oil companies funded this".
>We need better alternatives to Reddit, or Reddit needs to fix the mess because the post/comment quality there is straight trash there. All the default homepage subreddits are trash.
Yes HN, a site for entrepreneurs. A site for people who like to build stuff, ideally profitable things which can sustain them. A site with only one homepage for both people who would like to build. HN, a site not just for visionaries and entrepreneurs, but also those who demand that work is slavery?
When I say 'not just for', I should clarify. The site's editorial position is to promote these communist diatribes and shadow ban mises.org.
