I feel smell of leftism from keywords "equality" and "justice".
You don't need machine learning to automatically spot social democrats (they have almost the same rhetoric as socialists), a simple python script is more than enough.
By the way, what this article is doing on HN?
- jnbiche 10y agoYour heuristic failed here. The writer here opposes raising taxes and even uses the favored fiscal-conservative term "expropriation" (her words: "expropriation is a one-time trick"). She exalts Adam Smith and the free market. She's no social democrat.
- hal9000xp 10y agoYou are probably right, may be I was wrong on this article. In particular, I agree on this: "Raising low productivity by enabling human creativity is what has mainly worked. By contrast, taking from the rich and giving to the poor helps only a little — and anyway expropriation is a one-time trick. Enrichment from market-tested betterment will go on and on and, over the next century or so, will bring comfort in essentials to virtually everyone on the planet, and more to an expanding middle class." Till recently, I spent time and actually read articles on NYT (or similar) even if they had some keywords in title. And almost always, I found that author is supporter of labour party or Bernie Sanders or something like this. This time, I was probably mistaken.
