Such comments get flagged because they don't make a substantive point (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). You could add substance by, for instance, talking about some steps that could be taken to improve things.
- eucitizen2x 8y agoFunnily enough, the thread got flagged now. But just to verify: Asserting a bad state of affairs and pointing out possible sources of error (ie ideology) does not merit a comment? Do I always need to somehow provide a solution? This seems reductionist to me. A way of life, a way of thinking is not an engineering problem. Trying to find a common language to tackle difficult societal problems is the first step in my view. That’s why I keep throwing in my point of view even though HN does really not like thinking about ideology inherent to disruptive™️ entrepreneurship™️ economics of 2018.
