Are HN readers not allowed to express pity (assuming this is what is happening here) via their interests?
I can understand not having much sympathy for criminals (not as individuals, but as a generic group) but a worldview that abolishes pity for underclasses (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17630121 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17630121, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17630115 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17630115) is going to take a little more explaining before a sizable number of HNers embrace it.
