Maybe you could explain why each comment doesn't have value by, I don't know, responding to them instead of a blanket statement encouraging the brigading of every single comment in this thread (which is what's happening, given the almost universal amount of grey appearing in this thread)
- fragmede 7y agoCertain topics, combined with the (relatively) low bar in order to comment, and an intellectually dishonest approach that drive-by commenters may take, make HN a very poor place for such topics (as you noted, given the amount of 'grey'). For those who have not yet been exposed to a particular topic that has those characteristics, such a warning is prudent, and appreciated. Whether it's even possible to have constructive discussions on some topics on the wider Internet at all, remains to be seen.
- TomMckenny 7y agoThe title contains the words "Marxism" and "intellectual". There are far too many anti-intellectual cold-warriors here that have access to the down vote to have a reasonable conversation on what is really just a philosophic opinion on the matter. So this thread innately ends up being troll bait.
