I see the exact same kinds of comments I find at Reddit. And I already know where to find those kinds of comments. I probably see someone blame inequality on the Fed about once a day, for example. It's a slippery slope, but more and more the politics that has completely devoured American culture is beginning to consume this site as well. I am completely sympathetic to the idea that inequality is a problem, but HN used to be one of the few sites with substantive discussions that you could get away from politics. It's still mostly that, but that has been slipping away over the last few months. And that is a genuine tragedy in an angry and divided world.
