A childhood friend has become very angry about tax exemptions for religious organizations. Curiously, he's not at all bothered by tax exemptions for the NFL, the NRA or other organizations. It's pretty obvious that he's not actually angry about the tax exemptions, it's the religious organizations he doesn't like. Similarly, there are many stories on HN by people who are very angry about the energy usage of Bitcoin. Curiously, they're not at all bothered by far greater wastes of energy from other technologies and industries. It's pretty obvious they're not actually angry about the energy use, it's Bitcoin they don't like.
