Downvotes are because you aren't taking the author at face value because it appears you have an agenda.
> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

- DoreenMichele 5y agoIt's not an idealogical battle. And you aren't the mod.
- ketamine__ 5y agoIt has nothing to do with the article and it is idealogical. I never claimed to be a mod.
- DoreenMichele 5y agoDefinition of idealogical: based on or relating to a system of ideas and ideals, especially concerning economic or political theory and policy. I'm not talking about ideology or political theory. I'm talking about "If a specific person's life is in the toilet due to social crap they have no power to fix, it gets pretty fucking depressing. And often it's vastly more socially acceptable to say I'm depressed than to say I'm oppressed and being denied opportunity for BS reasons" If you aren't the mod, quoting guidelines at me like I'm behaving badly when I'm not is a PC form of ad hominem. Ad hominems are also against the guidelines, FYI. I know the guidelines. I've been a member for more than a decade.
