Personal attacks do not belong on hacker news.

  How is what I said a personal attack? I sincerely hope that someone with such little regard for the environment and therefore the future of this planet isn't someone who is willingly bringing more humans to it. That isn't a personal attack but rather my personal belief on the matter.

    That's called bigotry. And yes, it was a personal attack.

  How absolutely pathetic is it that the above 3 comments, all showing care and empathy for non-human life, are massively downvoted? The state of this community.

    Conservation absolutely is nothing to do with care and empathy for non-human life. The proof is that one of the main tools of conservationists is mechanical and chemical killing machines to help them kill and even exterminate all the non-human life that they deem unworthy. Please don't confuse caring about life with caring about the environment. The two feelings are in direct conflict.

    The old guard on Hacker News is comprised of absolutely terrible people. I was here 12+ years ago and HN has always sucked, but it's been driven into the ground by the mods coddling these goofy man-boy dipshits, whose idea of success is writing widgets at a FAANG in the furtherance of the destruction of society. I stopped constructively posting here many years ago. It's just too much work to correct the endless list of preposterously stupid things said on this website.
