  > the alternative is strong men using cruelty to extract wealth at any cost. That sounds like America now...

    Go to Africa to see wealth extracted at any cost. Economic and environmental devastation and lots of otherwise preventable suffering.

  Please don't fulminate, use HN for political or ideological battle, post in the flamewar style (including nationalistic flamewar, god help us), or take threads on generic tangents, especially generic ideological ones. (Oh, and one more thing: or use allcaps for emphasis). All this is in the site guidelines—would you mind reviewing them, and sticking to the rules when posting here? We'd appreciate it. The idea on HN is curious conversation. Comments like the one you posted one, and the others you posted to this thread, nuke that. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  > Democracy forever. Human rights forever. Freedom of speech, commerce, association and religion forever. Are you familiar with the Economist? They were saying this stuff in 1843, way before it became popular. They're the real deal!
