Very much so, yes. Anarcho-capitalist is the prevailing economic inclination of most people on HN. On the social scale, it seems more evenly split between progressive, conservative, with some reactionaries here and there.
Mapping that on the stupid US blue vs red scale is downright impossible.
- logicalmonster 4y ago> Anarcho-capitalist is the prevailing economic inclination of most people on HN. Most people? What? You're entitled to any perception of reality that you want, but I find it hard to believe that anybody can genuinely perceive ancaps to be the prevailing economic opinion here.
- sofixa 4y agoWell that's just the impression i get, it's not like we can have actual data on the matter. But every discussion I've seen where economics have been brought up, anti-regulation, pro-business, "free market will fix everything", "all the problems come from the regulation and because it's not a true free market" opinions seem to be the majority. Regardless of the topic - be it environmental regulations, monetary policies, the amount of work required to open a restaurant, EU regulatory work against Bit Tech or other oligopolies, etc.
- thaneross 4y agoI'm not sure they are the majority opinion but I agree they are common. It's not surprising given the number of CEOs and venture capitalists on the site.
