I mean, how much more capitalist can one get than VC? They rely on this very status quo to make money. Of course they're not going to oppose it.

Capital is more fungible than ideologies, I guess. Shrug.
We the community have every ability to make another forum with different biases, but well, this one is their free service, and this one is where the discussions are at. They don't owe us anything. If anything, they're probably more tolerant of opposing commentary than an anti-capitalist forum would be of their participation.
