Pretending that one can live in a world that isn't deeply political requires a massive amount of privilege, ignorance, or both. Discussing those who are left out or even harmed by the economic and technologic trends that our industry contributes to is a lot more important, valuable, and relevant than reading about some kid's failed startups again and again.
- davidw 13y agoWho said the world isn't political? Did I say that? Did I say I don't care about politics? Pretending that Hacker News is the whole world is kind of bizarre. I do not appreciate your condescending attitude.
- dannypgh 13y agoMy criticism is of the idea of a "no politics" (overt or otherwise) policy, not you for pointing it out. Said policy on a news site backed by entities with serious capital who work to change the world is troubling. Sorry for the confusion.
