In response to ideology. Are you implying HN is supposed to be ideology free? Hacker News is a place created by a VC firm. This is already a place with deep ideology of pro-capitalism. As an anti-capitalist I can't help but have my own opinions and interests be colored by my beliefs. Just as you can't help to have yours colored too.
For example, what does capitalism have to do with the US prison system, and why would I as an anti-capitalist be against prison systems?
- tptacek 11y agoI am not at all implying that commenters on HN must avoid having ideologies. There is nothing at all wrong with being opposed to capitalism; many productive HN commenters are.
