This has to be the biggest pile of horseshit I've read on HN recently. It's cool if you're not a left-winger yourself, but don't make shit up and then subsequently complain that people aren't treating you fairly because you provide a link elsewhere in your comment and are therefore 'sourced'.

Similarly, the "this is going to be downvoted" is a very adolescent way of debating. If you're upvoted, you 'win', because you scored well, and if you're downvoted, you 'win', because 'I called it; you're all a bunch of reactionaries'.

If you actually want a proper discussion, don't pre-shame your opponents.
