Most of the people on this site are hard left, and not very much into hacking... there are junior developers and wannabe CEOs with MBAs here. You're not going to find cypherpunks on hacker news, generally.

So, anything that fits the hard left agenda is promoted, without regard to its scientific or technical accuracy, even when it's against the startup ethos that created silicon valley in the first place.

Please stop your continuous stream of personal attacks and your rants against the 'left', which besides lowering the general level of discourse is factually incorrect in many ways.

My girlfriend self-describes as a revolutionary Marxist. Trust me when I say I have yet to see a single genuinely “hard left” comment on Hacker News.

You could use less spite and disdain for your comment i think. You probably already know that convincing yourself that your outgroup is dumb and unqualified is a tribal ego-boosting technique, but a reminder never hurt.
