Can you please not (a) post in the flamewar style to HN, or (b) use HN for political flamewar? You're breaking the site guidelines badly here.

We don't need you to change your views but we do need you to present them thoughtfully and respectfully, if you want to participate here.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site to heart, we'd be grateful.

Got it. That's not the intent, but have to call out the comment preceding mine which is ad hominem and insulting individuals without providing any substance for discussion.
I didn't see that comment. I've responded now. We don't always read the threads sequentially.

But in any case, other commenters breaking the rules doesn't make it ok for you to break them. (I don't mean you personally there, I mean any of us.) That's just a recipe for a downward spiral (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). Also, you broke them in several places, not just that one.
