I say this sincerely: The userbase here actually isn't that different from Reddit.

There's a slightly heavier technical leaning, but otherwise most political and social positions are essentially Reddit perhaps owing to Silicon Valley roots and culture.

It's more like 2011 reddit when the commenters there were preoccupied with bitcoin, the age of consent, and ron paul. Reddit is too big and mainstream for a political consensus now.
Honestly, I find the comments on HN to be generally more right-leaning and neo liberal than on Reddit. It's very weird and very frustrating, especially when today the right means things like denying healthcare to people and taking away womens' rights.
Your comment on hackernews arguing that hackernews comments don’t sound like Reddit comments sounds exactly like a comment I would expect to read on Reddit.
