As I said I think it's a bad piece because it uses cheap rhetorical devices rather than providing a nuanced view of the subject. And, as I also said, I don't think this kind of angled article is appropriate if articles from the other angles of the same subject aren't being presented on HN.
Those who upvoted it probably have a different view or they don't think the quality of the article matters as long as they agree with it.
You can find almost every opinion possible on the Internet. They have no value unless there's an argument behind them. I'm not going to write an essay for deaf ears, but I did express my opinion with initial argumentation. So don't act like I didn't and there's nothing to refute.
Edit: I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as it's grey at the bottom of the page. Talk about tolerance.
