Agreed...

Sometimes it feels like the site is being astroturfed with progressive / class warfare type messages.

Othertimes I feel it's just the same old "eternal september" problem but with techies, a bunch of young idealistic kids fresh out of college who tend to think in black and white terms of "us" vs "them". I remember being this way as a teenager, not quite sure when I grew out of it.

I remember listening to punk rock and advocating for "anarchy" etc (I'm sure I got the idea listening to too much Sex Pistols)... SMH... We all took ourselves and our political views sooooo seriously at that age.... Thank god no one was listening to me back then. The difference between then and now is that my conversations were in person and shared amongst a few high school kids, now they're broadcast to the world, commented on, and amplified.

The more I think about it, I'm hoping its just kids being kids.
