I'd like some of them in here, but you're a troll. Or maybe we're the "fucking morons." Oh well, mods in California will be awake soon enough.

Need a safe space?

Actually you posted so much of this that I've banned your account until we get a commitment to use HN as intended. You're welcome to email us at hn@ycombinator.com if you want to do this.

You mean like a forum with certain rules of civility? Yea, I guess so, welcome to our "safe space."

Would you please stop making HN worse just because other people are? I know how tempting it is but in the end these comments are just as much the problem as the others.

The amount of comments on this thread decrying 'socialism' with very pithy comments is concerning. I guess the whole internet is infected with trolls now, especially political ones...

I am actually a bit concerned with how this reached the top page with so many low effort comments. Regardless of whether it is the case that socialist policies are responsible for this situation, it’s weird that there are a sudden upswing in the strange, almost sneering style of comment that is littering the comment area. I almost expect a list of Wikipedia links about Zimbabwe and other countries to follow.

It's a co-creation by ideological enemies who resemble each other more than anyone else and drag the whole discussion down with them.

In such a swamp, a good conversation is too much to expect. We need drier, more boring ground as a first condition.
