I think you're being oversensitive or just looking for a fight if you detect even a hint of "culture war talking points" in my comment.

It's hard for me to read '"Regulations bad" is a pretty common platitude around here but you've stated your main thesis, here, without a hint of support to back it.' as anything more than that.

  • It's an observation about prevailing libertarian values in the HN community that tend to attract upvotes while going unchallenged.

    If you consider that part of a "culture war", then it seems that term has lost all meaning. Might as well just accuse me of being "woke" and get it over with.

    • I think this forum has a lot of values and don't think it's been libertarian in outlook in a long time based on what gets upvoted here so appealing to that is a bit silly but anyway I don't think this is a fruitful conversation so have a good day.
