the greatest wealth concentration and inequity in american history, blatant corruption and nepotism

an out of control, bipartisan oligarchy

The majority of HN has been on the winning side of this equation, benefiting greatly from the rise of the computer, internet, and now Ai. This is not most people, we forget about them, we tell them it's their own fault when it is not. The game is not fair, it's rigged for most humans.

Funny how within 4 comments we've went from mundane tech news to communist political philosophers

  • What about OP's comment rings communistic, or even political to you? Or is it the link between information control and wealth consolidation that you find controversial?

    • I have clearly never claimed that OP is a communist, you're misinterpreting

      He did, however, recommend an author at the end of his comment, and that's whom I was referring to when I said "communist political philosopher"
