A hard right turn into politics would benefit quite a lot of HN readers...

The anti-capitalism movement is completely misguided. Capitalism has improved the human condition immeasurably! Every other system tried recently has failed miserably.

Is capitalism perfect? No, so let's work on improving it, in the face of robotics and AI!

The future is bright, if we go energy-intensive and break out into the larger Solar System! Otherwise, we face stagnation and decline...and likely a global catastrophe.

I'm a capitalist but I am not a billionaire sympathizer. Capitalism needs curbs just like every human concept ever invented. It's not a panacea.

This 'improvement' is what tech sold us these last two decades. What we got was struggle gig work and tech bro's pushing eachother out of the way to be first to endorse Project 2025. And NFTs, man that sure improved things.

Also 'we have to keep what we're doing because if we don't the earth will be destroyed because of what I want us to keep doing' isn't the best selling point.

i disagree, profoundly. 500 years of nation-state politics can be boiled down to "can we come up with a fair system for self-rule, or shall we have more kings" the right wing answer is always another king. hell, lenin was the czar who killed the czar before him and got popular support by pretending to be populist. what is communist about him and his buddies eating caviar while the peasants starved?

fix the system, don't rig the system, and "fuck the system" and anti gubment anti UN nonsense just plays into the monarchists hands.

right is and will always be WRONG. LEFT is just a wishlist, utopian general vector of where to go, but never achieved.

there, i fixed your brain, now wake up and spread the word.

Fascism will not settle in without some serious mass violence. I’m not sure even the most conservative HN readers are prepared for that.
