You gotta check downthread a bit where someone else straight admits it, but also just remember that overall the group on HN is much wealthier than average, some truly so.
Plenty of people here are legitimately not part of the working class even in a technical sense. eg they do not sell their labor, but are supported by exploiting surplus labor of workers.
It's entirely possible the person you're responding to is an asset owner, and is correct and sincere. If you depend on exploiting workers then worker power must be scary as hell!
Absolutely right that many people here are quite wealthy. Unions or not (I'm not expressing a stance here), I find it crazy that people can say it is a good thing for other people to be "under the boot".
