Fiscally conservative, socially liberal (in that order) probably best describes HN.


Of 5 years ago, maybe.


Economically liberal (as in Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell) and socially liberal.

Trumps tends to be economically liberal internally and a conservative for international economics.


I feel like that's a story HN and a lot of tech likes to tell itself, but the truth is that when push comes to shove they support candidates who are neither, but _are_ deeply right wing.

Concrete actions tell the real story.


fiscal conservatives that nevertheless don't want their mil contractor jobs to disappear.


The actual lib-left side of tech evaporated. ACLU, EFF, even fedora-core atheists etc are a shell/joke of their former selves. The remaining ones (i.e. Stallman) back Bernie, Yang, or still buy into the green party.

I got mass downvoted earlier and a "talking to" from Dang in regards to me pointing out that a certain Ron Wyden having one bad vote about BDS/isreal isn't a good enough reason to throw the baby out with the bath water and turn against one of the only reliable techno-libertarians. This site is done with its purported liberalism.


>fedora-core atheists

What, exactly, is a "fedora-core atheist?"

How might such an atheist differ from an atheist who runs Debian or OpenBSD?


So... Right Wing?


Entrepreneurs are kind of by definition neoliberals, aka libright.
