There's not many more capitalist places on the internet, the fact you identify HN as a "left wing mob" indicates you've completely lost touch with reality.
One of the nice things about HN is being exposed to a broad range of opinions. As fairly left wing myself, I don’t find it particularly welcoming nor hostile when it comes to political issues. Which is a refreshing change from the normal echo chambers both the left and right can get into. However, some people interpret “there exist people with different opinions than me” as somehow being a mob, which just seems like an angry attempt to silence discussion. (I’ve seen left and right complain about that on HN, so I think it’s less about politics alignment than it is about certain personality types that can be found across the political spectrum. The right’s equivalent of militant “SJW’s” or whatever the current bogeyman is.)
All of big tech is run by crony capitalist oligarchs working hand in hand with politicians which happen to all support one side. When all of big tech, media, academia, Hollywood, late night tv hosts, trillionaire corporations with horrible hiring, firing, poor working conditions support the same candidates and view points, maybe it’s not so pure.
