I'm not sure why this would be flagged and tagged dead, I vouched for it.
As a matter of respect for the HN medium, you don't flag articles you simply "don't like". That said, this seems like important and relevant discourse.
While this article is technically "Off-Topic" [1]; with all the discussion over YC's Peter Thiel supporting Trump, I'd expect something as black-and-white as this to be non-controversial.
