alt Hacker NewsTo quote you from an earlier comment of yours: "This is exactly the sensational take (devoid of nuance and information) that we should collectively push back against."
The left has been traditionally anti-capitalist and in favor of improving rights and living conditions. Who on the left is gaining financially from distorting the truth to the level of someone like Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, the Koch Brothers, or Jeff Bezos?

In the favor of improving living conditions? If and only if it is through their ideology. If it is through something which goes against their ideology the goalposts move at the speed of light and out comes some rationalization like "it wasn't really important, what we need is community".
When communism had claims to being more productive growth was the most important thing in the world and why we should adopt their ideology. Now look at the 'degrowth' people what a coincidence and they are literally arguing for worsening living conditions....

I don't understand what is sensationalist with my comment.
- I didn't make an outrageous or extrordinary claim.
- I didn't paint either side as crazy, broken or evil.
- I'm not leveraging charged language like racial slurs, or historical tragedies (nazi-ism).
- I'm not personally attacking anyone or encouraging any violence.
