Seems to frame political division as mainly a type of class struggle dictated by education. Implying that any lack of sufficient leftness corresponds directly to a lack of education.

I'm generally not a fan of dragging politics into HN. But I often find genuine introspection like this to be interesting.

I would agree with this assessment. I generally flag politics here, but this introspective article is actually quite illuminating and worthy of some level of discussion.

I hold my breath over the potential of the worst commenters on HN though, but hope for civility
