The point you're missing on this website: it's frequented by a disproportionate number of millionaires, millionaires who are carefully investing their money to become billionaires within 10 years, and even present-day billionaires. Any posts addressing concerns of "rich people aren't the best thing ever" often get downvoted.
Maybe also related: a lot of startups take VC funding and current VC funding has shady origins. Some funds are powered by illegal russian investment money hidden through one or two layers of LPs, some is money of different questionable provenance, and some is actually clean money from sources you would expect. but, free money, so who cares if your startup is built on peasant blood money?
Once you've taken VC funding, you're not just in startups anymore, you're in politics of money. Money politics are the worst kind — it blinds you to anything illegal or immoral as long as the money keeps flowing.
