Thanks, Elon Musk, for debunking the myth that billionaires are smart and capitalism is a just system (slrpnk.net)

              Guys, why did this get so many downvotes? (was it edited to be more mild? it seems genuinely curious to me, and the responses to it are good)
What is this comment referencing? I don't see "a second part". Was the post edited?

I, who has written the comment, had the same feeling. I assure you that, being English not my mother tongue, was genuinely curious, but when I've seen the downvotes, I wanted to ask why, then I realized the I couldn't care less. If people feel attacked by a comment and they want to do a reprimand via downvotes let them do it.

Well, if it helps, some solar punk posts like this one go mainstream. I think there's only about 150 active solarpunk members so when a post gets close to 1000 votes that means non-community members are voting.

I've commented on solarpunk stuff that was mildly in capatlism defense (much more controversial than your question), and had great conversations/critisims with almost no downvotes. So I think/hope the downvotes are not from the core solarpunk community. It is still sad, but I would be much more sad if it happened and the main post only had 100 upvotes.
