Every comment in this thread is ideologically driven. It seems that if you don't want people commenting with political opinions, there shouldn't be political submissions.
As far as substance goes, how is my comment less substantive than the top comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15575704) on the thread? I said that it was foolish to consider protesting fascism to be worse than fascism, and that commenter said that protesters should be expelled. They're equally substantive comments that express opposing views on the issue in from the article.
A certain amount of politics is inevitable, but more than that turns HN into a war zone, which destroys the things the site exists for: intellectual curiosity and thoughtful conversation. So it's a tricky problem. We do two things to address it (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html):
1. Accounts that use HN primarily for political/ideological battle are obviously not using the site as intended, so we ban them.
2. Commenters are asked to avoid the inflammatory style of political argument. Comments need to get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
Unfortunately it looks like you've been running afoul of both of these. You need to fix that if you want to keep commenting here.
The "what about that other comment" argument, a.k.a. "the other person started it", a.k.a. "they did worse", doesn't really count as a defense because we can't possibly see everything that gets posted here. Not every driver who is speeding gets pulled over for a ticket. I agree with you that that comment was a bad one, but it doesn't mean yours were ok.
Germany has strong unions and a corporate structure known as codetermination in all large businesses that helps balance the power between capital and labor. Those two qualities, along with a monetary union that they dominate are the causes of their prosperity, not some phony value difference.
CPAN packages are written by thousands of different people with varying styles (cf. the issue with 10 different ways of doing the same thing), quality standards and maintenance schedules.
In Python I can expect the standard library to be consistent and be maintained as part of the core language. Now I don't mean that everything has to be in the standard library (I'm fine with the database access libraries being third-party for example), but in Perl even the most basic stuff like exceptions is only on CPAN and there are again multiple packages to choose from..
Unfortunately for Python is that many/most of the modules that are included were written when the language was fairly new, so at a time when nobody was an expert in the language.
Which means that perhaps for many of them there is a better module out in the ecosystem that almost nobody uses because they have one extra step to install them.
If you want something close to that in Perl 6, just install Inline::Python and you can use all of those “batteries included” with Python as if they were modules written in Perl 6.
Exceptions in Perl 6 are much easier to deal with than they are in Perl 5.
Give me a break.
