I'm so happy the author is an ethical SEO scammer and will not stoop to these tactics.

Churchill: “Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?”

Socialite: “My goodness, Mr. Churchill… Well, I suppose… we would have to discuss terms, of course…”

Churchill: “Would you sleep with me for five pounds?”

Socialite: “Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!”

Churchill: “Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.”

Churchill has an interesting reputation.

He was a failed military commander pre-PM, even ridiculed after the failed landing at Gallipoli:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallipoli_campaign

Yet we most remember him as a fierce leader from the top, and he did so while under extreme stress due to U-boat attacks strangling shipping to Britain, and puzzlement from the German alien-level advanced technology (V-2 hypersonic ballistic missiles, long-range radio navigation, etc.)

(His scientific advisor told him the above technologies were disinformation, and couldn't be real.)

It's important to realize that while French and British public opinion became soft on the value of their culture and nationhood, Churchill knew better. Just like the pernicious impact of cultural Marxism today in the US, which must be fought as a war on every front.

The downvotes will be because the article is about SEO and your comment (while factually OK on Churchill and WW2) is wildly off-topic and ends with a call to action against "cultural Marxism". That last bit is controversial not because people disagree with you, but because it looks like flamebait.

Since when is being anti-Marxist trolling?

Is that how misguided HNers have become?

I have hit "vouch" on this post because I wanted to respond. Being anti-Marxist (you originally said cultural-Marxist which is a reference to something different) is a perfectly valid position to hold, and if you spend much time on HN you'll find that there's actually a fair amount of political discussions and representation from the left, the centre and the right. But what you said looked weirdly out of place in this thread, and to be honest it seemed to me you were more interested in starting a fight than anything else.
