I really don't think that's the case here. Most beliefs that align with "hard work" is often touted as "Fascism". That's what we're dealing with here.

I've been searching for last few years, I read HN every day and haven't found anyone pro-hard work and celebrating perseverence.

There's literally an Ask HN on the front page right now about the most impactful thing readers have built with like 300 comments. Hard to believe that such a thread isn't celebrating hard work and perseverance.

Perhaps people are tired of being told "hard work is its own reward" from people who are extremely rewarded with money and a suspicious lack of hard work.
