Why does that have to be the only reason? I personally think it has nothing to do with "Hacker" news, but I understand that sentiment has been in the fringe lately with HN becoming increasingly political.


Just to be clear, everything is political - whether you want to acknowledge it or not.


There's a far cry between someone showing off some weird contraption they hacked together versus posting about the Houthi's military campaign. If you can't see that, then I'm not sure what else to say.


What you're suggesting is that it's a spectrum and I agree. I don't know what to tell you.


“political” has a meaning, and it’s not “everything”.

Words mean things.


Totally, but I didn't say political means everything I said everything is political, which means anything a human does to any extent, tacitly or otherwise, is embedded in a power structure.
