Actually, as soon as I saw the original post, I wanted to say exactly what you said. (and actually, I didn't because I know that HN is mostly a politically-correct crowd) HN does suffer from leaning to a 'politically correct' narrative.
As a technologist, I absolutely love debates about (for instance) whether a startup should adopt Scheme or Haskell as a competitive advantage.
But any kind of debate that veers off the liberal politically-correct agenda on HN gets downvoted or hellbanned into oblivion. What you've said is absolutely true: "The silent majority is the biggest political and social problem of our time." HN, despite its enormous contribution to Silicon Valley, is a blue-pill population.
Kudos to you for saying it. The emperor wears no clothes.
