Well, have you ever tried to submit a political article? Even from very mainstream sources? It gets flagged within seconds - it's flagged like a rotten vegetable in the fridge that has to be tossed right away. How an article like this one didn't get flagged is surprising to me. Actually, HN is pretty direct, the moderators have explained many times how it's not within policy to promote political discussions. On the one hand, I get it: these are terribly subjective, more so than some Go hack, or release of a new version of Python major release. On the other hand, a lot of the people are smart, sometimes domain experts. It's fascinating and rewarding to read a back-and-forth between two calm, but fully disagreeing individuals. My secret wish is some sort of "HN Politics" or "HN Social" or something. The .js frameworks discussions and the weekly 'tech interview' complaints get tiring.
