Unfortunately it is. There are many posts on social and political issues.
- dang 10y agoYou're both right. There are such posts, yet HN is not a political site. The balance/tension there is delicate and important. The problem with your comment upthread is that it was uncivil because it took the thread into political battle. We all know how difficult if not intractable that particular battle is, and how dreadfully easy to reduce everything to it. The pull of that black hole, strong as it may be, needs to be resisted if we're to have the civil, substantive discussion we're hoping for on HN. Please assume good faith when commenting here. (We're going to add that to the site guidelines btw.)
