If that is true then I must say I have never noticed it before. A big portion of all posts on /best are about politics, governance, reforms, EU copyright laws, GDPR, some lawsuit in Austria about social media, outcries to regulate Facebook. HN is a place with _a lot_ of political discussion. I think it's way better to discuss why you think it's controversial instead of flagging an interesting topic to discuss. So that's why Im sad to see such an active thread get flagged.
