This is a philosophical slippery slope. The next question is "what are facts?", or "who decides what's immoral?". I'm not interested in going down this because it's pointless.
Reading the original comment, what can construed as "too political" for HN? There wasn't any strong support or opposition.
- vkou 5y ago"The United States invaded Iraq and killed 500,000 innocent people because of the fragile ego of the Bush-Cheney cabal' is an example of: 1. An utterly reprehensible crime against humanity. 2. An accurate fact that's oft-repeated on HN 3. A highly political fact. 4. Utterly pointless to introduce in any conversation that is not closely related to wars. 5. A necessary reminder that our shit stinks. Despite all that, it's 'too political' to bring it up in a thread like this - because it has nothing to do with the subject, other than to give people a reason to engage in a nationalistic pissing contest.
