The OP may well be opposed to the rainbow flag or not. The fact that they are not allowed to make a facially neutral “no politics on my home screen” statement without HN speculating about some political leaning seems to me to be a pretty clear example of how some progressive movements are encroaching on what used to be neutral space.

  In the USSR it wasn't enough to have art that was apolitical, it was seen as vital that art acted to actively support the creation of a socialist society, and those seeking to create art in a neutral space were viewed as being reactionary. Defining apolitical spaces out of existence denies people the space to come to their own conclusions

  > “No politics” is itself a political statement. Yes, but it's often the one that the silent majority supports. And I think in many cases, it is in fact an objectively better and wiser strategy.
