HN isn't only about tech. Today I've seen articles about photography (of workers), literary agencies, raves, wildfires (2 such) and the pronunciation of Latin.

The article probably shouldn't be here just because HN users won't respond to it with the sort of discussion that is wanted on HN, but it's about history and the functioning of systems of government and these are definitely not topics that are "far removed from HN stuff".
- jgrahamc 2y agoYes, I know. I've been on HN for almost 18 years and am #26 by karma on this site.
- omnicognate 2y agoMy apologies, I didn't realise I was in the presence of internet royalty.
- surgical_fire 2y agoThis kind of proves internet points are very meaningless, when #26 by internet points still flags a post that is essentially about history because it hurts his contemporary fragile political sensibilities. The discussion on the post is not even about Trump, people are making some interesting points about the historical fact.
- pjc50 2y ago> probably shouldn't be here just because HN users won't respond to it with the sort of discussion that is wanted on HN There's still a few pro-Trump holdouts, and HN gets extremely weird about politics. But like every discussion of Trump it turns into a content free flamewar. (hi jgrahamc, I'm #22 by karma on this site, god help me)
