  It's not increasing - whatever you're seeing is most likely random fluctuation. HN's approach to political stories was established a long time ago and we aren't changing it. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=political%20overlap%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17014869 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17014869

    What's intellectually interesting here? This article is mindless pap you could get anywhere online with some quick searching for anti woke. I don't mind political content if it's saying something novel, but this.... there's nothing here.

      Paul Graham is an important figure in tech (and arguably even more so on this site). If he comes out on one side or another of an important issue, it is interesting to this community. IMHO. If Zuckerberg had written TFA, I'd be interested too.

        If Paul Graham published his list of favorite la croix flavors, would it be interesting because of who he is? I don't understand celebrity worship in the slightest -- if a celebrity says something, why does that make it valuable to listen? Especially if it's poorly written drivel.
