  You want to talk about other things when Fascism is at your doorstep? Sprinkle a little bit of reality into your diet.

      This thread is also very easy to not click on. I don’t want people like you adding to voices that suggest this isn’t as fucking serious as it is.

        When did I suggest it's not serious? I suggested you can go be serious elsewhere. Humanity has lots of horrific things to offer which are serious yet don't belong cluttering up HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html You might want to read "What to Submit." Did you submit this because good hackers would find it interesting, and it gratifies your intellectual curiosity? Or did you submit it because you're angry and it's "fucking serious?"

  Hacker news is 60% pop culture clickbait at least. Actual new stories of tech oligarchs taking over the US government is more relevant than most of the links.

  Tech and politics are inextricably linked in our society and daily lives. We can't avoid that truth any longer.

  Hacker News tries to avoid political news in general, but it seems warranted in this case because Musk is a major figure in the tech industry, and also because it appears he’s using a small number of young engineers from his companies to gain access to and control over systems at OPM.
