Everyone says this when it's a political argument or perspective they agree with. Not everyone agrees with the same perspectives; that's precisely what leads to flame wars and back-and-forth non-intellectual bickering. HN has been taken over by these threads since Trump was inaugurated, and especially since DOGE came into existence. Many of us don't find these discussions intellectually stimulating, especially on a website titled Hacker News.

I mean, look, you can at least make a case that we're in an unprecedented historical situation, and we should discuss that. But it shouldn't be as dominant a topic as it is, not here. If I wanted /r/politics, I'd go to /r/politics.
