I can understand this standpoint, but it's also a bit hypocritical (on a site-wide basis, not specifically you). HN has been a place where the people currently running the government got praise. Elon Musk had huge thousand post threads every time he did something marginally interesting. Now that he's running roughshod over the government, any negative actions he takes are suddenly political and do not deserve to be here. A lot of the current admin is a beast of Tech's creation. The time to stop this problem from coming to roost was years ago.

Heh, I also think rather a lot of what is happening right now is the direct result of what I've frequently called "Silicon Valley Liberalism" coming home to roost, and the rage is basically the rage that their actions and beliefs had consequences other than what they desire, and the universe should conform itself to what consequences were "supposed" to transpire rather than what did. However, things do not work that way. I'm not about to try to inject that concept into the rage threads, though.
