Being a hacker and not wanting to deal with politics is like being a fish not wanting to deal with water.

  Yes, because ...all hackers from all over the globe will ...uhm, suffocate and die if they don't want to deal with political drama in the US.

    I think GP meant not realizing that one is unavoidably immersed in politics.

      That might be true but that doesn't mean we want to talk about it all day long every single day. Obviously HN's moderation and flagging system is a long way from perfect, but in general it does work.

      That's false though. I don't give a shit about fashion either and everybody wears clothes. But I don't have to listen to people moralize constantly about how important it is I listen to their shitty regurgitated takes on houndstooth. The everything is political crowd demand an army behind them even though they aren't worth following.
