No. Just no. HN is a forum for hackers to talk and discuss anything that interests them, which may very well include the latest cool gadgets someone wants to buy. In fact, HN guidelines specifically say: Off-Topic: Most stories about politics. HN is not the zero-sum, channel of communication-most-important that you think it is. This is not a zero-sum game. HN is not a place where you badger other people for talking about a topic just because you think another topic is more "important." You don't yell at your friends for talking about startups instead of Syria. At least I hope you don't. You're just being mean.
