Do you also plan to flag every article mentioning Marx, socialism, Chomsky, environmentalism (for or against), etc, etc? I don't think flagging is the answer.

I don't think flagging is the answer. Just don't read it.
- camccann 17y agoSure, thanks for the suggestions. I guess I might give Chomsky a pass if it was purely about linguistics and didn't involve his politics at all. Look, I'm not out to push my politics here, if that's what you're thinking. I read HN because of the high-quality discussions about technology and related matters. If I want to see flame wars over libertarianism, environmentalism, or whatever else there's an entire internet full of that dreck, and the amount of political content usually has a pretty direct negative correlation to the quality of discussion at a site.
