Well this specific submission seems highly relevant, and so far it hasn't been flagged off the front page yet :)
OT: I agree there is a lot of downvoting of submissions and comments with a political slant. Anything that's phrased as being slightly partisan seems to be immediately downvoted by people from the other side of the political spectrum because they don't agree with it.
- JoshTriplett 11y agoI have in the past flagged blatantly political articles that align perfectly with my own opinions, simply because they had no place on HN. There are better places for politics; see also http://lesswrong.com/lw/gw/politics_is_the_mindkiller/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/gw/politics_is_the_mindkiller/ . In this case, I think this article is relevant for the HN audience, because of the massive technology-related threat involved here.
