It is a shame this was flagged. This is a conversation that is needed. Culling all political discussion is not what today's hackers need.
Use hckrnews.com to read the HN front page and check "show dead" in settings. This will let you see threads that were active but flagged off the front page.

Not all political discussion is culled from HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....
The problem is that when an article (and title) are more fulminating than substantive, we get comments like these:

rdrama also shouldn't require accounts to read if they want engagement. Lurkers are 10X, don't block them. That's X's biggest technical issue currently, discounting the weird strategies around the wokeism-strawman and supporting apparent malefactors.
A poorly conceived and generic article. If he has a malignancy (if), it is greed not fear. And with that fact clear, the whole article makes no sense.
