It's always funny going through the recent comment history of people who complain about politics, as if such complaints aren't political in and of themselves:

> I truly hate what HN has become. It has all the expected comments about Musk, fascism, etc

> HN has turned into reddit. It's highly political with strong anti Israeli and anti USA views.

I could completely understand if you wanted to just read about technical topics rather than say more coverage/condemnation of Israel's genocide that's already covered in many other places. But when you start characterizing the existence of such discussion as "anti Israeli", or criticizing people for merely having the temerity to discuss contemporary fascism, you've gone solidly into politics yourself.

So it would seem you're being disingenuous with this comment - you do like politics, rather you just don't like people discussing glaring elephants in the room that clash with your own political views.

It’s not that complicated or one-sided. We just don’t want the constant “anti-“ noise everywhere. Take the complaining elsewhere.

If you truly don't want "the constant 'anti-' noise everywhere", then why are you writing an anti- comment in defense of another anti- comment?

In general, something akin to this has been said at every political movement throughout history. Stop complaining, stop making waves, know your place, stop disrupting order. Such admonishments are not apolitical! Rather they are inherently political - in favor of preserving the status quo.

Our world and our societies are facing many problems. Technology has a part in most of them, which is why discussion of technology tends to surface criticisms. You may desire to live in a bubble where you don't have to see such criticisms, but this is an open public discussion forum and most people are not. Sorry.

		> why are you writing an anti- comment in defense of another anti- comment? Reminds me of "tolerance doesn't mean we have to tolerate things we deem intolerant or we personally don't agree with". That's fine, you may desire to have political discussions everywhere. I get it, it feels good to believe you're fighting for a good cause. But some of us will scold you, downvote/flag you, and complain about all the noise. Like you said, it's open and public, so we'll just have to let the site's rules and process decide who wins.
