Tech grew since the inception of HN, we went through quite different generations of people, and nowadays tech seems to be the one of the most political industries given its power, reach, and wealth.

It's impossible to disconnect from that, it's wishful thinking to expect a place attracting people from this industry to not have political content being discussed.

It's tech who got political, not HN, I hate to see it too, I'd prefer to be living in the era where creating things was the main purpose of our careers but that ship has sailed, the ground shifted under our feet.

The only reasonable grown-up thing to do is to accept the new status quo and deal with it, either by resisting or accepting that bygone era is done, it's no more.
