Too bad the above post didn't give enough context to say which sense they're using it.
Makes them feel bad, see, and people don't come to HN to feel bad.
The hacker mindset values understanding how the moving parts fit together, and thinking about whether better strategies than the "received wisdom" exist. Politics is often a demand to pick a side, which is against that, but "we just don't do politically contraversial subjects here" is even more against that.
Why has this become so normal? I miss the days where this was focused on technology and, well, hacking.
Can we stop engaging this political commentary please.
